Lie Witness News - Christopher Columbus Supreme Court Edition

Columbus is one of the historical figures we learn the most about in elementary school. There's a lot going on in the country now, so we decided to combine two of the big stories. We went on the street and asked people what they thought about Trump's decision to put Christopher Columbus on the Supreme Court. Christopher Columbus has been dead for about 500 years, but did that stop people from having opinions on whether or not he should serve on the highest court in the land? Of course not. #LieWitnessNews

I'll never be able to separate my palm from my face after this

[fidorover]

In terms of pure soul, it's gonna be hard for any future judge to top former justices
Diana Ross and the Supremes.

[EricJA]

I love this country but you won’t find intelligence here.

[christopherarias]

Marco polo is more relevant than Columbus.

😂😂😂😂😂😂As a History teacher I laughed so hard and then I realized the seriousness of the situation. The Italian seafarer died over 500 years ago. Then I wondered to myself why is he being celebrated??

Are they paying people to play dumb???

[BrickFilmsCinema]

If it wasn't a giveaway from the walk of fame in the background, you know Kimmel's show was filmed in California based on the answers given.

[BigChungus-oizm]

When you forget to study so you have to invent up stuff for the presentation.

[sg-dfpz]

[krazekicks]

The ignorance of these answers will haunt me for a while
