Representative Nancy Mace (R-SC) said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” that anchor George Stephanopoulos was trying to shame her for being a rape survivor and supporting former President Donald Trump. Stephanopoulos said, “You endorsed Donald Trump for president. Two separate juries have found him liable for rape. How do you square your support for Donald Trump?” Mace said, “I will tell you that I was raped at the age of 16, and any rape victim will tell you I’ve lived for 30 years with an incredible amount of shame. I didn’t come forward because of that judgment and shame that...

On Sunday's This Week, anchor and former Clinton hatchetman George Stephanopoulos was forced out of his liberal bubble when reporting on his own network's poll showing how truly unpopular President Joe Biden is with the American people. With inflation at a forty-year high, an economy teetering on recession, and one international crisis after another, you have to wonder why Stephanopoulos finds this at all surprising. Turning to ABC's political director Rick Klein, Stephanopoulos fretted: "This is just brutal for President Biden." Klein was forced to agree with him since there was no way to spin this since this was their...

Rachel Maddow is teaching her to use a TelePrompTer, so far with mixed results. Mika Brzezinski offered tips on pinning down squirrelly guests. Nicolle Wallace invited her to editorial meetings, and Andrea Mitchell is tutoring her on interviewing techniques. Jen Psaki spent the last two decades jousting with journalists. She’s about to find out what it’s like on the other side of the anchor desk. Less than a year removed from her perch as President Joe Biden’s press secretary, Psaki will become the host of a weekly MSNBC talk show March 19, the network said Tuesday. “Inside With Jen Psaki”...

Former Gov. Chris Christie created a firestorm on ABC News’ “This Week With George Stephanopoulos” on Sunday, with what he had to say about the Jan. 6 Committee. Christie pointed out that, to many Republicans, the Committee doesn’t have any credibility. That’s because they don’t have any real Republicans on the Committee to make any points against the Democratic narrative. The January 6 committee was “resigned to having a credibility problem because of the membership of the committee and the way that was done,” Christie opened by saying. “There are lots of Republicans across this country who just say, there’s...

Representative Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” that a criminal referral from the January 6 House Select Committee was not necessary because the Department of Justice is going after former President Donald Trump “pretty hard.” Anchor George Stephanopoulos said, “President Biden said yesterday the committee made an overwhelming case. Should we be expecting a criminal referral?

Representative Cori Bush (D-MO) defended her calls to defund the police by saying “we can’t get caught up in words” Tuesday on ABC’s “Good Morning America.” Anchor George Stephanopoulos asked, “You have stuck by it. In fact, you are are one of the few Democrats who still says let’s defund the police. Are you worried at all that that could hurt some of your colleagues going into the midterm elections?”

New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” lawmakers who voted against President Joe Biden’s massive spending package are “defunders of the police.” Anchor George Stephanopoulos said, “Mayor Adams, you promised to focus on crime in your campaign. Major crimes have continued to rise on your watch. How do you explain it? What more can be done?”

ABC News actually responds to Free Beacon inquiry ABC News policy required that George Stephanopolous disclose his contributions to the Clinton Foundation to management before covering stories related to it, according to an ABC spokesman who responded to a Washington Free Beacon inquiry. (snip) “Staff need to disclose personal donations to a charitable organization to us before covering a story related to that organization,” said Julie Townsend, who heads ABC’s news communications. “He had not disclosed the Foundation donations to us before he interviewed Peter Schweizer,” the author of Clinton Cash.

Don't think this is an award yet, but it should be. Another left wing media figure trying to use their position to sway an election. Past winner was Candy Crowley.

In case you missed it yesterday, ABC News chief anchor and former Clinton White House communication advisor George Stephanopoulos admitted to donating $75,000 dollars to the Clinton Foundation after being busted by the Washington Free Beacon. Of course, Stephanopoulos didn't disclose the information before interviewing Clinton Cash author Peter Schweizer two weeks ago about allegations Hillary Clinton traded political favors for donations to the Clinton Foundation during her time as Secretary of State. During the interview, Stephanopoulos argued there was no "smoking gun" to Schweizer's claims in his book and said ABC News had concluded there was no wrongdoing. Naturally,...

