Republicans sink to new low when it comes to Epstein case
As inured as we have become to President Donald Trump and his fellow Republicans’ cruel, de-humanizing actions and language, we still can’t fathom the depths to which they have sunk in regard to the Epstein affair.
In contrast to the craven cowardice most Republicans unfailingly display in all things Trump, these surviving women showed tremendous courage by coming forward to publicly confront memories that we’re sure they’d rather forget.
They are only asking for truth and justice. So it’s more than despicable to have Trump self-righteously dismiss their traumas as, ‟just another Democrat hoax” (yeah…like Russian election interference and climate change), while threatening any Republican who doesn’t back him up.
Meanwhile, a special ring of hell has to be reserved for AG Pam Bondi and Rep. Elise Stefanik for doing everything they can to ensure that these women go through their horrors all over again, although they undoubtedly know the truth.
It’s been said that, ‟A woman voting for a Republican is like a chicken voting for Colonel Sanders.”
While a few prominent female Republicans are voicing strong support for these women survivors, we’re reserving any praise until we see if they actually support Rep. Thomas Massie’s petition and vote to release the complete Epstein files, against the direct orders of their autocrat leader. Nancy Mace, Marjorie Taylor Greene, we’re looking right at you.
