"On Tuesday, victims of the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein gathered to bring attention to the House vote to release the Epstein files. On this episode of The Opinions, the contributing Opinion writer Molly Jong-Fast describes the connection these women felt with one another and with their Republican advocate Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene. They're not faking it, Jong-Fast says. They had a real camaraderie."
"You could see that these victims felt very connected with Marjorie Taylor Greene. So, that's fascinating. Yeah, I mean, you really could see, because they're not faking it. They don't And, in fact, one of them was like, I voted for Trump, and you've betrayed me. Not quite that, but basically that. And so they're not faking it. And the other thing that I want to just mention about the victims is these women, and remember, there are probably hundreds of women."
"But these women had not ever been together. So, what that first press conference, when the discharge petition got started, they had a real camaraderie, and they started talking about reading a list. And they talked about it again yesterday. I haven't seen any reporting about this, but they did, in fact, talk about one of the victims said, Marjorie said she'll read a list of our names."
Victims of Jeffrey Epstein gathered to urge release of the Epstein files and to draw attention to a House vote on their disclosure. The survivors displayed genuine camaraderie and felt a strong connection with Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene. Some survivors expressed feelings of political betrayal tied to past support for Trump. Hundreds of women endured years of abuse, and many had never been together until recent press events fostered solidarity. Participants discussed publicly reading a list of victims' names, and several members of Congress indicated willingness to read them, showing appetite for disclosure.
