Ro Khanna

I really think that would solve so much of this risk aversion of the Democratic Party, where people don't feel like we stand for something.

I got it.

We need it.

Well, you're an important voice.

You're such an important voice that in the week of, probably my busiest week of my 10-year career in Congress, I flew in this morning and I'm flying back because what you're doing really matters.

So I appreciate it.

Well, first of all, it's good to see you in person.

I usually see you just on a Zoom screen, and I appreciate your voice.

It's been so disturbing and disgusting.

I mean, look, I met these survivors for months.

They've come into Congressman Thomas Massey and my offices.

They have broken down in tears.

People talk about being raped at 13, 14, and then being told to recruit others or they're going to continue to be raped.

One person said it's like a box.

You can push it away, but it comes back up.

So for me and Thomas Massey and Marjorie Taylor Greene, this became very personal.

And to see the level of people who are involved and the most famous people and powerful people in finance, in business, in Hollywood, thinking there's nothing wrong going to a convicted pedophile's island and watching at parties where girls are being paraded naked

or knowing that young girls are being raped, I mean, it is just horrifying to me, genuinely horrifying.

And that's why I call this the Epstein class, because if you look at the survivors, so many of them come from working-class backgrounds.

One of the things I found so disturbing is many of them didn't have a father, so they were being preyed on in that kind of calculated way.
