Rush Limbaugh thinks that there are two separate videos of Hillary Clinton stumbling into her car — but one of them is a fake.
Limbaugh came upon this idea apparently because the radio host does not understand that, often, pirated videos will appear on YouTube having been mirrored, or flipped, from the original source.
Limbaugh said:
In the first video, the van approaches from the left. So what they want you to believe is that they’ve simply flipped this to show you a new angle. But you can’t flip the video. I mean, you can play a video backwards, forwards, but it doesn’t change the angle you’re looking at. The footage is identical.
The second video purports to show a new angle. And this new angle shows Hillary in even greater distress, or I should say gives you a better view of the distress, than the first video. But what is intriguing to me is that nobody seems to have noticed that it can’t be the same video. How can, in one video, the van approach from the left and the door on the right side of the van open and Mrs. Clinton gets in. In the next video, same setting, but the van approaches from the right with the street being on the left of it. And then the door opens in the van, which would be the left side of the van and then Mrs. Clinton gets in.
And all of the people in the video appear to be properly placed, and they appear to be reversed, lapel pins are on the opposite lapel in the second video. It’s a really great trick, but the second video can’t be — one of the two can’t be real.

Is that ol wind bag still on the air?
I think Rush Limbaugh is fake.
OMG. Did Rush really say that today?
Oh boy...
Rush has been paid off by Soros.
He is a traitor
I think this one might have been tinkered with: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bbAJsFc_d_A&feature=youtu.be
A bait and switch to get the sleazeball kaine in?
Yes, in the first video, the people are right-haded. In the second video, the people are left handed...
Obviously “mirrored” is not a term Limbaugh understands. Wonder what he thinks of a left hand wing when compared to the right?
I heard him talk about this. I think he was saying the video couldn’t have been flipped like a picture can be, but I don’t know enough about it to disagree. The first video was bad, so why make a fake?
You’re Right!
Also, one video is filmed on an east-bound street, and the other on a west-bound street.
This is nuts, and I’m really surprised.
Everybody has seen ‘flipped’ videos. The differences in the ‘views’ we see of the Hilary video are just due to flipping, and cropping, and moving in on detail.
Hmmm...Mr. Positive comment. </sarc>
...he’ll get emails explaining why he’s wrong
The headline is irresponsible. Since it deliberately doesn’t state that he said that ONE of TWO videos is fake, the headline chooses to mislead.
I don’t know if the video is a fake. I do think Rush is.
Rush, shut up. When you enemy is commiting suicide, stay out of the way.

Good gravy people. Reading his words I instantly know he understands the video was mirrored. He is expressing this by saying it was “faked” in the sense that it was not really a different video...as some people had presented it as a new video with a better angle....but the same video mirrored.
That is not what he said. He said it was a reversed image video someone made so they could sell the new video as a different view. He called it a hoax. Why are you saying this? Check the transcript.
