In a metaphor that was too on-the-nose, there was a military flyover in Washington, D.C. that drowned out Epstein survivors who were speaking out.

As a survivor, I can't think of a more fitting metaphor than a rapist creating loud noises with planes as a survivor tries to tell her story. I mean... just wow. Nevertheless, she persisted.
