Contributing sentiments towards policy:

50% : The fact that Trump did this was unusual.
49% : Trump has appealed those verdicts.
49% : If we don't press our advantage in the cultural and political spheres, we will have lost everything we just gained.
37% : It's entirely possible that the day before the debate between Joe Biden and Trump was the high water mark of the Democrat party, something it had been building to since the 1960s.
35% : However, Trump not only sued, but he also forced Stephanopoulos and ABC to settle in a way highly favorable to him:ABC News has agreed to pay $15 million toward Donald Trump's presidential library to settle a lawsuit over anchor George Stephanopoulos' inaccurate on-air assertion that the president-elect had been found civilly liable for raping writer E. Jean Carroll.
27% : She then filed a second suit that also alleged defamation and that added a battery claim under a law that the New York legislature passed for the sole purpose of allowing Carroll to sue Trump.
23% : In May 2023, a civil jury expressly rejected any contention that Trump had raped Carroll.
22% : The judge then held that Trump was guilty of defamation.
21% : Additionally, Carroll vividly remembered wearing an outfit that wasn't sold then.Trump vigorously and consistently denied the charges, so Carroll sued him for defamation.
21% : Ultimately, between the two lawsuits, which meant two defamation claims and one legislative rape claim, Trump was ordered to pay $83.3 million in damages.
15% : The lawsuit goes back to E. Jean Carroll's claim that Donald Trump had raped her in a Bloomingdale's changing room in the mid-1990s, something she never mentioned to the police.
12% : Even though Carroll's rape claim couldn't pass muster in a civil case, that didn't stop George Stephanopoulos, an ABC employee, from claiming that Trump had been "found liable for rape."Because of the heinous nature of that assertion, Trump sued.
11% : ABC and George Stephanopoulos have settled the defamation case that Donald Trump filed against them.
