Punchlines: Alternative crowd-control facts
Did you know that Jimmy KImmel, not Usain Bolt, is the fastest man in the world? Or that Kimmel was a straight-A student in high school? Those are just a few alternative facts he shared during last night's late-night lineup. Take a look at Punchlines, above, for a few more.
Another fact? Saturday's Women's March was one of the biggest protests against a sitting U.S. president that the world has ever seen. In Washington D.C., the protest crowd was more than three times larger than Friday's Inauguration Day crowd. Then again, the validity of that number may depend on which facts you decide to accept: the ones you can see in photos or the alternative facts provided by White House press secretary Sean Spicer. In his first meeting with members of the news media, he yelled about what the Trump administration called underreporting of inauguration crowd numbers.
White House adviser Kellyanne Conway defended Spicer's "alternative facts," leaving Jimmy Fallon to wonder if she's alternative sober. Take a look in today's Punchlines.
