Disney has faced a lot of criticism recently when it comes to its decisions regarding its “woke” news channels and decisions. Some recent revelations, however, have brought these criticisms to the fore in a whole new way, surrounding ABC journalist George Stephanopoulos.
ABC News has seen its fair share of controversy recently with the TJ Holmes and Amy Robach scandal. The former Good Morning America anchors were fired after the company discovered their affair. But they don’t seem to be the only ones out of fans’ good graces.

George Stephanopoulos Slammed by Fans and Critics
The former White House communications director presently co-anchors Good Morning America with Robin Roberts and Michael Strahan and hosts This Week, ABC’s Sunday morning current events news program.
Stephanopoulos has been called out on X, formerly Twitter, recently for his associations with the late Jeffrey Epstein, the notorious pedophile. Barry Levine revealed that Stephanopoulos was present at the celebratory party when Epstein exited prison—in reality, a private wing of the Palm Beach County Stockade.
Critics completely slammed Stephanopoulos for his interactions with Epstein. One fan wrote, “And ABC/Disney said that little troll was just doing his job. Why people still support this news trash is [beyond] me.”

This isn’t all, though.
A report from Fox News shared that Nancy Mace’s office believed that women’s groups needed to demand an apology from George Stephanopoulos.
This was because he tried to“‘shame’ her for endorsing former President Trump.”
Particularly, Mace felt “personally attacked” when Stephanopoulos asked her during an interview how she could support Trump when he has been accused of rape and sexual assault.
Unfortunately Nancy, ABC/Disney encourage this political news hack to treat conservative Woman this way.

“Every single group that claims to stand for women and victims of rape should demand an apology from George Stephanopoulos. There is absolutely nothing ‘valiant’ or ‘ethical’ about shaming and bullying victims rape. We hope that the female leadership at ABC demand he apologize for his blatant imprudence and disrespect,” Mace’s spokesperson, Gabrielle Lipsky, told Fox News Digital.
The anchor is certainly not having an easy time right now.
