Lie Witness News - MLK Day Edition

In honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, we went out on the street to ask people what they thought about Dr. King endorsing Donald Trump for President. Obviously that did not happen, but that didn’t stop a number of individuals from weighing in in this MLK Day edition of #LieWitnessNews.

[stephy]

Please tell me this is fake. This is embarrassing.

[Daniblik]

I refuse to believe this isn't scripted

[chazhinkley]

As a British person I would like to say, this is what you get for kicking us out.

[sageblue]

this cant be real!! somebody edited this!

[UGK]

The hell is that Martha's Vineyard lady goin on about?

[MrSideswipe]

This is why the other nations are beating us.

[magno]

I love Martin Luther King. He gave me a day off. I love Jesus too. He gave me a week off.

[AyngeMackay]

You should have to pass a test to vote. OMG

[LenkaTim]

2:06 (on the left) "LOOK FREE FOOD"

[SuperCeasar]

am I the only one looking at this, and feeling ashamed to be an American right now

[notmedude]

The more I know about America the less I want to know any Americans.

[emilydecker]

I'd like to see an accumulation of clips where people recognized the lie

[shadowwwq]

1:45 He literally says MLK is dead and that dude doesn’t even really listen lmao

[maryhough]

That man with the chargers shirt was HILARIOUS!! 😂😂😂

[coffeelawyer]

I think this is fake because Malcolm X hasn't played golf in Martha's Vineyard since he became a member of Augusta National.

[ZDubsMGS]

These people are the reason that my answer will always be "yes" when someone asks me if I want another beer. We're doomed. Enjoy it while you can.

[mariewatson]

I love this! I'm sure there are easy explanations. A lot of people probably thought they were talking about MLK's son, but either way it's really funny to see these types of thing happen. I can't guarantee that there isn't something I would slip up about myself.

[mikaylalamondie]

my birthday was on MLK day and I loved it!

[ilovesparky]

"What do you think about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. endorsing Donald Trump for president?"

If someone asked me this, I would assume that he was talking about some hypothetical scenario where MLK was alive. That particular question was poorly worded. But the other question though...there's no excuse.

If you ask enough people, you will eventually find someone who will respond the way you hoped.
