This is one of those social media ‘things’ where you look at and think to yourself, ‘This is just so sh*tty.’
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:
Mike Pence caught on hot mic delivering empty boxes of PPE for a PR stunt. pic.twitter.com/IduvGhiPwj

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.
But naaah, it was more fun to pretend Pence only did this for a photo op.
Of course @RadioFreeTom just RT'ed this demonstrably untrue & deceptively edited video. If you watch the full clip, you see that Pence delivers many full boxes of PPE. His quip at ~9 minutes in is clearly a joke, and he shuts the van doors right after.https://t.co/JMMz7nEVit pic.twitter.com/d6zQntZLbT

Of course, he did.
Like his buddy Rick Wilson, Tom has had a rough couple of days.
The upcoming windmill dunk on this from @realDonaldTrump is so predictable – congrats to Kimmel & every blind partisan retweeting this deceptive nonsense for the alley-oop assist.

You know they were SO EXCITED to see this.
To believe this.
Sad, small, little people they are.
Here's an unedited version of @VP Pence delivering PPE to Woodbine Rehab Center. The clip from @JimmyKimmel and sent viral by @mattmfm & others is quite deceptive. Pence is clearly joking when he talks about empty boxes for the camera, & shuts the van doors right after the quip. pic.twitter.com/HyV8iBiljS
— JERRY DUNLEAVY (@JerryDunleavy) May 8, 2020
And the media wonder why people hate them.
This clip from @JimmyKimmel (and tweet from a Democratic pollster) is an absolute lie. Pence brought in full boxes, then made a joke after about the empty boxes, which he didn’t carry in. This has 17,000+ RTs. And is a complete lie.

Julio Rosas was good enough to compile screenshots of media troglodytes pushing this garbage:

"Here's some fake news about Trump/Pence to spread around and get thousands of likes and retweets."

Exactly.

Kimmel tried deleting it.
Nice try, chump.
