Fact Check: 

Vice President Kamala Harris delivered a concession speech after rival former President Donald Trump won against her in the 2024 presidential election, according to CBS News. Harris gave a concession speech to supporters at Howard University in Washington, D.C., telling them to continue “the fight that fueled this campaign,” the outlet reported.

An X image appears to show a CNN article saying that 75,000 counted votes were write-ins for hawk/talk tuah. The post shared a photo of the alleged report that features a photo of Haliey Welch, the woman who became a meme after saying “hawk tuah” during an interview.

“Over 75,000 of the counted votes were write-ins for ‘Hawk Tuah’ and ‘Talk Tuah,’” the headline reads. The article is attributed to Stephen Collinson and says it was posted on Nov. 6, 2024.

This image is digitally fabricated. No such article appears on CNN’s website or on any of its social media accounts. It also cannot be found on Collison’s author page.  

“This post is completely fake, fabricated on social media,” a CNN spokesperson told Check Your Fact via email. “No such story, no such reporting on CNN.” (RELATED: No, CNN Did Not Air Poll Results Showing Harris Ahead Of Trump By Six Points In Texas)

“Talk Tuah” is the name of the podcast hosted by Haliey Welch, also known as the “Hawk Tuah girl,” according to Newsweek. She went viral for making a “hawk tuah” sound to imitate a sex act during a street interview, the outlet reported.
