Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) slammed Republicans for trying to politicize the investigation into late child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein’s associates.
The House investigation into Epstein resulted in a subpoena of former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, with some Republicans saying on social media that Democrats will be scared to pursue an investigation into Epstein because the Clintons might be implicated. Moreover, Republicans are hoping to draw attention away from the current president’s long friendship with Epstein and all the times he’s mentioned in the Epstein files that have been released so far by focusing on the Clintons.
Ocasio-Cortez did not seem scared yesterday when asked about the Clintons agreeing yesterday to testify in the House about Epstein, stressing that the investigation should be bipartisan.
“Why haven’t so many people been prosecuted? Why have they continued to not be prosecuted?” she said, bringing up how the House passed a bill to get the Department of Justice to release the Epstein files, which still have not been fully released.
I mean, that’s kinda why I’ve been pretty confident there isn’t going to be a satisfying resolution because the whole thing has had the strong influence of people trying to use a dead pedophile as a genie’s lamp for political reasons.
To be fair, this whole saga kinda all goes back to MAGA making it campaign issue during the elections. Had they let it slide, no one would be talking about it.
