Watch people attack Hillary Clinton for dishonesty — while lying through their teeth



Jimmy Kimmel's "Lie Witness News" took to the streets to ask people about the approximately 160 previously unreleased Clinton emails this week. The show, of course, totally made up what was actually in the rather bland emails -- saying Clinton was responding to spam from Nigerian princes and asking Vladimir Putin for shirtless pictures, for instance. But that didn't stop these people from describing how they had read about these non-existent emails and berating Clinton over them.

The best part? The interviewer gets almost all of these liars to attack Clinton for her lack of honesty.

"All she does is lie," says one, who said he had just read about Clinton sending herself Edible Arrangements to make other women in the secretary of state's office jealous.

"But you don't [lie]?" the interviewer asks.

"I don't, no. Never," The man responds.

"You saw that email about the Edible Arrangements?"

"Yeah, I did."

This is just to make it look like people don't understand when they're being lied to. It really isn't a vast right wing conspiracy.

This is a series that he does, and there have not been any 'leaks' indicating that they ever use actors.

Wanting something to be fake doesn't make it fake.

I have no problem believing they're real people spewing their real people nonsense.

I learned the hard way about posting anything positive about Hillary on my FB page, and I've unfollowed many who post these sorts of things about Hillary.

I have several old friends from high school that are enthusiastic Trump supporters, and they occasionally post anti-Hillary stuff, it's usually the kind of crap these people in the interviews were ignorantly spouting off about, but they mostly post pro-trump stuff. So I haven't insolated myself from it in any way.

I've unfollowed some folks, but that was quite a while ago.
