The way to protect the right to lie is to lie

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) said he won’t release a plan showing how he’d pay for Medicare for All, claiming, “I don’t think I have to do that right now.”
Sanders and fellow 2020 contender Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) have jockeyed with rivals who say Sanders’s plan for a government takeover of the health sector—which Warren supports—is impossible because of the high costs it would bring.

Warren has repeatedly refused to say whether the plan would cause taxes for the middle class to rise; Sanders has said it would, but has never provided a plan showing how Medicare for All would be funded.
Why not lie? Liz and Warren want the right to lie from Zuck, Bernie should get it too.
