all right let's bring back Congresswoman Nancy mace we're going to do it by the cell phone this time because I really want to talk to her and be able to hear her we had some technical difficulties earlier congresswoman thank you so very much well as you know thank you Harris a lot of coverage of this particular exchange with another anchor yesterday let's watch you've Endor Donald Trump for president uh judges and two separate juries have found him liable for rape how do you square your endorsem
ent of Donald Trump with a test money we just saw I was raped at the age of 16 and I'm not going to sit here on your show and be asked a question meant to shame me about another uh potential rape victim it's actually not about shaming you it's a question about Donal shaming women won't come forward because they're defamed by those who perpetrate rape Donald TR they are judged and they're shamed what you're doing is defending a man who's been found liable for rape I don't understand how you can d
o that not in a criminal court of law this was a civil judgment over sexual abuse I mean that was UN un believable first of all what was that like to sit there and be questioned that way and and what did you say what you wanted to say well well no I was so shocked and dismayed by the line of questioning 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 uh anywhere but the other thi
ng is that George Stephanopoulos he doesn't he he has never felt the shame of rap he does not know what this journey is like it's a journey of healing over a lifetime and I will tell you I've been built for tough I've been through some very tough things including the Citadel The Citadel made me tougher than I've ever been that guy playing Mr tough guy yesterday he would not last 30 seconds at the Citadel the Military College of South Carolina he has no clue what he's talking about what was it th
at do you think brought about the back and forth I mean you seem to Signal enough with your body l language and your words that this you felt bullied at that moment and then you spoke the words stop shaming me yeah I did that's that's why women won't come forward when they are assaulted is because of the judgment and the shame and here he was judging me bullying me and shaming me as a rape victim for my political choices and it's wrong but it's almost like rape is bad unless you're a Republican
and then we're going to shame you for it and the way that the left reacted it's just a reflection of how bad Joe Biden's numbers are that this is what they do to rape survivors to rape victims this to shame them for their for their political choices here and you know I said my piece I thought I did it very I did it more respectfully than I should have than I probably wanted to but it was horrifying and you could see at the very beginning of that interview I went you can see my facial expression
because I was there to talk about 20124 I wasn't brought on to talk about my own rape I didn't agree to any of that and he shares the speech I gave imp passion speech five years ago about telling my story for the first time it's very difficult for me to watch that speech it's painful and you can see it on my face and I was in dismay that this is where he was going with this it was disgusting it takes I want to know what AB I want to know what ABC's female leadership what do they think about what
he did I mean they've got female presidents what do they think about what he did yesterday that's an excellent question and and about those women who may have been victims as well how they saw you in that moment standing tough you said you were built for tough you you certainly are and I know it's a lifetime of of healing for you but along this route just know you have a lot of support as a victim uh I appreciate you being tough in those moments thank you Congresswoman Nancy thank you thank you
Harris that means a lot thank you
