Sen. Markwayne Mullin tried to blame former President Barack Obama for Jeffrey Epstein‘s 2008 plea deal, despite Obama not being president at the time.
Mullin made the comments while being interviewed by Jake Tapper on CNN’s State of the Union on Sunday. First, Tapper and Mullin debated over whether the attorney general has the ability to release documents related to the Epstein investigation, with Mullin insisting that only judges have the ability to make that information public and Tapper arguing that there is additional information that Attorney General Pam Bondi could — and has promised to — release, yet she has not done so.
Then Mullin made a bizarre claim that Epstein struck a deal in Florida in 2009, under President Obama. But that is factually incorrect, as Tapper pointed out.
No I just don’t care much because Harris would have been a great president regardless who her friends are.
I’m not disagreeing with that. She surely would have been vastly better than the current president. It’s too bad the DNC paraded around those Bush admins and lost the election. She had so much momentum until they toned down her more progressive message.
She got all the votes from the progressives it was the center-right members of the party that didn’t show up to vote which tells me that they didn’t lean right enough.
If they leaned any further right, they’d have to start wearing orange makeup.
Well, that’s just demonstrably false. There are plenty of polls that indicate she might have had a chance of she took an anti genocide stance.
Care to share one of these polls?
