What was America’s biggest politcal lie?

Representative Mo Brooks (Alabama) has a answer.
In a recent speech he compared today’s Democrats to Nazi Germany’s leaders in that they both perpetrated the Big Lie and that they were both socialists. His argument’s conclusion was simple:

"For more than two years, socialist Democrats and their fake news media allies - CNN, MSNBC, the New York Times, Washington Post and countless others - have perpetrated the biggest political lie, con, scam and fraud in American history," Brooks continued, arguing that Attorney General William P. Barr's conclusions exposed the accusations of collusion as "nothing but a big lie."

I wondered how other board members would answer the question in the thread’s title?

I wasn’t sure how to define the question. Does biggest lie mean the most outrageous? The most widely-believed? The most damaging? The most enduring? Something else?

“I am not a crook”? 1973
“I did not have sex with that woman”? 1998
“We did not, I repeat, did not trade weapons or anything else [to Iran] for hostages, nor will we,” 1985
“U-2 spy planes are not flying over the Soviet Union.” 1960
“Spain sunk the USS Maine.” 1898
