deflective-dissonance

a last ditch tactic in either a debate, argument, and or social issue when a person(s) avoid answering a direct question with good and honest intentions, quote false facts, impugn others, and simply will not admit to the abundantly obvious question, fact, point, or truth. Because admitting to the point, would be defeat or they are wrong.

Joe-I'm overwhelmingly qualified. I have a degree in the field, managed the award winning team, and have the most experience of all the candidates, yet you only hire the white personnel, so you're a racist. Boss- I just go with my gut instinct on hiring, like the NFL. Joe-That's deflective-dissonance!
