Nancy Mace boycotting ABC News because of runin with George
Rep. Nancy Mace said she is done with ABC News after her heated on-air exchange with host George Stephanopoulos.

Rep. Nancy Mace said she is done with ABC News after her heated on-air exchange with host George Stephanopoulos.

“I won’t be going back on ABC anytime soon. I told him as I was walking out, ‘Good effing luck getting me back on,’” the South Carolina Republican told NewsNation’s “On Balance” Monday.

Ms. Mace and Mr. Stephanopoulos, who was a senior adviser to President Clinton, got into a heated back and forth during an interview Sunday. He asked how she could endorse the former president after he was found liable for sexual abuse in the defamation lawsuit brought by advice columnist E. Jean Carroll.

The “This Week” host played a video clip of the Republican congresswoman giving testimony of her experience of being raped before she announced her run for Congress in 2019.

Ms. Mace said Mr. Stephanopoulos was “shaming” her, but he said the question wasn’t meant to shame her, it was a question about Mr. Trump.

“George Stephanopoulos tried to bully me and shame me as a rape survivor over my support for Donald Trump, which is insane to me, because he wasn’t found guilty of rape anywhere,” Ms. Mace said Monday on Fox News.

“He has never felt the shame of rape,” she said of Mr. Stephanopoulos. “He does not know what this journey is like. It’s a journey of healing over a lifetime.”

She told NewsNation that she didn’t know her rape was going to be brought up, only that they were going to talk about the 2024 election.

“So I was all ready to talk about Donald Trump versus Joe Biden and the 2024 race for the general election; the president had just given his State of the Union, you know, all of that I would imagine would have come into a conversation about 2024. But the guy literally led with me being raped. And you can see the pain on my face,” she said.

The Republican congresswoman said she shook Mr. Stephanopoulos‘ hand after the interview, but that it was “very awkward” and he appeared to be “angry.”

“But you know, just giving me the side eye and being very ugly. Just his whole demeanor was nasty. But that’s what these people do. That’s what the far left does,” she said.

The Washington Times has reached out to ABC News for comment.
