I was actually just going from your one sentence. The overall quote is more elegant, more nuanced, but still wrong.

Why do senators have to either take the nookular-option of denying funding (which most would agree is extreme) or give 100% support? Usually when a debator/speaker tries to pidgeon-hole a spectrum of choices into two limited, specific options... one of them is a "straw man" loser, by construction.
