Stephanopoulos's Trump Questions Draw Criticism
ABC News Host Under Fire After Interview with Rep. Mace
Stephanopoulos Accused of Insensitivity, Bias
In a heated exchange on ABC's This Week, veteran journalist George Stephanopoulos questioned Republican Representative Nancy Mace about her support for former President Donald Trump. The interview quickly turned contentious, with Stephanopoulos accusing Mace of ignoring Trump's history of sexual assault allegations.
Stephanopoulos's line of questioning was met with swift criticism from Mace and other conservatives. They accused him of being insensitive to victims of sexual assault and biased against Trump.
The exchange began when Stephanopoulos asked Mace how she could support Trump in light of the allegations against him. Mace defended her support, saying that she believed Trump was innocent and that the allegations were politically motivated.
Stephanopoulos then pressed Mace on her own experience as a rape victim. He asked if she could understand why other victims might find it difficult to support Trump.
Mace responded that she was not a "victim" and that she did not want to be defined by her experience. She also accused Stephanopoulos of trying to "make this about me" instead of about Trump.
