Contributing sentiments towards policy:

62% : The underlying lawsuit was filed just eight days after that segment -- during which the anchor interviewed Rep. Nancy Mace, a Georgia Republican, and pressed her to explain her support for Trump.
35% : The once and future president is suing because Stephanopoulos said "more than 10 times" on "This Week" in March that Trump had been found "liable for rape" in the E. Jean Carroll civil case.
29% : The lawsuit argues that ABC and Stephanopoulos defamed Trump in an article's initial headline and during the broadcast with the claim -- even though the jury verdict sheet specifically said "no" as to the rape allegation.
24% : Trump's lawsuit argues Stephanopoulos must have known his statements were false because he has "vast experience as a journalist" and once "specifically" asked E. Jean Carroll how she felt that Trump "was not found liable for rape."
22% : Altonaga warned ABC News and Trump that she would not countenance any further efforts at pushing things back from either side.
16% : The implication was never left in doubt during the broadcast: Stephanopoulos pointed out Mace herself is a rape victim and repeatedly claimed Trump had been found "liable for rape" by a jury.
15% : The plaintiff further alleged ABC rebuffed a retraction demand and did not apologize, only changing an article headline from "Nancy Mace defends her support Trump after he was found liable for rape" to "Nancy Mace defends her support Trump after he was found liable for sexual assault.
