"They knew it was all a lie. But they kicked off this whole campaign of hate and demagoguery anyway.
These revelations should prompt a reconsideration of one of this campaign’s ugliest moments: Vance’s defense of the pet-eating fabrication on CNN last Sunday. “If I have to create stories” to get the media to cover the impact of immigration, he said, “then that’s what I’m going to do.”
This move is really a form of what’s been called “sanewashing”—it repackages one of the MAGATS' racist lies as merely an effort to prompt a good-faith policy debate. And it has been widely analyzed as damage control, as an attempt to put positive spin on a lie after getting caught out for it."
