Morning Joe' Cuts Off Dem About Jaw-Dropping Trump-Epstein Claim

(snip)

Characterizing the White House’s attitude toward those potentially implicated in the Epstein files, Moulton said, “If you are one of the people like him who took advantage of young girls with Jeffrey Epstein, then we’re going to sort of make that go away.”

This immediately made Scarborough jump in.

“We don’t have evidence he took advantage of young girls with Jeffrey Epstein,” said the 62-year-old MSNBC host, defending the president.

“Right, right,” replied Moulton with a smirk. “Just, common sense be damned.”

are probably worse than what’s in report, even though I know trump was involved if only by shutting his eyes.

Point is, I’m fine with them hiding report because suspicion is hurting trump. Add in refusal to issue report, and suspicions get worse.

In court depositions Trump IS NAMED as part of the raping of YOUNG girls (plural!). In another a young girl said Trump raped her, slapped he around when she protested. After, he, like Epstein, threatened to have her killed if she spoke up. Other girls confirmed that.

4. Hardly jaw-dropping... what a dumb headline. Trump was freaking accused in a court filing of raping a 13 yr old!

5. Does anyone doubt that if he had the opportunity to rape a young girl and get away with it that he would do it?

Does anyone doubt that he had the opportunity to rape young girls as Epstein's friend and partner?

Is there anything about raping young girls that goes against his morals and values that he shows us every day?

Is there anything in his past that indicates he would not rape a young girl if he thought he could get away with it?

Is there anything in his past to indicate he was not sexually fixated on pretty young girls?
