Jimmy Kimmel, the left-wing host of his late night show on ABC, aired a deceptively cut video that attacked Vice President Mike Pence.
Kimmel: Vice President Is “A Big Box Of Nothing”
On his show on Thursday night, Kimmel showed a clip of Vice President Pence delivering boxes of PPEs to a healthcare facility in Alexandria, Virginia. At the end of the clip, Pence can then be heard saying “well can I carry the empty ones, just for the camera?”

Kimmel leaped onto this, claiming this was all just for show.
“Mike Pence pretending to carry empty boxes of PPE’s 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,” he joked.
The video went viral after it was tweeted out by Matt McDermott, a pollster for Whitman Insight Strategies, who has strong ties to Democrats, and sits on the board of LGBTQ Victory Fund, a PAC that focus on ensuring gay officials are elected.

McDermott went on to further slam the Vice President, saying that this was “Trump’s White House, summarized,” and that there is “no better example of the institutional failures that have happened during this crisis than the Vice President delivering empty boxes of masks to a nursing home before a gawking press.”

More Fake News From The Left!
But as usual when dealing with the mainstream media, this story was completely misleading. Emmanuelle Saliba, an investigative reporter at NBC News, was one of the first to call Kimmel and McDermott out for their deception.
“Edit is misleading. I went back to the original CSpan footage and sounds like the Vice President was making a joke about the empty boxes,” Saliba tweeted. “He doesn’t carry those last boxes. He shuts the van doors and turns to speak to the CEO of Federal Resources.”
Edit is misleading.
I went back to the original @cspan footage and sounds like @VP was making a joke about the empty boxes.
He doesn't carry those last boxes. He shuts the van doors and turns to speak CEO of @fedresources

David Mack, Buzzfeed’s Deputy Director of breaking news, also highlighted the change.

“This isn’t true. The clip cuts out at a selective point,” Mack tweeted. “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.”

Kimmel eventually was forced to offer an apology on Twitter.
“It would appear that the Vice President was joking about carrying empty boxes for a staged publicity stunt,” Kimmel tweeted, remaining sarcastic. “The full video reveals that he was carrying full boxes for a staged publicity stunt. My apologies. I know how dearly this administration values truth.”

Why is it that the left can’t stop lying to the American people? I know why. It’s because they have nothing other than misinformation and lies to back themselves up! If there arguments were solid and reasonable, there would be no need for this at all.

