Is the media blatantly campaigning for Joe Biden? Seems like it.
The exchange between Rep. Nancy Mace and George Stephanopoulos on ABC’s “This Week” highlights a heated confrontation over Mace’s endorsement of former President Trump despite her past as a sexual assault survivor.
Mace accused Stephanopoulos of attempting to shame her for being a rape victim when he questioned her about endorsing Trump despite his legal issues involving allegations of sexual misconduct. Stephanopoulos maintained that his question was about Trump, not Mace personally, but Mace disagreed.
She pointed out that Trump had not been found guilty of rape in a criminal case and criticized Stephanopoulos for what she perceived as bias against her political choices.
The exchange escalated with Stephanopoulos continuing to press Mace on her endorsement of Trump, leading Mace to accuse him of being offensive to rape survivors. She later took to social media to further criticize Stephanopoulos, accusing him of attacking her as a rape victim.
Mace’s response reflects the ongoing tension surrounding discussions of sexual assault allegations and political endorsements, particularly in the context of high-profile figures like Trump and Clinton. The confrontation underscores the complexities of discussing sensitive issues like sexual assault in a political context.
