I would not say it is a syllogism because syllogisms make concrete statements
Major premise: All M are P.
Minor premise: All S are M.
Conclusion: All S are P.
If it is a syllogism it is a very poor one and not one that can be defended logically.
Then again there are much better logicians than me here so if I am wrong please correct me.
Basically my point was that he is using false logic.
Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts
