This is the Republican party in a nutshell—they don’t give a damn about children who were raped by wealthy pedophiles. All they care about is helping their Epstein class donors (many of whom are in the Epstein Files themselves) get richer.

The Armenian Genocide is a historical fact. Vice President Vance can delete his post, but he can't erase history. His decision to ignore the facts is beyond disrespectful to the Armenian community and the millions killed in the Armenian Genocide.
