That's an error in elementary logic, the excluded middle, as I recall.
Some of us tend to refer to it as the fallacy of the false dichotomy around here, but it's all the same thing.
False dilemma
The informal fallacy of false dilemma—also known as false choice, false dichotomy, falsified dilemma, fallacy of the excluded middle, black and white thinking, false correlative, either/or fallacy, and bifurcation—involves a situation in which two alternative statements are held to be the only possible options, when in reality there exist one or more other options which have not been considered.
