I guess putting myself into a position where it can come across that way.

I'm really trying to be the defense attorney for like sanity.

So here's what I would say.

I have to just reject the whole premise of this discussion that is so ubiquitous now, which is that anybody who so much as exchanged a chortling email with Jeffrey Epstein, and I know Reid Hoffman apparently had a closer relationship with Jeffrey Epstein than just one

Email here or there.

But the principle that anybody who had some interaction of some degree, to some degree or another, Jeffrey Epstein, now has something that they have to issue these mealy-mouthed, melodramatic statements of profound apology for is just so tedious and ridiculous.

What are they guilty of?

If the implication is that they're by association guilty of enabling pedophilic sex trafficking, that is a flagrant misconception.

Do people know, how come it's never clarified that Jeffrey Epstein was never even accused of

of committing any illicit sexual acts against any person under the age of 18 after the year 2005.

So I don't know what years Reid Hoffman and Jeffrey Epstein interacted, but this idea that he was looking the other way while all these preteens were being raped is just nonsense, but the media never clarifies it.

So now we have everybody from Noam Chomsky to Steve Bannon being told that their reputation is in tatters and they are...

themselves like by association, some sort of like sex criminal enablers.

And it's just a, it's just a total fantasy.

And it's part of this moral panic.

I mean, Epstein pleaded guilty to two prostitution charges in 2008.

You're saying Reid Hoffman and Noam Chomsky and Steve Bannon should have all said, oh, because the guy pleaded guilty to two prostitution charges, which they were, that means nobody can ever consort with him ever again for the rest of his life?

I think that's a ridiculous standard.

Any association at all is radio with Epstein is radioactive.

I mean, but so if somebody lies, then I mean, they can be condemned for the lie because that's what we're talking about.
