"A deceptively edited video of Mike Pence is making the rounds, so it’s time for a fact check: No, the Vice President did not deliver empty boxes of protective equipment to a Virginia health care center on Thursday.

Any claim to the contrary is fake news spread by people unwilling to do a little research. That includes Jimmy Kimmel, who during his show on Thursday played a 40-second video clip purportedly showing Pence, who had a hot mic on, grabbing a couple of boxes only to be told that they were empty. “Well, can I carry the empty ones? Just for the camera?” Pence replies.

And then the clip, which has garnered millions of views, ends there."
