Actually it is very easy to figure out where she went wrong. It was in this line.

And you know what in my country, in my family I think that I believe that a marriage should be between a man and a woman.

If she didn't say "in my country" she would have been perfectly fine. Those three words made it sound like the entire US population was against same-sex marriage like her family.

A common rhetorical trick. She pretty much revealed the "depth" of her character and denied her fellow countrymen any individuality. Good job miss california. Good job. :/

 

But that's just a common way to state the majority view.  It has nothing to do with a rhetorical trick
