What's the name of the logical fallacy of the badly framed question?

the famous "When did you stop beating your wife?"

Willard's "When DID free speech become a right-wing value?" - The answer is "it didn't" but he has already won by framing the question the way he wants.

"When DID the right wing become a gang of child rapists?" is exactly the same bad faith rhetorical manipulation.

Lots of Twitter personalities get famous by doing this one very dishonest thing very well 25 times a day.
