In a nearly six-minute, explosive on-air exchange on ABC's 'This Week', Representative Nancy Mace clashed with host George Stephanopoulos over her endorsement of Donald Trump, despite a civil judgment finding him liable for rape and defamation of the victim. Mace, a rape victim herself, accused Stephanopoulos, whom she labeled a 'Clinton crony turned fake journalist', of trying to shame her with his line of questioning about her support for Trump given her advocacy against the culture of silence around rape. Stephanopoulos questioned how Mace could support Trump, emphasizing the distinction between civil and criminal trials. The debate has sparked discussions on social media, with various commentators weighing in. Some accused Stephanopoulos of hypocrisy, referencing his past association with Bill Clinton, while others criticized Mace for her defense of Trump and her attempt to shame the victim in the case, with mentions of E. Jean Carroll's controversial statement that 'rape is sexy'.
Rep. Nancy Mace eviscerates ABC’s George Stephanopoulos after he asks, “As a rape victim... how can you endorse Trump?” “You're asking me a question about my political choices, trying to shame me as a rape victim. And I find it disgusting,” said Mace. https://t.co/rvCXJ4Z6rp
Coming from someone who worked so closely with the Chief Rapist and his enabling wife who shamed his victims - the Clintons Does @GStephanopoulos have any right to question her integrity? And what about Biden supporters who are also supporting a rapist only @ReadeAlexandra has… https://t.co/s9AkInnx54

Imagine if @brithume or @BretBaier at Fox pulled something like this interviewing a Democratic lawmaker who was raped?!?! And neither are political activists like @GStephanopoulos, whose former boss and still friend @BillClinton has been credibly accused of multiple rapes. https://t.co/xvsIMixLjn
Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) was unable to offer a coherent defense for Donald Trump in light of a civil judgment that found him liable for rape, so in lieu of one, she tried to turn the tables against George Stephanopoulos in an explosive on-air exchange. https://t.co/OCqmqkuAAt

Attack the questioner...that's an easy...ok, so now some of your silo thinks he is a bad person. now, answer the question: how do you say you are about a victim issue when you support a man who has committed the exact offenses you are against? https://t.co/Iiqh82hXQC
Congresswoman Nancy Mace thinks it’s “disgusting” she is been asked about her endorsement of a rapist for president, because she was raped at the age of 16. You can’t make this sh*t up. https://t.co/WENJ0c5294
Remember when E Jean Carroll @ejeancarroll said “rape is sexy” ? @NancyMace Talk about hypocrisy, @GStephanopoulos! Even Anderson Cooper @andersoncooper was sitting there like, “this is one crazy bitch”. https://t.co/S58uDF095F https://t.co/TEZQN5gzfk
Nancy Mace: If you want to defend E. Jean Carroll, who made a mockery out of rape, then you do that. Stephanopoulos: Well, actually what you're doing is defending a man who has been found liable for rape. I don't understand how you can do that. @atrupar https://t.co/QnxULiu6rz

🚨George Stephanopoulos asks Nancy Mace, a victim of rape, and someone who has spoken out about the culture of silence about rape, how she can support Trump, a rapist who supports the silencing of rape victims. Mace appears shook by the question. https://t.co/vWMsG8fpMA
Mace (ineffectively) tried to shame rape victim Carroll, while (utterly disingenuously) accusing Stephanopoulos of shaming her. It was a, therefore, a quite typical Nancy Mace TV appearance https://t.co/tyFko9pZbh
George was obviously not trying to shame Nancy Mace, who showed once again that she is say-anything shameless https://t.co/MJbOGqDLVL
George Stephanopoulos: Why are you supporting someone who has been find liable for rape? Nancy Mace: He was not found guilty in a criminal court of law. *Mace is making a legal distinction between civil and criminal trials. Trump is a rapist nonetheless. https://t.co/ofZiLKHmUG
Wow -- Nancy Mace gets mad when George Stephanopoulos asks her how she can support Trump despite claiming to care about rape victims. "You are trying to shame me this morning, and I think it's disgusting," she says. But Stephanopoulos holds his ground! https://t.co/JSMOpduIwT
Watch @NancyMace stand up to @GStephanopoulos of @abcnews here, but note also that Stephanopoulos is lying about Trump being found "liable for rape." The jury did NOT find Trump liable for rape. So he's lying, as well as shaming her. https://t.co/DVdtl9MAzj via @BreitbartNews
I was brought on to talk about 2024…instead Clinton crony turned fake journalist @Gstephanopoulos attacked me and tried to shame me as a rape victim. Gross. @ThisWeekABC https://t.co/9uNhypsZdO
Shame, shame, shame: Nancy Mace spars with George Stephanopoulos https://t.co/dy9To53g0F
ABC’s @GStephanopoulos: “You’ve endorsed Trump.” He’s “been found liable for rape.” He’s “been found liable for defaming the victim.” @RepNancyMace: “You’re asking me a question about my political choices trying to shame me as a rape victim and I find it disgusting.” #ThisWeek https://t.co/JIn0OCnGrg
