Comedian Tyler Fischer posed as a reporter for BBC in New York City asking everyday citizens how they felt about Hillary Clinton dropping out of the Presidential elections. Of course, the report was bogus but that didn’t stop many folks from buying it hook, line, and sinker.
“She just dropped out, announced about five minutes ago,” Fischer told one woman, who — clearly in shock — replied, “Oh, my God.”
“No! You’re kidding. I’ll kill myself,” another woman responded.
The Blaze reported that another claimed to have predicted it: “I knew it was gonna happen — after that thing when she had that seizure.”
“There goes another assassination,” one passerby told the comedian. “God help us,” said another.
One group of people — seemingly thrilled at the news Clinton had suspending her campaign — asked Fischer if the former secretary of state was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. He told one woman Clinton actually has the Zika virus and another that she has the bird flu.
Fischer also asked one man if he was “surprised” by fake news that Clinton was sexting disgraced former Rep. Anthony Weiner.
“What’s good for the goose should be good for the gander,” he said.

Unfortunately, there was no truth to the claim but it is a nice thought. With the elections approaching so fast and so much at stake, it’s nice to have a good laugh about it all.
