Answer:
red herring
Explanation:
Red herring is a noun that means: something, especially a sign / clue that is misleading / incorrect and that distracts from a really important / relevant issue. As can be seen in the example shown in the question above, where Ken, diverts from the subject and distracts Mike, so that Ken's morality is not the main topic of conversation.
The expression red herring, came about because, red herrings were old and fetid fish whose blood was used to distract the dogs from the actual location of the fish to other more distant locations. An alternative etymology points out that the meaning of this expression came from prisoners who escaped from the dogs in pursuit by throwing the spicy fish to lose them.
British troops to march against the Patriot arsenal at Concord and capture Patriot leaders Samuel Adams and John Hancock, known to be hiding at Lexington.
