Answer: Red herring technique

Explanation:

Red herring is a wrong reasoning or argument that is different from the topic of discussion which is introduced purposely to distract the attention of those listening from what the main issue is. This technique could be adopted intentionally or as a rhetorical strategy. It was made popular in 1807 by William Cobbett an English Polemicist.
