Nobody has ever said "they don't exist" as a category. News about them in development has been available for half a century. They don't exist as a boogeyman to start fires, however. That would be a "right wing conspiracy theory," and it would be completely unfounded. You would have better luck with a burning glass and sunlight.
Who is "they"? Not anyone in the defense industry, I can tell you that. There have been regular news items for the past half-century, as developments materialize. I can agree that uninformed people may have been saying such things. Why would you think they are a standard of knowledge?

Yeah...that's not true. They were running around saying they don't exist, at all.

Mysterious evil lasers don't exist, however.
