YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

An MSNBC host said ABC News anchor George Stephanopoulos’ comments that led President-elect Donald Trump to file a defamation lawsuit against the Disney-owned network “seems to hold up” — despite the fact that the company agreed to pay $15 million to settle the claim.

Symone Sanders-Townsend, host of Sunday’s “The Weekend” talk show on Comcast’s left-leaning cable channel, said ABC News paying the settlement “feels like it has a real chilling effect.”

Sanders-Townsend, a former spokesperson for the Biden White House, said during the broadcast that “what Stephanopoulos said” about Trump being liable for rape “seems to hold up [with] what the judge said after the fact…” Her comments were reported by Mediaite.

She noted that Stephanopoulos is paying $1 million of his own money to Trump’s attorney Alejandro Brito while ABC News is paying $15 million.
