In a recently unearthed clip, Fox News host Harris Faulkner reacted to the news that President Donald Trump had won a $15 million settlement in a defamation suit from ABC News and woke journalist George Stephanopoulos.

For context, the clip is still relevant because it highlights the lengths the mainstream media will go to slam the president. While this case is far from the first time Trump has been slandered in the media, it does indicate that the tables may be turning and Trump will be able to push back against woke journalists for their lies.

In any case, a prominent MAGA influencer published the clip, which was initially aired on December 15, 2024. The FNC host began her monologue by announcing the results of the case. She stated, “We have breaking news. ABC News and George Stephanopoulos have settled with President-elect Trump in his defamation lawsuit.

Adding additional context, Faulkner described the monetary damages and how the president would use his winnings. She said, “The network agrees to pay $15 million as a charitable contribution to Trump’s presidential library. ABC and Stephanopoulos will also issue statements of regret as an editor’s note to the march 2024article and television segment that prompted Trump to file the lawsuit.”

Concluding her remarks, the anchor described the origins of the suit. Faulkner explained, “Earlier this year, Trump sued Stephanopoulos after he asserted in an interview that Trump was found, quote, liable for rape in a civil case, despite the fact that a jury actually determined Trump was liable for, quote, sexual abuse, which has a distinct definition under New York law.”

Going massively viral, the clip was posted to X by user Jannine.. #MagaMemeQueen, where it gathered over 29,000 likes. She announced, “🚨🚨 Trump wins again! 🚨🚨ABC agrees to pay $15 MILLION in Trump defamation lawsuit! 💯⬇️⬇️🚨🚨🚨🚨,” adding, “I do believe this is an older story but it’s new to me and many others. Point is… IT’S A WIN that I’m adding to the list! 💯”

Celebrating the historic verdict, conservatives left their reactions in the comments under her post. One comment suggested a hilarious way to mock ABC: “I would make a wing in the library to memorialize this moment! And have a huge picture of stephanopalis (sic) and of the Check. You know those sweepstakes checks that are huge and the real one to. Bwhhaaaaaaa!!!!! 🤣😂”

Speculating on the lasting impact of the suit, a social media user wondered, “ABC allegedly has a 200 million dollar war chest to battle lawsuits annually. Make false claims to potentially tip the political scales in hopes to sway an election in your favor, then dole out a few greenbacks on the back end for lying is diabolical.”

Rounding out the comments, several replies noted how well Trump handled himself in this challenging situation. One such comment read, “Any other politician would have pocketed the cash. Donald Trump has it donated to his library. That’s the difference! We just needed a NEW president!” Building on this point, another conservative said, “No democrats would do this for charity, only Trump can do that and feel satisfaction out of it !!! God bless Trump 🙏🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️.”
