    Default Liberals caught lying

    This is one of those social media ‘things’ where you look at and think to yourself, ‘This is just so shitty.’

    We get it, media, you hate Trump and by extension, Mike Pence, but pretending this ridiculousness is a story without doing the least bit of due diligence is really just pathetic.

    From using fake footage of hospitals to fake testing sites to using footage of a gun range to claim Syrians were at war, the media have done themselves no favors in the past four years.

    Look at this horse crap:

    Look at all the people who liked it.

    105k.

    And it’s fake.

    This made me curious, so I watched the unedited C-SPAN video. Pence makes multiple trips from van to the doors of the center delivering full boxes of PPE. Pence's comment about empties for the camera is a joke – he shuts the doors right after he says it.https://t.co/JMMz7nEVit https://t.co/VNw4aqJ3jN

    All the morons pushing this fake story had to do was watch the entire video.

    Default Jimmy Kimmel airs misleading clip of Mike Pence carrying ‘empty’ PPE boxes

    Jimmy Kimmel aired a misleading clip of Vice President Mike Pence carrying boxes of PPE into a hospital on Thursday, claiming the boxes were empty, but a reporter pointed out that the full video reveals he was simply teasing staffers about the boxes being empty.

    “Here he is with no mask on, wheeling boxes of PPEs into a health care center, and doing his best to lift them, what a hero… since it was going so well, and also because he didn’t realize he had a mic on, Magic Mike decided to keep it going, listen in closely here,” Kimmel said before playing audio from the footage.

    The ABC late-night host showed a staffer telling Pence the leftover boxes were empty and it was time to go.

    “Well can I carry the extra ones? Just for the camera?” Pence asked.

    Kimmel then scolded Pence without revealing the context of the footage.

    “Mike Pence pretending to carry empty boxes of PPEs into a hospital is a perfect metaphor for who he is and what he’s doing. A big box of nothing,” Kimmel said.

    The misleading clip was shared on Twitter and attracted over 2.7 million views.

    BuzzFeed News deputy director David Mack noticed the misleading clip and defended the vice president.

    “This isn't true. The clip cuts out at a selective point. When you watch the CSPAN footage (9 min in), Pence makes the crack about carrying the empty ones and the guy says ‘Absolutely. They're a lot easier!’ Pence laughs then immediately shuts the van door,” Mack wrote, adding a link to the CSPAN footage.

    “Pence and the other officials lift boxes that clearly weigh something (i.e. contain things). Pence returns to the car, makes the empty box comment with a smirk, guy responds with crack of his own, they laugh, Pence closes door,” Mack added.

    The BuzzFeed deputy reporter also noted that Kimmel removed the clip from Twitter once he was confronted.

    I can't say it enough, a Trump supporter labeling anyone anywhere a liar is like a Bernie Madoff defender calling someone else a thief

    Whataboutism. Liberals were caught lying. It has nothing to do with President Trump.

    Its more a matter of being unable to come up with humor that doesnt intentionally involve fabricating a thing that never happened.
    How impotent can you get ?

    Why were most of the boxes empty? Who loads up a car with a bunch of empty boxes to "deliver" them to a hospital?

    But yes, there were a few half full boxes that he also delivered in his fake photo op, so that is something... Why weren't they fully full?

    If we are being honest, America is collapsing, and Pence delivered one box of gloves, divided into several boxes to look like more, and surrounded by several empty boxes to look like more... But he did honestly deliver one box... Where did it come from? Was it stolen from another hospital?
