CNN anchor Casey Hunt defends Rep. Nancy Mace (R.S.) over her virus controversy with George Stephanopoulos.
On Sunday, Stephanopoulos used the fact that Mace is a rape victim to question his political support for Donald Trump. Implicit in his question was that Mace’s support for Trump was inconsistent with his experience as a rape victim, since a civil jury found him responsible for sexual abuse. was. The jury did not find Stephanopoulos liable for the rape, despite his repeated claims.
On Monday, Hunt asked fellow CNN host Michael Smerconish about the debate. However, he admonished Mace for allegedly failing to answer Stephanopoulos’ questions.
“I sympathize with her as a rape victim, but despite the fact that she is a rape victim, she still answers his questions, how can you feel safe and support him?” should have answered,” Smerconish said.
But Mr Hunt disagreed. In fact, she explained why Mace objected to Stephanopoulos’ question, pointing out that the premise was problematic.
“But what bothers me here, and I think this is what she was trying to say, is that just because she happens to be a rape victim, she doesn’t have to define that victimhood. “She and her future choices are about how she should feel about the person who committed such a crime, regardless of what other people think,” Hunt explained.
“Do you think it’s okay to give a rapist that kind of power over her future life?” she asked rhetorically.
And when Mr. Smerkonish defended Stephanopoulos’ question as “totally appropriate,” Mr. Hunt hit back again.
“Well, I mean, I think it’s just the fact that it was written in those terms. Like, as a rape victim, how can you do that?” she said.
Mace confirmed Monday that he will not be returning to ABC News in the near future.
“I’m not going back to ABC anytime soon, I said.” [Stephanopoulos] When I left, I said, “It’s good to be back,” Mace said. said in an interview At NewsNation.
