I think I'm not alone when I say we've all been reading these Epstein files and every day becoming more and more disgusted as more information leaks, as people, you know, access stuff that you haven't seen yet.
And so to just see these women who've already been put through so much, not even, you know, it wasn't enough that Pam didn't, you know, apologize.
She wouldn't even turn around.

You know, he is the one who forged that bill with Ro Khanna.
