I believe the answer is: Begging the Question

Begging the Question refers to a logical fallacy where a writer/speakr is using a premise to support itself without the necessary argument to support their intial claim.

In the statement above, the writer made an initial claim that ' Libertarians are insensitive to the plight of the poor', but never once explained the follow up explanation on what make the libertarians do to deserve this accusation.
