Some people are more litigious than others. Donald Trump is a litigious person. That fact is well-known.
ABC News and George Stephanopoulos are being sued by Trump and it is delicious. Stephanopoulos is the host of ABC’s This Week on Sunday mornings. A couple of weeks ago, Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) was a guest on the show. Mace endorsed Trump in the 2024 general election. Stephanopoulos tried to shame Mace for the endorsement, given that she’s a rape victim. She was raped at the age of 16.
Nancy Mace destroyed George Stephanopoulos.
During their back-and-forth argument, Stephanopoulos kept inserting Trump’s legal battle with E. Jean Carroll, the woman who accused Trump of rape from an incident over 30 years ago in a retail store in Manhattan. Carroll conveniently found the nerve to bring the alleged assault forward, though it was outside the statute of limitations, thanks to the support of a NeverTrump Republican, George Conway. Conway, the former husband of Kellyanne Conway, met E. Jean Carroll in 2019 at a party and encouraged her to sue Trump. He walked her through the legal process (he’s a lawyer) on his iPad, according to reports, and followed up with an email that included a recommendation of the attorney she hired.
Trump was found guilty of sexual assault of Carroll by a jury, not of rape. He was also found guilty of defaming her. The key here is that Trump was not found guilty of rape.
Stephanopoulos repeatedly said that Trump was found guilty of rape and Nancy Mace pushed back to correct him. She said it was a case of sexual assault, not rape, with Trump. Nonetheless, Stephanopoulos persisted.
“You endorsed Donald Trump for president. Judges and two separate juries have found him liable for rape and for defaming the victim of that rape.
