Don Jr. Implies That Only Dems Did Business With Epstein And Maxwell—And It Backfired Hard

Donald Trump Jr. implied that only Democrats did business with the child sex traffickers Jeffrey Epstein, who died by suicide in prison in 2019, and Ghislaine Maxwell after Blaze host Chad Prather called for anyone connected to the underage sex trafficking operation to be publicly named.

Writing on Twitter, Trump Jr. suggested that if the list were a list of conservatives, it would all be publicly available information, receive round-the-clock media coverage, and encompass a complete investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).


Trump Jr., adding that "people would rightfully be going to jail for a long time," implied that Democrats had orchestrated a climate of "sealed evidence, total silence, and inaction."

However, Trump Jr.'s remarks willingly obfuscate the fact that his father, former President Donald Trump, had a close relationship with Epstein and Maxwell for decades. The trio were often photographed together.

The former President once referred to Epstein as “terrific guy” in an interview with New York magazine, a statement that came back to haunt him over the following decade when Epstein was arrested on federal charges for the sex trafficking of minors in Florida and New York.

Much later, once Maxwell was arrested and Trump, who by then was in office, was asked for remarks, he said, “I just wish her well, frankly," a comment that placed his association with the two criminals under further scrutiny.

In fact, flight logs introduced in Maxwell's trial showed Trump flew on Epstein's private jet seven times between 1993 and 1997,

Many reminded Trump Jr. of these facts noting that his own father would wind up in the crosshairs of the investigation if his desire for people to "rightfully" go to jail comes to fruition.



Maxwell's trial garnered heavy press coverage. On December 29, 2021, having been charged with the crimes of enticement of minors and sex trafficking of underage girls, she was convicted on five of six counts. She faces a second trial on charges that she lied under oath about Epstein's abuse of underage girls.

Fox News Host Apologizes After His Suggestion That Homeless People Be Euthanized Sparks Outrage

Fox and Friends host Brian Kilmeade was criticized for suggesting that homeless people with mental health issues get "involuntary lethal injection" after the murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska on a train in North Carolina—and was swiftly condemned for an insincere apology several days after the fact as many are calling for Fox News to terminate his contract.

Zarutska was stabbed to death at the East/West Boulevard station on the Lynx Blue Line in Charlotte last month; her killer, a homeless man with a history of mental health issues, has since been charged with first-degree murder.

Nancy Mace Just Tried To Claim She's Never 'Dehumanized' Her Colleagues—And The Internet Brought The Receipts

South Carolina Republican Representative Nancy Mace was called out for hypocrisy after she claimed on CNN that Democrats in Congress have been "dehumanizing" Republicans, a move she would "never" do—despite her record of doing just that.

Speaking to anchor Katie Bolduan while the search for the suspect who killed far-right activist Charlie Kirk was ongoing, Mace objected to Bolduan's observation that she was using "us v. them" language, only saying that things are "very one-sided right now." She also suggested that the situation is so bad for her that she's actually afraid of "just walking out in public."
