Answer: Ad Hominem.

Explanation: Ad Hominem is a fallacious arguments, where genuine reason for an argument or discussion is avoided by attacking the persons personality, character, Past mistakes, achievements, or any thing related to the person. This can simply be refered to as a person being abusive to another, in an argument or discussion. In this example the speaker was attacking his opponent, by talking about the character and personality of her opponent. The life biography of a person should not be attacked during an argument. If such is done, that means Ad Hominem has been committed.
