PDJT scored a massive legal victory over fake news and in particular George Stephanopoulos. ABC has agreed to pay $16 million to settle a defamation suit that PDJT initiated after Stephanopoulos claimed Trump was “found liable for r*pe” by a Manhattan jury in the E. Jean Carroll case. The corrupt leftist jury found Trump liable for defaming certified nut E. Jean Carroll, not for r*pe. Stephanopoulos made this libelous claim ten times during his interview with Nancy Mace (R-SC).
$15 million will be donated to “a Presidential Foundation and Museum” established by president-elect Trump. The remaining $1 million will be paid for Trump’s legal fees.
ABC News staff are freaked out over the settlement. This is particularly difficult for these people since many staffers have experienced multiple budget cuts and compensation reductions in recent years. Multiple layoffs are another factor in their anger.
Some of those elitists, who have yet to emerge from their fantasy bubble, called this settlement “bending the knee.”
Wow. Feels like one more mainstream news organization bending the knee. https://t.co/VqQo8WGyo0

Others inside the bubble could not understand why ABC did this. Apparently being held to account for defaming someone was not within their realm of understanding. They still just don’t get that they are the ones in the wrong. They lie, they distort, they attack, they propagandize. And they see nothing wrong in what they are doing.
The big Q about the Trump-ABC settlement: Why did ABC agree to pay and apologize? The network won't say. It could have kept fighting in court, but decided to pay $$ to end the dispute and make the case go away. (A common move, but with an unusual plaintiff, the president-elect.) pic.twitter.com/nwKKpQy51c

The tears and entreaties from these out of touch leftists are wonders to be enjoyed.
