Regardless of President Donald Trump’s delusions in regards to the Epstein scandal, Pete Buttigieg says that his refusal to launch the Epstein information poses a political danger better than that of his Medicaid-slashing “One Big, Beautiful Bill.”

“He made this big deal about, ‘I’m going to come in, and we’re going to release these on Day 1,’” Buttigieg mentioned on “The People’s Cabinet” podcast Tuesday. “I think [his supporters] believed him because he said he would. And that whole worldview is based on this idea that there are powerful people who were involved with Jeffrey Epstein, and he was going to fight them. But we all know for a fact that there were powerful people who were involved with Jeffrey Epstein, and he was one of them.”
He went on to level out how Trump’s dealing with of the Epstein information isn’t only a sticking level with the left but additionally amongst his personal supporters.
“So you add all of that together, and I think—and then his response to the response has revealed how gullible he wants to think his own base is,” Buttigieg continued. “And I think a lot of people look at that and say, ‘Wait a minute, this is not just, like, you insulting the libs,’ which, you know, some of the supporters thrill to. It’s his supporters saying, ‘Wait a minute, you’re insulting me.’ And that’s a whole different thing.”
Trump’s evasiveness mixed along with his weird and circuitous explanations concerning his relationship with Epstein, the GOP’s panicked responses, and his administration’s virtually cartoonish deflection ways have solely fueled the general public’s demand for transparency.
Buttigieg’s eloquence and command of long-form media stay one of many Democratic Celebration’s most potent tremendous powers. Hopefully others will take notice.
