Stephanopoulis made a mistake yesterday.

[no_hypocrisy]

He let Nancy Mace change the question. He asked her how she could support a man implicated with rape and she answered that GS was attacking her b/c she was raped. He feebly tried to dodge her counterattack. What he should have done was to point out repeatedly that she was begging the question and he wasn’t going to respond.

1. His mistake

was putting her on the air in the first place.

[TSExile]

2. Yes.

George has a wife and daughters - I hoped he would have been more persistent in his pushback.

[democrank]

6. Indeed

Yet another time-wasting, “Fair and Balanced” interview started by a media star with no courage and overtaken by a talking-point-laden MAGA cult person.

[Cha]

11. Yeah, it sounds like he wanted to get pwned.

[brush]

3. She's dispicable. He did keep asking the question though about supporting the rapist trump.

[Blue Owl]

4. Nancy Mace showed that she and the rest of the GOP have nothing

No good response to that question other than to deflect and try to turn some bogus accusation back on the questioner, and just keep repeating it out of desperation -- they got nothing...

5. Fully cached out tool of the ideological apparatus

is not ‘making mistakes’, he is earning his keep.

7. TV journalist have a time constraint. They will ask a couple of questions, the interviewee will always go for

I don’t know how many times I’ve heard politicians interviewed on TV. The interviewer will ask a couple of questions or a compound question and the interviewee just ignores the hard ones and bullshits on the other ones

[Cuthbert Allgood]

8. Pedantic, I know, but that's not begging the question.

Red herring, perhaps.

[senseandsensibility]

10. So Clinton was convicted of rape either civilly

or in a trial (the only kind that counts according to mace) I must have missed that. Welcome to DU.

[themaguffin]

12. Yeah, he kept letting her change the subject and get away with not answering the question. I was furious
