Fake news isn't a problem
as long as it's anti-Trump
Washington Examiner, by Kaylee McGhee

A deceptively edited video of Vice President Mike Pence is making the rounds, so it’s time for a fact check: No, the vice president did not deliver empty boxes of personal protective equipment to a Virginia healthcare center on Thursday. Any claim to the contrary is fake news spread by people unwilling to do a little research. That includes Jimmy Kimmel, who, during his show on Thursday, played a 40-second video clip purportedly showing Pence, who had a hot mic on, grabbing a couple of boxes only to be told that they were empty. “Well, can I carry the empty ones? Just for the camera?” Pence replies. And then the clip, which has garnered millions of views, ends there.
Mike Pence pretending to carry empty boxes of PPEs into a hospital is the perfect metaphor for who he is and what he's doing," Kimmel said while narrating the clip. "A big box of nothing, delivering another box of nothing."
What Kimmel didn’t show is Pence putting the boxes down, shutting the door of the vehicle, and joking with one of his aides about how the empty boxes would have been “a lot easier” to carry.
Kimmel was ultimately forced to acknowledge his mistake. His apology naturally included a not-so-subtle jab at the Trump administration. Alas, what more can we expect from people whose instinctual anti-Trump mindset leads them to actively create and spread fake news?
When will YOU apologize for being a such a serial liar? |
