People will say, hey, Congressman, can I tell you about what happened to me?
I've known people for 30 years.
And they said, you know, Roe,
Something happened.
One person told me, you know, when I was four to eight years old, my babysitter's boyfriend abused me.
And I never told my mom or my dad, because my dad would have killed the guy, and my mom would have totally lost it.
So I've held this with me.
And she said to me, Roe, it's like a box.
You put it in a box and you put it away, but it comes back at any moment.
And the amount of people who have faced this, I'm not saying all from Epstein, obviously, just faced this in this country, is extraordinary and it's sickening.
It's a national crisis.
First thing we need to realize is we've got a moral crisis in this country.
Second thing is when you're having your kids go to a sleepover, go to a sports team, go on a field trip,
Be paranoid.
I mean, I don't want to scare folks, but when you have them on a gaming site, when you have them on the internet, they need to be paranoid.
The parents need to understand that this is not something that happens in a remote part of the country.
This could happen to your kids.
But the main reason I want these Epstein files out is because it'll force a reckoning in this country.
It'll be the biggest scandal, I fundamentally believe, in 100 years, because it's going to expose how sick our elite culture is, where for their own gratification, they think that they can just abuse these girls and nothing will happen.
And that kind of culture has permeated across the nation.
