by The Right Scoop

ABC’s George Stephanopoulos got shredded this morning by Rep. Nancy Mace after he asked her how she could square her endorsement of Trump with the news that a civil jury found Trump ‘liable’ for rape and defamation.

Mace was raped as a 16-year-old and made this public about five years ago. Stephanopoulos new that, which is why he was asking her this question. She didn’t hold back in going after him for it:

Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., accused ABC’s George Stephanopoulos of trying to “shame” her for endorsing former President Trump in a contentious interview Sunday.

“You’ve endorsed Donald Trump for president,” Stephanopoulos said to Mace on ABC’s “This Week.”

“Judges and two separate juries have found him liable for rape and for defaming the victim of that rape,” the anchor told Mace. “How do you square your endorsement of Donald Trump with the testimony we just saw?”

“Well, I will tell you, I was raped at the age of 16,” Mace said. “Any rape victim will tell you, I’ve lived for 30 years with an incredible amount of shame for being raped. I didn’t come forward because of that judgment and shame that I felt.”

“It’s a shame that you will never feel, George,” she said, addressing the anchor directly.

“I’m not going to sit here on your show and be asked a question meant to shame me about another potential rape victim,” Mace said. “I’m not going to do that.”

“It’s actually not about shaming you,” Stephanopoulos said, arguing that his question was about the allegations of rape against Trump in the E. Jean Carroll case. Carroll is a former columnist who alleges that Trump raped her in a New York City department store dressing room in the 1990s.

“It’s not a criminal court case, No. 1,” Mace said in return. “No. 2, I live with shame. And you’re asking me a question about my political choices trying to shame me as a rape victim and I find it disgusting.”

“And quite frankly, E. Jean Carroll’s comments when she did get the judgment,’ Mace continued, “joking about what she was going to buy, makes it harder for women to come forward when they make a mockery of rape. When they joke about it. It’s not okay.”

“She’s joked about it,” Mace said of Carroll’s comments. “I find it offensive, and I also find it offensive that you are trying to shame me with this question.”

Here’s a few responses to Stephanopoulos trying to shame her:
