Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) is a rape victim. SiriusXM host Megyn Kelly took issue with a line of questioning from ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos over the weekend.
During This Week, Stephanopoulos continually asked Mace about her support for former President Donald Trump — who was found liable for rape against E. Jean Carroll by a New York jury — as she is a rape survivor.
Mace continually dissed the question, arguing that Stephanopoulos was attempting to “shame” her for her political beliefs, with the host insistent that wasn’t his intent.
On The Megyn Kelly Show Monday, Kelly argued the ABC News host should be one of the last people in media to question Nancy Mace about her support of an accused rapist. The SiriusXM host pointed out that George Stephanopoulos, alongside former CNN contributor James Carville, was instrumental in defending President Bill Clinton from sexual misconduct allegations in the 1990s.
“How dare you? She was right. You were out of line. You were offensive. Especially when the your guy, Joe Biden, has been accused of rape as well,” said Kelly. “George, trust me. I know. I interviewed his alleged victim. Maybe you missed it. Because ABC, where you are and were the chief political correspondent, was the only network not to acknowledge or run a single soundbite from our blockbuster interview when it hit and made international headlines.
“I guess Tara Reade, to you, didn’t matter. Like Tonya Harding, and Paula Jones. Just another wrong side-of-the-tracks woman easily dismissed from you and your ivory tower, George,” Kelly continued. “You did ignore her. And then you got rewarded with an exclusive sit down with Joe Biden, whom you undoubtedly went on to vote for. How could you?”
