The Blade called Pelosi “one of the most influential champions of LGBTQ rights in American politics,” recognizing, among other things, her HIV/AIDS advocacy, as well as the roles she played in passing the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act and in repealing “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.”

I agree with dunking on the deflection, but this is more a red herring logical fallacy, which is (as the image says) presenting an irrelevant (whether true or false) subject change to avoid rebutting the argument. It could also perhaps be framed as ad hominem or appeal to hypocrisy, though neither truly fit.

Not really a straw man fallacy, which involves presenting an intentionally weak version of a relevant core argument to easily rebut it.
