'There is no lie too big' for Trump and Vance, Andy Beshear says

Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear came out swinging against the former president and his current running mate when he said on ABC’s “This Week” that “there is no lie too big for Donald Trump and JD Vance,” referring to their refusal to acknowledge that Trump lost the 2020 election.

“I mean, when you ask [Vance] about the last election, all you’re asking him to do is admit reality,” Beshear, a Democrat, told “This Week” host Martha Raddatz on Sunday. “And we deserve to have a Vice President who believes in democracy and can say, yes, Donald Trump lost the last election, and now we’re running in this election.” Beshear appeared on “This Week” just moments after an appearance by Vance himself, where Raddatz questioned him repeatedly about whether or not Trump lost the 2020 election.

Vance’s responses echoed what he said during the vice presidential debate, and multiple times after, when asked the same question. “I’ve said repeatedly, I think the 2020 election had problems. You want to say rigged, you want to say he won, use whatever vocabulary term you want,” Vance told Raddatz, adding that he wants “to focus on the fact that we had big technology firms censoring our fellow citizens in a way that violated our fundamental rights.”

This censorship is in reference to independent studies that have — Vance has said — suggested affected the vote. Adding to his critique of intentionally spreading misinformation, Beshear also slammed Trump and Vance for lying about FEMA’s disaster response during Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Milton.

disinformation and misinformation are very polite, and nice ways to say THEY ARE LYING.

Vance says "use whatever vocabulary term you want."

OK, I will apply the vocabulary term "liar" to Vance.
