Vance claims there was a “peaceful transfer of power” in 2021

J. D. Vance, Trump’s 2024 running mate, is a prolific liar. He falsely accused Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, of stealing and eating pets, which has caused real harm to innocent people (see story here); then he tried to justify this lie as “telling stories” to get media a[...]

When photos are deceptive

Those people wearing “Auto Workers for Trump” t-shirts in the photo below? They’re Trump supporters who attended a Detroit campaign rally on Tuesday, October 8, 2024, where J.D. Vance was the featured speaker. They were “stationed in a featured spot” behind Vance as he [...]

Trump sees Democrats in the mirror

When Trump looks into a mirror, he often sees Democrats. Four weeks before the 2024 election, he’s gone on a lying binge. His lies aren’t a bit creative; they’re his own biography. After one devastating hurricane, with another on the way, he’s falsely claiming Biden is divert[...]

Is Tim Walz a liar?

J. D. Vance (image at left), Trump’s 2024 running mate, is a prodigious liar. The most egregious of Vance’s lies is “telling stories” about Haitian immigrants that are untrue, racist, and caused bomb threats and school closures. But Vance also drastically flip-flopped on Trum[...]
