Liberals have been freaking out over President-elect Donald Trump’s appointments to his cabinet. However, Jimmy Kimmel exposed how little some liberals know about Trump’s transition.
In a new edition of “Lie Witness News” on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, a man-on-the-street reporter asked people what they thought about Trump’s cabinet picks. But instead of using their real names, they swapped them for fictional super villains from comic books.
“What do you think about Trump appointing Dr. Otto Octavius as head of the CDC?” asked the reporter subtly referring to the Spider-Man villain Dr. Octopus.
“I do not agree with him,” said one lady.
“Do you think he’ll have all eight of his hands in the pockets of pharmaceutical companies?” the reporter followed up.
“Yes, I do.” the lady replied.
Trump was continuously mocked over the campaign cycle by comedians, entertainers, and even comic book artists. Earlier this year, one Marvel sketch artist drew then-candidate Trump as a super villain.

It seems only fitting that Kimmel used comic book super villains to mock Americans who hate Trump but know nothing about his cabinet appointments.
