Incredible to witness Stephanopoulos go from laughing in the face of then Rep Kieth Ellison in July 2015 when Ellison suggested Trump could win, to now Stephanopoulos kissing Trump’s ring & shelling out $15M rather than defend a factually accurate statement. Cowardly & failed journalism throughout.
If ABC had courage they’d defend their correct statement & let the whole world know the truth that in fact Trump was convicted of rape. Now, they let Trump falsely claim victory & give him motivation to go after every other media outlet that correctly reported the judge’s ruling. Reckless failure. image
BREAKING: ABC has agreed to pay $15 Million to settle a Defamation Suit brought by Trump—even though ABC used the exact language used by the judge in the E. Jean Carroll case where Trump was convicted of rape. This is the cowardice of legacy media out to make profit, rather than uphold principle. Independent voices are more critical than ever.

Whenever I say we should return to 1940-1980 tax levels for the super wealthy (billionaires) of 91%+ marginal tax I hear, "If you do that billionaires will leave America." To which I say two things: 1. Didn't happen last time, won't happen now. 2. Promise? Don't threaten me with a good time. #TaxBillionaires
