Jimmy Kimmel Calls Out Mitt Romney's Incorrect National Anthem Statistic





Jimmy Kimmel Calls Out Mitt Romney's Incorrect National Anthem Statistic
First Posted: 02/ 8/2012 9:40 am Updated: 02/ 8/2012 9:40 am

Jimmy Kimmel has had his fair share of fun with Mitt Romney during the campaign, but on Tuesday night's "Jimmy Kimmel Live" he really dug into one of the GOP candidate's more outrageous remarks.

You might remember last week when Romney said Americans are "the only people on earth" who put our hands over our hearts during the national anthem. But that's just not true.

After pointing out that Italy, Japan, Venezuela and many other countries also follow this tradition, Kimmel presented a new campaign ad for Romney that touts even more erroneous "facts" about America. For instance, did you know that only in this great nation do men pee standing up? God bless America.
