Just your basic ad hominem (to the man) diatribe. It's not necessarily a fallacy if a person's credentials are being called into question. If someone is not qualified for a certain subject it's permissible to call them out for being over their head. However, an ad hominem (insult) is an attack on the person rather than the claim, and that can be a fallacious error in argumentation.
