Current state of things: One Fox News host casually declares that Epstein’s money comes from “Jewish billionaires” and a “Jewish banking family,” another responds that he was a “sex rabbi.” www.mediamatters.org/fox-news/jes...

Howard Lutnick misled the American people about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein because he didn't want to admit he continued interacting with Epstein even AFTER Epstein was convicted of soliciting a minor.

It's a disgrace. Lutnick needs to resign as Secretary of Commerce.

An issue with the Epstein files is that the FBI interviewed a lot of people after Epstein died, and some of them were cranks who said things like “He sounds like Mossad to me” and now people can be like “Epstein was Mossad, it’s in the Epstein files!”

A Democrat with ties to Epstein is out. Good. Interesting how Republicans don't hold their Epstein pals accountable like this.
