No, Mike Pence Did Not Deliver Empty Boxes To A Nursing Home For A Publicity Stunt
Buzzfeed ^ | May 8th 2020 | David Mack

Posted on 05/08/2020 10:03:36 AM PDT by jaydubya2

A viral clip from comedian Jimmy Kimmel was edited to remove some important context.

On his Thursday night show, late-night comedian Jimmy Kimmel used a clip of Pence at the nursing home to suggest there was nothing inside the boxes.

"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," said Kimmel. "Listen in closely here."

Kimmel then cut to video showing the vice president inquiring about the last boxes in the van before being told they were empty.

"Well, can I carry the empty ones? Just for the camera?" Pence can be heard saying.

Kimmel then said, "Mike Pence pretending to carry a big box of PPEs into a hospital is the perfect metaphor for who he is and what he's doing: a big box of nothing, delivering another box of nothing."

But the clip was selectively edited by Kimmel's team.

The full clip from CSPAN clearly showed Pence, along with Verma and Polowczyk, loading and unloading boxes of some weight.

Then, as Pence returns to the van one final time, he makes the comment about the empty boxes and immediately smiles as those around him laugh.

When the man helping to unload the van says, "Absolutely," that same man then says jokingly, "They're a lot easier," to more laughter.

Pence then immediately closes the van door. He does not proceed to carry any of the boxes he was informed were empty.

The left is vile, and they are at war with us. This kind of thing should be illegal.

I swear, if things get hot, the media, including celeb flunkies had better find bunkers, fast.

A stunning bit of honesty from Buzzqueer. Meanwhile, Jimmy Kimmel is one of the biggest slimeballs around.

Agreed. These media scum are more our enemies than the actual politicians.

How queer, Facebook, Youtube, and Twitter are all OK with this bit of FakeNews from the 6th Grade Lunch Room Media.

File a complaint with the FCC against the ABC affiliates.

Notify the shareholders of Disney that ABC repeatedly peddles fake news. Recall the day they tanked the stock market with a fake bombshell.

“File a complaint with the FCC against the ABC affiliates.”

I was preparing to send a complaint, and I saw this thing is even on Yahoo news. So, even idiot Americans are being made aware of this.

He is just an entertainer. At one time society thought of entertainers were at the same level as prostitutes. In other words not the kind of people you wanted to pay any attention to.

for a comedian, kimmel has a very small sense of humor.

When pressed, I’m sure Scummy Kimmel will revert to the “I’m just a comedian. What do I know?”

No wonder Kimmel is no longer co-hosting ‘The Man Show’- he’s lost his man-card.

As a side note- there are several videos of Kimmel being VERY creepy with underage girls and female guests on that show

Kimmel is a comedian, and they edit stuff to make it funny or what they think is funny.

What is destructive to america is when the media pretends a comedian is a news source, and repeats fake claims that are easily debunked. But thats what our enemies do to us.

Kimmel's "sincere" apology

“[I]t would appear that @vp was joking about carrying empty boxes for a staged publicity stunt. The full video reveals that he was carrying full boxes for a staged publicity stunt,” Kimmel wrote. “My apologies. I know how dearly this administration values truth.”
