Congressman Thomas Massie says commerce secretary ‘has a lot to answer for’ over ties to late convicted sex offender
US House member Thomas Massie has called for the commerce secretary, Howard Lutnick – a fellow Republican – to resign over his ties to late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Massie, who co-authored a law mandating the release of the so-called Epstein files, appeared Sunday on CNN’s Inside Politics and said Lutnick, a staunch Donald Trump ally, “has a lot to answer for”.
“Really, he should make life easier on the president, frankly, and just resign,” Massie said. Alluding to how the Epstein scandal has roiled UK politics, including by costing Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor his title as a prince and Peter Mandelson his US ambassadorship, Massie added of Lutnick: “If this were Great Britain, he’d already be gone.”
I love how the Americans point to Andrew losing his titles as being the big story in the UK. He never mattered. We’ll happily crucify him. No big deal.
The fall-out from Mandelson is much more impactful. Our PM is currently fighting for his position just because he appointed somebody with links to Epstein. The equivalent is Trump getting kicked out for appointing Lutnick, even after he’s fired him and several advisors.
Also, because there’s a tiny amount of daylight between the scandal and the sex trafficking, it’s bringing focus on the information brokerage aspects of the Epstein and other circles.
Because Americans are statistically very stupid and care about titles and royalty as it’s a source of cultural fascination for them. They created their own version of “royalty” with celebrity worship.
Well, we’re statistically very sexy too.
I mean. It’s not nothin.
You’re statistically morbidly obese.
We prefer thicc
Yall should prefer salad
