From the WaPo:

In a contentious interview with CNN's Dana Bash on Sunday morning, Vance said that if he has to "create stories so that the American media actually pays attention to the suffering of the American people, then that's what I'm going to do."

So Vance is a lying liar who promises more lying because that's what it takes to stir up the rubes.

Yep.

Seen it twice today already. Doesn't get any better for him the second time. Doesn't matter that the Trump campaign in reigning terror down on the town. Collateral damage not worth being concerned about. And now Trump's going to go to Springfield. I'm sure the people there are just going to love that.

I'm just a little surprised he's so open about it. Possibly a byproduct of his apparently boundless arrogance?

Or an indication of a complete lack of morals and ethics?

Just like Fox News, Vance admits he makes ---- up.

Yet he admits to making it up.

Why would he do that?

Really.

Providing a link to the SNL Blues Brothers as a substantiation of your assertion?

For the record, I had seen the first episodes of SNL back in the day (and this season marks the 50th season of SNL!). The Blues Brothers were quite the phenom back then. I was there.

But to refer to them now as any manner of a substantiation, well, wow.

Vance and Trump should be held responsible for all the threats, closures, etc. happening to Springfield, OH. They should be sued out of existence. They should be help criminal responsible if possible. JP Dunce has been unapologetic about his and trump's lying about this.

Enough of this.

So now the GOP itself and their favorite mouthpiece, Faux News, have openly admitted to lying to their base on purpose.

And still the base soldiers on like good little idiots.

MAGA logic = this is ok. It's just an alternative way to bring attention to a problem that needs attention.

Like I have always said, you can't argue and expect to win with MAGA supporters.

It's why Trump acts the way he does and gets away with it with his core group.

Apparently he also thinks it is OK to make up stories, even when those stories provoke threats and possible violence against those the story is about.

"create stories"

that's fine when you're writing a work of fiction.

What Vance did is called lying.

That's not what he said but leave it to lying leftists to twist his words. He still maintains the story is real and true according to people on the ground in that city. Of course officials are going to deny it, it's beyond embarrassing to admit you let in all these migrant hoardes and they're eating the animals in the neighborhood.

Those "people" could stand forth with their stories. After all, it's not their lives being threatened.

Vance is a liar. So are you.

Even the geese killing stories have been debunked at this point. Listen to Dana Bash fact check Vance on the issue, telling him that officials in OH reviewed 11 months of 911 calls and found two intances of complaints aobut Haitians killing geese and neither of them was substantiated:

Of course he does because he's a racist playing on the fears of other racists because he believes/hopes it will help him win the election.

"Repeat a lie often enough and it becomes the truth", is a law of propaganda often attributed to the Nazi Joseph Goebbels. Among psychologists something like this known as the "illusion of truth" effect.

"Create Stories" is a euphemism for "Lie my a** off."

Maga lives in a delusional world where their FEELINGS are more important than any FACTS.

They FEEL like immigration is out of control, so it's ok to MAKE UP LIES to justify those feelings.

Proof? How come democrats need to prove every little thing they say but you do not have to prove anything to back up the ridiculous things you maga maroons say?

You "heard a guy on tv" say it is NOT proof.

Why do you think that this is ok?
