Goldfish Fallacy

Avoiding accountability for a prior claim by pretending to not recall stating the claim, thereby avoiding the need to defend, retract, or reconcile it with current claims.

I hate Jeffery, I always knew he was terrible.
You said Jeffery was in the right last week.
No I did not, I do not remember saying that.
That is a Goldfish Fallacy, there is hard evidence of you saying that.
