Hey everyone, in the heat of things, I originally saw this quote in a piece in the Nation, and their quote has since been updated to specify that it was specific to Joy Reid, Michelle Obama, etc.

Kash Patel says the FBI has NO information that Jeffrey Epstein trafficked minors to anyone other than himself.
SEN. KENNEDY: "Who, if anyone, did Epstein traffic these young women to?"
PATEL: "There is no credible information, none ... that he trafficked to other individuals."

Folks, the "I bought this before Elon went crazy" bumper stickers ain't gonna cut it. You gotta get rid of your Tesla. Anything less is a tacit endorsement of this man and his dangerous ideology.
Elon Musk spoke by video to Tommy Robinson's anti-immigrant rally in the UK today.
"You're in a fundamental situation here where, whether you choose violence or not, violence is coming to you," said Musk. "You either fight back or you die."

Trump's Under Secretary of Defense has called Islam "the most oppressive, violent religion" & accused Obama of being a secret "Muslim" & "terrorist leader" & a "Manchurian candidate" serving the interests of Hamas.
In any other administration, this would be a huge scandal.
