Nancy Mace claimed that she was being “shamed” as rape victim when George Stephanopoulos asked her how she could support Donald Trump after seeing the result of the E Jean Carroll lawsuit. But Stephanopoulos made no reference to Mace’s personal history in either his question or the subsequent argument. If he was “shaming” her it was for her support of someone found to be a rapist (albeit only in a civil trial where the criterion for proof is just on a “balance of probabilities” rather than to the “beyond reasonable doubt” standard of a criminal conviction). And any shaming of victims was by Mace herself when she belittled Carroll’s complaint on the grounds that she had been unexpectedly pleased that the amount of punitive damages awarded was vastly greater than what she had claimed as actual damages.
