"There are no facts that back up the scenario that will scare you into needing me, so I'll make it up FOR YOUR OWN GOOD"

No, Immigrants Aren’t Eating Your Pets. But Vance Says the Lie Was Worth It.

It would be quaint to say that lying is wrong, or that voters should assume that pols who are willing to lie for you will lie to you. But what Trump and Vance did here transcends mere prevarication. A more specific charge would be a violation of the ninth commandment to not bear false witness against a neighbor.
