Mace based her argument on two main points: That Trump was not convicted in a criminal trial (as opposed to a civil trial) and that E. Jean Carroll, who has been awarded millions in lawsuits against Trump, deserved condemnation for the way in which she spoke about the money she was awarded.
“She’s joked about it. I find it offensive and I also find it offensive that you are trying to shame me with this question,” Mace said.
Stephanopoulos repeatedly denied attempting to belittle her, saying he was trying to clarify what he saw as an inconsistent position.
“I’m asking a very simple question,” he said at one point, to which she again argued that he was shaming and belittling her. The two went back and forth along those lines for several minutes.
He asked again later: “You don’t find it offensive that Donald Trump has been found liable for rape?”
“I find it offensive that as a rape victim you’re trying to shame me for my political choices and I’ve said again, repeatedly, E. Jean Carroll has made a mockery out of rape by joking about it,” Mace said.
