What vote did MAGA Republicans cast on the House floor to block debate on the Epstein files?
Wow, the MAGA Republicans in the House of Representatives just showed their cover-up on live TV. So once again, they voted against releasing the Epstein files. But here's what happened Tuesday afternoon. They voted on the House floor to block any debate about releasing the Epstein files. So their vote was to stop even discussions. about the Epstein Files, yet alone the release of the Epstein Files. Let's take a look at the cover up by the MAGA Republicans in clear and plain view on the House floor. Let's play it.
On this vote the yeas are two eleven, the nays are two ten. The previous question is ordered. The question is on adoption of the resolution. Those in favor say aye. Those opposed say no. In the opinion of the chair, the eyes have it. I read
you had Democratic Congress members pushing for transparency. Here's Democrat Democratic Congress member Jamie Raskin. Let's play it.
The Democratic members of this committee sent a letter today at 2 p.m. demanding that the president keep his word and release the files to the American people and that Chairman Jordan call a bipartisan hearing where we can work together to get to the bottom of this. How about a hearing on that? Do any of my colleagues want to talk about that? Or does everybody want to talk about George
Soros? I'm curious, but the MAGA Republicans were taking their orders from Donald Trump. Late Tuesday afternoon, Donald Trump was at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland, and Donald Trump said, I don't really even understand why people care about Epstein. It's boring stuff. What sex trafficking minors and covering up for elites is boring stuff. And then Donald Trump says, you know, Epstein was never even a big factor. in terms of life. Never a big factor in terms of life. What does that mean? Then he goes on to say, and it was fake news. It's all fake news like Russia, Russia, Russia. Here, play this clip.
I know you've urged people to move on, but I'm curious, why do you think your supporters in particular have been so interested in the Epstein stuff?
I don't understand it.
How did Democratic members like Jamie Raskin respond to the Republicans’ attempt to silence the Epstein discussion?
Uh why they would be so interested. He's dead for a long time. Uh he was never a big factor in terms of life. Uh I don't understand what the interest or what the fascination is. I really don't. And the credible information's been given. Don't forget we went through years of the Muller witch hunt and all of the different things. The steel dossier, which was all fake. All that information was fake. But I don't understand why the Jeffrey Epstein case would be of interest to anybody. It's pretty boring stuff. It's sordid, but it's boring. And I don't understand why it keeps going. Uh I I think well really only pretty bad people, including fake news, want to keep something like uh like that going. But Credible information, let 'em give it.
Anything that's credible, I would say let them have it.
So that's where the MAGA Republican Congress members were getting their orders from. But let's be clear what the Democrats were doing. Democratic Congress member Jamie Raskin says, so why after promising all these years to release the Epstein files, why isn't Trump releasing them? Here, play this clip.
And it's an attempt to change the subject, obviously, from what America wants to talk about now, which is why, after promising for all of these years to release the Epstein files, will President Trump not release them? And we know they were friends and we know they hung out and we know there are all these pictures together. We know that Michael Wolfe, Trump's biographer, said he saw photographs of Donald Trump and uh Epstein with minor age girls. Well Wh where where where does that leave us? That doesn't look good if they then cover up all the information. Come clean and release the information as the Republicans have repeatedly promised to do. So I look forward to
And here's Congressmember Raskin again. And here he is speaking with MAGA Republican Congressmember Van Drew. And Van Drew's like, I fundamentally disagree with everything you're saying about Epstein. So Raskin's like, Well, what do you disagree with?
