I.. I have NO words. The words won't form in my head.
>After casting her vote for Donald Trump in 2024 in hopes that he would bring transparency around the Jeffrey Epstein case, Epstein survivor Jena Lisa Jones said in an interview this week that she now fears “we’re not going to get justice in all of this”.
What would voting for Epstein's best friend and accomplice achieve in getting "her day in court"?? Why would the biggest liar, cheat, fraud, and moron in the entire world NOT quash anything negative that has his name attached to it? WHAT IS THIS LOGIC? IS THIS LOGIC?
I really don't want to be the person who tells an Epstein survivor they're an incomprehensible idiot... did I just do that? I guess maybe I did? I'm.. sorry? I'm.. NOT sorry? I don't know what I am.
Fox News destroyed a lot of people’s brains. Basically turned them into mush. So I’m not surprised a conservative could be this stupid.
Probably has to do with the notion of Trump being "anti-establishment" and Epstein being considered part of that "establishment". The idea in certain sphere has long been that there was a conspiracy of evil pedophiles running the deep state and that Trump was their adversary (see Pizzagate).
Some of his closest allies were pretty vocal on the Epstein case before the 2024 election, being convinced the likes of Bill Clinton would be compromised (which he was), but apparently believing Trump was innocent (which, obviously, he wasn't). Trump opposing the release of the file was something many in his camp appeared surprised and disappointed by, as his appearance in them ; tho of course those closest to him will say that was another conspiracy.
