Fox News host Harris Faulkner quickly fact-checked Donald Trump’s false claims about the 2020 presidential election after a campaign event at Mar-a-Lago.
“At the very beginning, you heard the former president talk about a stolen election. And while he may feel a certain way, the facts remain” Faulkner said on Outnumbered seconds after Trump’s event ended.
“Joe Biden was declared the winner with 51% of the vote,” she continued. “The states certified those results of the 2020 election and Congress accepted those results.”
