This quote by Thomas Massie will stick: "This is the Epstein administration."
Massie on ABC just now: “Donald Trump told us that even though he had dinner with these people in NYC and West Palm Beach, that he would be transparent. But he’s not. He’s still in with the Epstein class. This is the Epstein administration.”