Kimmel is an empty headed, empty suit whose only saleable item is his mouth and even that is truly worthless
jimmy the fruit fly was never funny, ben stein fired him because he tried to put the moves on ben.
What proof is there the boxes were not empty?
Tie him to Chuck The Toad Todd and throw them both into an ocean somewhere. See who drowns who clawing and grasping in a desperate attempt for “Top Billing”.
First few weeks this guy was kinda funny.. now he’s becoming another Letterman.. the dour sarcastic narcissist himself. King of Nasty.
And Kimmel is just what is needed to feed their gullability.
Much of the American public is a bunch of gullible losers.
This from a no talent guy who makes his living doing nothing but publicity stunts and making fun of people. It’s clear from his apology he doesn’t know the truth from made up garbage. There is something very creepy about this guy. I stopped watching on day one when he was urging young ladies to put their hand in his pants. Pathetic POS>
Why doesn’t Jimmy Kimmel ask Obama in regards to how it feels work from home?
GO home and take care of ur baby,wait ,i mean have the baby take care of you since you always cry like a baby.you fraud…………..
Kimmel is on ABC. Probably the WORST of the networks. I should know. I used to work for the swine.
Trash that’s all this man is. I would not want this lying sack of garbage as a father. Feel sorry for any children he may have.
Why, Jimmy Boy, can’t you be honest?
This is business as usual for these left wing fish mongers, always ready with a tall tale, but when looked into it’s nothing but somebody wanting his or her 15 minutes of in the spotlight.. What I don’t get is it’s all out there, ready to refute their lies, one would think they would not keep making these stupid comments only to end up with egg on their faces. I guess you just cain’t fix stupid…
I think he’s a typical Democrat. Cannnot achieve anything on his own merit, has to create a false narrative to try to embolden his public presence and belittle the other guy.
Kimmel is an asshole.
I hired Kimmel to be a comedian Not to act as a political pundit! I am finally through with ”Late Night”.
who’s Jimmy kimmle??
Kimmel stick to the funny. Your a joke it’s as clear as day he didn’t mean it the way you said. Go hang out with your boyfriend Howard and FaceTime each other. Had it with both of you clowns.
We would like to have Kimmel and these hateful Liberals cut down a few pegs! With your hateful behavior you turn us away forever!!
Which reporter was the one who edited the statements of George Zimmerman – The person who had no choice but to kill his attacker.
We all know that you do nothing but lie Kimmel and when you can’t find something to talk about you make something up just like all your lies you’re disgusting I don’t understand why anybody would ever watch you you’re stupid you’re ridiculous
Uhhhhh….. Jimmy who? Jimmy Douchebag.
The left and the Democrats are so stupid it’s unbelievable that you’re still around,if you never listen to the truth and only believe lies and conspiracy theories you will never know anything of course you’re too stupid to ever know anything because all you listen to is CNN and MSNBC which do nothing but tell lies just like Jimmy Kimmel that’s all he does is lie about everything and he’s ignorant and stupid and disgusting and I never watch him never have never will
Jimmy Kimmel is not funny and is a liar, big time! Great apology, huh? Fool!
“The LGBTXYZP (perverts) Victory Fund. What?! For what? Putting your ‘thingy’ in another guys ‘thingy holder’?! And that is a movement and organization! No wonder this clown is so screwed up.
Pence was trying to be a model for community service in others. It is his job as a cheerleader; not a daily worker. I am sure Kimmel would like to have 200 pound longshoremen and teamsters doing it for $80 an hour rather than encouraging volunteers.
Was he there as an essential worker? No. We cannot spare the VP for that. NO! Nor would we WANT him to be. He is not paid to be a delivery man. He is paid to be a LEADER and part of that is to be a CHEERLEADER.
Personally, I would put on a short dress and lead a cheer singing “We are the Champions,” if I thought it would encourage others to keep practicing proper hygiene and engaging productive activities. If we were fighting a flood, I’d be filling sandbags. At 69 as a diabetes and hypertension patient coming out of obesity, the best thing I can do is not be a reservoir for COVID-19.
Blame-Storming Democrats are a drain on society. If you are still watching these fools on TV, you are part of the problem; not the solution. Kimmel is being a political pimp for his party, not a patriot.
Hollyweird trash talking, potty-mouth, no-talent, Trump-hater Kimmel begins his show each night bashing President Trump while his commercial ratings fall 16%.
Hopefully, Kimmel will sink into the TV cellar where he belongs.
This is why I refuse to watch even one minute of his show. He pleasures himself by perpetuating lies.
Jimmy Kimmel. What can you say? He’s been doing things like this for years. How about a
a few sheep in the MSM run some clips of his ‘Man Show’ and highlight his objectification of women. The show ran from 1999 to 2004. I’m sure that there might be a few women that would come forward and tell their stories. He was all for the ‘#MeToo’ movement. Maybe we could learn a few things, although, I bet he had then sign a NDA.
Per Kimmel’s words and highly edited in content and attitude: “I know how dearly this administration values truth.” Well Mr. Kimmel we wish you and the rest of the media valued truth as much as this administration. We would like for all of you to become journalist instead of leftist gossip columnist.
That’s an apology/correction with a left handed slap!!😡
Jimmy Kimmel you are totally irrelevant so nobody cares what you say or how you think so get over yourself, find a real job and stop it with the lies and totally fake news. Vice President Mike Pence is a class act (something you know nothing about)
I do not have the “patience” to listen to Kimmel or the other late night show “LIBERALS” !
Fake News is called Fake News for being the news of bald-faced liars.
The only Fake News I can stomach watching is when someone like Sean Hannity says “Take a look.”
Fortunately, those repulsive segments only exposes me to a few seconds of evil drivel.
What is amazing is when the talking bobbleheads of different Fake News outlets all say the exact same words.
Who is the proverbial “man behind the curtain” who distributes all the script duplicates?
People like Kimmel have no clue about the future, they are trying to run Trump out of office and put their Commie Liberal buddies in charge. Wait till they sell us out to China he will be not be working any more and will be in prison if he says stuff like this about the new Communist leaders. He won’t have any freedom of speech.
The term bichass tool comes to mind.
; What is in the “Grape Flavor Aid” in Hollywood?
Hollywood = “Jonestown”.
I’ve never watched the guy. Never will!
have never watched Kimmel’s show and never will. another liberal media outlet spewing hatred.
and the intellectually challenged will just add this to their “trump lies all the time. at least 15,000 times and counting”. (even though it wasn’t President Trump saying it)
Oh Jimmy your so funny with bashing the President and vice president every night for the last almost four years .Your so cool Jimmy and orignal there’s only about 10 of you late night hacks doing the same jokes over and over and over. People hang on to your every word can’t figure why your ratings are in the toilet.But then again that’s where an egotistical POS belongs .You and the rest of your hypocritical Hollywood ME Too But Not You crowd.
I never signed up for “The Political Insider” and after reading the content designed to promote a one sided analysis of all things the the left, I will certainly drop it. Sadly, reinforcing an entrenched belief does not give insight, but often creates distrust and ultimately hate. Is this the type of discourse even remotely healthy mentally or physically?
Who is dumb enough to believe the democRATic propaganda machine media?
empty boxes or not.Why does’ nt he still wear a mask—not for his sake ,but those who surround him.you know what the libs will make of this.
how many boxes did kimmel carry, full or empty.
Seems funny what America calls intelligence on the left , full pockets , and empty head !
I guess your mentality, leaves you proud of your power to manipulate the truth to deceive your audience and distort the truth for ‘comedy’.
Your day of truth shall come as will all of ours.
Way to go, Kimmel ! Nobody could possibly call you the true type of lying drek you show yourself to be !
What are you gonna do when your audience graduates and leaves for High School ?
Maybe you can rent a Punch & Judy booth, huh ?
To get to know the REAL Jimmy Kimmel all you need to do is watch only a couple of cuts of his antics on “The Man Show.” He’s a misogynistic waste of space. Why he should garner any of the spotlight in this forum is the real news.
They will say anything to change the narrative,because they know that Barr is after them.
