Trump attorney Alina Habba had an interview on Fox News on Friday, and the internet has been having fun with the lawyer's phrasing.

Habba, who represented Trump in the civil fraud case that ended with the former president facing an order to pay hundreds of millions of dollars, was asked on Newsmax about her "reaction" to the ruling. She said to the friendly interviewer: "That's a loaded question."

She went on to criticize New York Attorney General Letitia James, who wrote a poem on Valentine's Day which many said was directed at Trump.

Habba went on to say some things that stood out to social media users and political onlookers. For example, she said, "I want to say something different than I normally do. We have the order now, and I am free to speak." She added, "They will not get away with it. We will come at them. We will come hard."

"Alina, ma’am, please, I beg of you … check your wording next time," said national security attorney Bradley Moss.

Former RNC Chairman Michael Steele said, "You may wanna see your doctor about that."

A commenter with the name of "Renegade Cowboy" also chimed in: "Sounds like her bio in OnlyFans."

Political strategist Cheri Jacobus simply posted a GIF image with a woman putting her hands on her face.

Lincoln Project veterans affairs adviser Fred Wellman had a slightly different take: "Oh lord...I've never been less intimidated. If history is any judge you will manage to get the penalties doubled."

In a separate instance, Habba said her strategy is to "make a record even when they try and gag us."

"Alina, please, the words… you’re killing me," Moss added.
