He didn’t say that he made up the story.
He repeatedly says that he’s reporting what his constituents told him. When pressed by the interviewer about why he says he “created” the story, he clarifies that he meant he created the news story, as in created the news focus on it.
Here is a link to the interview in question, so you can decide for yourself whether he claims he made it up, or whether people who tell you that are lying to you, or being misinformation puppets for others who lied to them:

But as a VP candidate, he should know how to avoid this confusion. And he took the opportunity to justify the damage rather than own up to his part in the misinformation. I frankly agree with you on his exact intent of those words, but he's still unforgivable.
He didn’t justify the damage, he clarified what he meant. The “damage” lasted all of like 60 seconds before he clarified, and all of the “damage” since then has been caused by what I described above, which is a combination of people knowingly lying about what he said, and others gullibly passing along those lies because they match their desired narrative.
Now that you know, are you going to stop repeating the idea that “JD Vance thinks it’s okay to lie to drum up fear”?
Look at you like a good little anti-american magat, defending stostachic terrorism.
Did you miss the bomb threats that were called in because of the lie he spread?
How long until people are killed because of the lies he spreads?
Why are you ok with that?
He know it's fake, he still pass it on as truth and made the news.
So yeah we're passing on what the internet told us, even though we know it's fake. Fair game, i say.
Do you have any evidence that the reports he received are fake?
Currently you’re arguing that he’s passing in information he knows is fake, and so are you, and that’s fair. Except the only one you can be certain is knowingly passing along fake information is yourself.

He said a dog ate the report, and then the migrants ate the dog.
