"Alan Dershowitz, a former defense attorney for Jeffrey Epstein, compared Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) to the late Sen. Joseph McCarthy (R-WI) on Sunday due to her recent speech naming Epstein as a donor to the Republican Party, despite the donor being a totally different person than the late child sex predator. Dershowitz joined Newsmax host Jon Glasgow on The Sunday Report to discuss the continued controversy over the release of information related to Epstein."
"No, this is the new McCarthyism, said Dershowitz. This is the same as what Joseph McCarthy did in the 1950s. He continued: He would hold up a piece of paper and say I have a list of names and crimes. And now we're seeing members of congress, several of them including one who just announced their resignation, that she was going to get on the floor of Congress and hold up a list of twenty people without an opportunity to respond. This is pure McCarthyism."
Alan Dershowitz compared congressional actions surrounding Jeffrey Epstein files to 'new McCarthyism,' equating public naming of alleged associates to 1950s tactics. He said members of Congress have presented lists of names on the House floor without offering opportunities to respond and accused advocates of targeting lawyers who represented Epstein. Dershowitz called witnesses presented in these proceedings 'overt liars.' Congress passed and the president signed a bill forcing release of Epstein documents, prompting controversy. Rep. Jasmine Crockett named multiple Republicans as recipients of donations from someone named Jeffrey Epstein, and one named official, Lee Zeldin, said the donor was a different physician, Dr. Jeffrey Epstein.
