There is a tacit understanding in America that the right-wing establishment and those who represent and advance its interests have a monopoly on cruelty, indecency and calls to violence. They are entitled to it whereaas it is a heinous crime for anyone else. It's effectively a caste system.

Kash Patel says the FBI has NO information that Jeffrey Epstein trafficked minors to anyone other than himself.
SEN. KENNEDY: "Who, if anyone, did Epstein traffic these young women to?"
PATEL: "There is no credible information, none ... that he trafficked to other individuals."
