Kimmel apologizes for suggesting Pence carried 'empty boxes' to nursing home

Source: The Hill

Late night host Jimmy Kimmel on Friday apologized for sharing a video that made it look like Vice President Pence delivered empty boxes to a nursing home.

"t would appear that @vp was joking about carrying empty boxes for a staged publicity stunt," Kimmel tweeted Friday afternoon. He then apologized while making it clear he still believed the event was "a staged publicity stunt."

"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," Kimmel said.

That's really no apology at all... which is as it should be.

There doesn't appear to be anything natural or sincere or spontaneous about that man. For someone supposedly in a "personal relationship" with the Creator of Life, he seems particularly lifeless.

carrying the empty boxes in for the camera's. Why would that even enter his thought process after they said they were empty?

I know, I know - because he is a blasphemous piece of excrement, like Agent Orange and all that support and allow him to exist!


FDT!!!

Pussy-Grabber and Company have NEVER, NEVER, NEVER apologized for the thousands of fucking lies they've told-- not one time. I am so sick of hearing people apologize for some stupid mistake they made. This is the difference between liberals and repigs. LIberals will bend over backwards saying, "I'm so sorry!" Repigs just buckle down on it and go on. We could learn something from them for once.
