Jeffrey Epstein’s recently published emails reportedly include more than a few mentions of Donald Trump’s name, prompting the US president to go into defensive mode at a recent press conference – as described by Jon Stewart. daily show The above clip is characterized as a “nonsense answer” in which he attempted to place blame squarely on the Democrats.
Stewart says, “First of all, are you OK? Second of all, we’ve tried to look at those people, but every time we do, your picture comes up. But fuck, yes, check out everyone who had ties to Epstein, which, if we’re being honest, includes you, Mr. President.” “And while you’re there, see if you can find the Democrat who made the prison deal for Ghislaine Maxwell, because he told your lawyer he’s never seen you do anything wrong.”
Stewart talks about the Republican response to the email, and how it compares to the right’s response to the old #Pizzagate conspiracy.
“With these Podesta emails, they were puzzle machines decoding everything,” Stewart says. “But these Epstein emails are now a new York Times Crossword puzzle from Monday. You can figure this shit out with ink.”