The following exchange set up by George Stephanopolous is a glaring example of hypocrisy. It is also an example of pure manipulation in the media. It is one of the provable moments in which network media is propagandizing the American people. In its own way, it is on a level with the Benghazi "Mohammed Video" propaganda effort -- also by Hillary Clinton surrogates -- to run an information campaign against the American people. STEPHANOPOLOUS: ...But I do want to ask a broader question. It's been reported that you -- you briefed several Republicans on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, including...

ABC anchor George Stephanopoulos said Sunday on “This Week” that a new ABC News/Washington Post poll shows 54% of Americans do not believe President Joe Biden is mentally sharp during his interview with White House press secretary Jen Psaki. Stephanopoulos said, “The president is approaching his State of the Union in a pretty difficult political position right now, 37% approval rating, Democrats trailing badly in the midterm polling. A majority in our recent poll out this morning even question the president’s mental capacity. How is he going to turn that around on Tuesday night? And how much has his State...

Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” that the Republican Party’s 2024 presidential nomination is former President Donald Trump’s for the taking. Anchor George Stephanopoulos said, “Senator, it’s been several years since you’ve been on the program. It’s our first chance since January 6 to ask about your relationship with President Trump and his leadership with the Republican Party. We showed your comments from January 6. The next day you talked about the president’s accountability for allowing the ride to happen. You’ve also said the Republican Party can’t win without him, and the 2024 nomination is his...

Senator Mike Rounds (R-SD) said Sunday Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” that former President Donald Trump’s fraud claims in the 2020 presidential election are unfounded. Anchor George Stephanopoulos said, “You voted to certify the election last year, and you condemned the protests as an insurrection. What do you say to all those Republicans, all those veterans who believe the election was stolen and bought the falsehoods coming from former President Trump?”

Former Gov. Chris Christie (R) said that the events leading up to the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol were "driven from the top" and executed by "C-team players" around then-President Trump. Christie said it was "C-team players" who told Trump what "he wanted to hear" during his last few months in office, during an interview Sunday on ABC News's "This Week" with host George Stephanopoulos. Christie added "you got a bunch of people around him by the time we got to the end, with very few exceptions, that were C-team players, at best, on their best day."

Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” that the January 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol “was driven from the top” by former President Donald Trump. Anchor George Stephanopoulos said, “It seems like every single day, Chris Christie, we’re learning more about what was going on inside the White House in those days leading up to January 6. Most recently this week, this PowerPoint presentation that was sent to Mark Meadows detailing all the ways the White House could interfere in the investigation. It may explain why the former president and his allies are...

The Santa Fe Sheriff's Department said it is awaiting results from the FBI which would shed light on how the gun could have been fired, whether that was just pulling back the hammer – which hits the firing pin – just pulling the trigger or both. "Guns don't just go off," Sheriff Adan Mendoza told Fox News Digital. "So whatever needs to happen to manipulate the firearm, he did that and it was in his hands."

Republican Sen. John Barrasso (Wyo.) on Sunday repeatedly refused to condemn President Donald Trump for defending protesters’ calls to “hang Mike Pence” during the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, with Barrasso instead praising the former president for bringing “a lot of energy to the party.” “This Week” host George Stephanopoulos asked Barrasso four times whether he, or his party, takes issue with Trump defending calls by his supporters to kill the former vice president. Each time, Barrasso deflected. “President Trump brings a lot of energy to the party. He’s an enduring force. Elections are about the future, not...

The discredited British spy is set to be interviewed Monday by George StephanopoulosDelicious. Christopher Steele, the single most discredited actor in the entire Trump Russia Collusion Hoax, is set to be interviewed Monday by George Stephanopoulos, the single most pompous of all the brood of lying, self-important talking heads that spent more than four years trashing Donald Trump.I know that there is stiff competition for that first title. After all, Steele had to beat out James ‘Higher Loyalty’ Comey, liars and confabulators like John Brennan, Andrew McCabe, Lisa Page, Peter Strzok and James Clapper. But Steele wins, hands down, because...
