Mace to Stephanopoulos: 'I live with shame'

On March 10, 2024, during an appearance on ABC's This Week, Mace responded to host George Stephanopoulos pressing her on her endorsement of Donald Trump in light of her public rape-survivor history:

"I'm not going to sit here on your show and be asked a question meant to shame me about another potential rape victim. I'm not going to do that. I live with shame."

The exchange drew widespread coverage as Mace had publicly discussed being a rape survivor while simultaneously endorsing Trump after his civil liability finding in the E. Jean Carroll case.
