TWITTER ADDS 'MANIPULATED MEDIA' LABEL TO JIMMY KIMMEL'S VIDEO OF MIKE PENCE

Pence's press secretary, Katie Miller, said Friday that she "looks forward to getting back to work."

"Thank you all for your prayers and well wishes," Miller wrote on Twitter. "I'm doing well and look forward to getting back to work for the American people."

Comedian Jimmy Kimmel apologized this weekend after misrepresenting a video of Pence delivering boxes of personal protective equipment to a hospital.

Kimmel apologized for sharing the clip on his show after backlash.

"[It] would appear that [Pence] was joking about carrying empty boxes for a staged publicity stunt. The full video reveals that he was carrying full boxes for a staged publicity stunt. My apologies. I know how dearly this administration values truth," he wrote.
