Megyn Kelly DESTROYS 'hypocrite' George Stephanopoulos over 'rape shaming' Republican Nancy Mace

Megyn Kelly has slammed George Stephanopoulos as a hypocrite and accused him of 'rape shaming' Republican Rep. Nancy Mace despite serving as Bill Clinton's 'attack dog' against sex assault accusers.

Stephanopoulos on Sunday grilled Mace over how she could support Donald Trump after he was found liable for sexual assault, despite herself being a rape victim.

The South Carolina Rep. hit back at the ABC anchor: 'As a rape victim, who's been shamed for years now because of her rape. You're trying to shame me again.'

Kelly ripped Stephanopoulos saying he should get the 'Oscar for Sanctimonious Leftists Pretending They are Better Than You'.

She referred to Stephanopoulos' role as communications director in the Clinton White House, claiming that he 'created a whole command center designed to smear Bill Clinton’s sexual assault and rape accusers.'

'You're trying to shame me for my political choice,' Mace told Stephanopoulos. 'It was not a criminal court'

Kelly said victims of sexual abuse often do not come forward because they fear the social and professional repercussions.

'That is a very real concern. It happens all the time. Which you know. Because you invented it. Remember? When you created a whole command center designed to smear Bill Clinton’s sexual assault and rape accusers so you could elevate him to the presidency!' Kelly told her Sirius XM podcast viewers.

'The lifelong Democrat took to his Sunday show yesterday and decided to really press Republican and Trump-endorser Nancy Mace on how on earth she can support a guy who’s been found liable of sexual assault, especially when – as he pointed out to Mace – she is a rape survivor!' Kelly said on Monday.

'It’s such an opportunity when you can use a woman’s rape against her!... What a kind, sensitive man who clearly cares deeply about women and their sexual assault allegations. 

'Thank you for being an ally, George. I see how concerned you are that victims might not come forward if they are publicly attacked by their rapist or his defenders.'

Kelly then went on to reference Stephanopoulos's time working for Clinton.

She said: 'The attorney representing many of Bill’s accusers – and there were many, George - said you and James Carville – at Hillary Clinton’s direction – formed a so-called “War Room” whose purpose was “to destroy any woman that would challenge Bill Clinton…” You know the war room – they made a whole movie about it.'

The 1993 documentary, The War Room, follows Clinton's '92 presidential campaign and particularly Stephanopoulos and James Carville. 

Mace was raped when she was 16 years old and says it is what drives her to be an advocate for women's issues.

The clip generated blowback for Stephanopoulos on social media, but ABC is standing by him. 

'George did his job by asking meaningful questions that are relevant to our viewers,' an ABC spokesperson told DailyMail.com. 

Trump was ordered to pay $83.3 million for defamation after he publicly denied sexually abusing E. Jean Carroll in a department store dressing room in 1996.

Republican Rep. Nancy Mace accused Stephanopoulos of trying to 'shame' and 'bully' her as the ABC anchor tried to press her on why she endorsed former President Donald Trump after he was found liable for sexual abuse

Jurors had deliberated for less than three hours following a two-week civil trial in which the former president testified for just three minutes.

The case centered on comments Trump made about Carroll in 2019 after she accused him of attacking her in a dressing room at the Bergdorf Goodman store in New York nearly three decades ago.

In May a jury had found Trump liable of sexual abuse.

Mace, who once said she wanted to get punched by January 6 rioters so she could be the face of 'anti-Trump,' did an about-face in January and endorsed Trump over her longtime friend Nikki Haley.

'His entire legacy, was wiped out yesterday,' Mace had said on January 7, 2021. 'Trump’s record in his first term should tell every American how vital it is he be returned to office,' she said on January 22, 2024.

Trump previously endorsed primary challenger Katie Arrington against Mace in the 2022 cycle but has since gone on to support Mace.

During a rally in South Carolina that year, Trump called Mace 'crazy' and a 'terrible person.'
