He literally says in the clip, "If you’re a conservative, and you want to engage in Critical Theory stuff, then you’re engaged in a raw power struggle where truth doesn’t count"

Yes, and as I notd it, he says that "iterally" after he is specifially referring to the *kind* of behavior he is discouraging. Again, you could say that he may be sloppy in ascribing bad behavior to "critical theory stuff" because he is speaking off the cuff about aa particular issue.
Eitehr way, two things are still true:
1. Yuo'd need to establish form a broader context (e.g. his book) that he sepcifically enjoins Chrsitans that ciritical theory in all its forms is a form of lying and that Christians can't do it. Given Trueman's care as a scholar it is doubtul he ever does this and I'm planning on getting the book.
2. It has zero to do wtih Trueman being British and not wanting to go against the status quo.
Candidly, I've considered you a pretty careful thinker up to this point and this is beneath yoru normal care to represent ideas accurately.

If he wants to clarify his remarks, he can. I'd be happy to link to anything he writes on the topic.

Link to this as I have as a separate link so you can read what he has written on Biblical Critical Theory.
