Never said they didn't lie, but they don't lie to the extent of Trump. But, let's be realistic here. It is safe to say virtually all politicians lie. They might do it by omission, exaggeration or just try to spin things to make them sounds less damning. But, they usually don't make shit up. Trump does all of this, including the making shit up and taking credit for others work. Lying for Trump comes as easy as breathing for the rest of us. I mean, him and Vance made up a whole backstory for Haitian immigrants eating people's pets! Vance admitted he lied to get coverage....which led to that town getting inundated with bomb threats and bad publicity.
You seem to give a free pass for Trump. I do not. Nor do I give one for any politician. But, I am also realistic, and have the ability to see nuance. Things get said in the heat of the moment, when rhetoric gets in the way of accuracy. But, for example, was Walz in Hong Kong during the Tianamen protests? Yes, he was. Now, thankfully, we have fact checkers, which I know Trump and Vance HATE...so, this has already come out and Walz has since clarified things.
