No, not good for Mace. She’s a simpleton who frequently falls back on the girl power tropes, e.g., “you’re trying to shame me.” It’s not always about you, Nancy. We understand the answer to be correct because we’re political junkies, but not so the low information types who watch Stephanopolous. The correct answer is to point out the falsity in the question… Trump was never found liable for rape, and to throw it back in his teeth, asking why his question contains a lie
“Trump was never found liable for rape”
And that’s the truth that Mace probably didn’t get.
The idiot trial was about “sexual abuse”, and depended on E. Jean Carrol’s fantasized version of it. In other words it was a catchall for “maybe he did something that we can’t pin down but it had to do with sex” and labeled that as “abuse”, which in this day and age can mean anything the judge and the plaintiff’s lawyer want it to. The jury has to go with their definition.
Carrol is a relic of the Gonzo journalism era. Fictionalizing things is part of the game. Fabrications become reality in print, as long as they are underpinned by some actual situation. What she did was take it to the next level on the back of a vaguely worded statute that certainly has no Constitutional validity. And the morons of the jury ran with it, as no doubt Democrat party operative Judge Kaplan told them to.
