Jimmy Kimmel thought he was putting to rest the rumors swirling around Hillary Clinton’s health when he asked her to open a pickle jar on his show earlier this week.
But, as might be expected, the “pickle test” did little to assuage Clinton opponents, who now see Kimmel as a willing participant in the conspiracy to cover up the Democratic nominee’s debilitating ailments.
On last night’s show, Kimmel played for his audience clips from a seven-minute video featuring InfoWars host and, the host said, leading “pickle-gate” proponent Alex Jones dissecting the segment in question and concluding that the entire performance was staged.
The pickle “can” — as Jones refers to it — didn’t “pop,” nor did Clinton open it in a manner consistent with normal opening procedure.
Kimmel proceeded to mock Jones for having too much time on his hands, and went on to “admit” that, indeed, the can-spiracy was uncovered, and now he had no choice but to murder the pickle jar.
“If you’re ever feeling bad about your job,” Kimmel told his viewers, "just remember there’s a grown man who spent a full seven minutes yelling about me and a pickle jar on television."
