"He is wrong" yes this is a good approach because you judge his actions not attacking him personally. Even better if you present the list of things and be more precise, for example, "he is wrong about comments and ..."

"exposing a clown..." this is a personal attack, even if somebody is wrong pitchforks and torches isn't a solution. This is bad for many reasons: this behavior fosters hostility, it is indistinguishable from "ad hominem", it doesn't help people to form an educated decision, rather just emotions
