Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump)
The Democrats are trying to bring up the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax again because they’ll do anything at all to deflect on how badly they’ve done on the Shutdown, and so many other subjects. Only a very bad, or stupid, Republican would fall into that trap. The D...
Me thinks he's baiting them to do so-Dems have already gone against the release.
Wonder why?
Perhaps it's a test to see if Representatives represent their citizens? If not their citizens, then who? And, what do the citizens really think about this? What is the effect on them? Is there more to government "of the people by the people for the people" than just "populism"?
Literally zero Democrats in power are against the release of the Epstein files.
In the Senate on September 10, Schumer (D) introduced an amendment to the NDAA force the release of the Epstein files. Every Republican voted to table that amendment. Every Democrat to keep it to release the Epstein files.
In the House on September 2, Thomas Massie (R) introduced a petition to vote to release the Epstein files. Every Democrat in the house has signed that petition. All but four Republicans have refused to do so. The petition needed one more signature, which newly elected Adelita Grijalva (D) would have given, but Mike Johnson (R) refused to swear her in for 7 weeks during the shutdown (not an excuse, since Congress continues to get paid to work during a shutdown). She has now been sworn in and has signed the petition.
Donald Trump (R) has reportedly asked Lauren Boebert (R) and Nancy Mace (R) to wiithdraw their signatures from the petition.
Not sure where you're getting your "Dems have already gone against the release" narrative, but the truth seems to be exactly the opposite of that.
Trump "Don't talk about this"
the woke left mob "THIIIIISSSSSSSS"
8 years ago nobody outside of conspiracy circles has heard Epsteins name, go look at reddit front page right now
disclosure
My guess is that Trump wants the Epstein list released closer to the midterm elections because it involves lots of democrats
This may be the reason for him saying only "bad" R's would vote to release them now.
We don't want special elections ahead of time.
Baiting and timing is everything.
Reminds me of Bugs Bunny begging Elmer Fudd not to throw him into that briar patch! Kek
