"Massie is another casualty of the retribution tour, but I think people need to understand that the reason why Donald Trump went after him was because he was not subservient to him on the Epstein files, and that is a problem, because America will remember who protected predators."
"Can we just do a little bit of fact-checking on the Epstein issue? Did every member of the House Republican Conference except for one vote to release the Epstein files, yes or no? Because there was a discharge petition where they had to. The answer is yes. Yes. Did Donald Trump sign it into law, yes or no? Because he knew that he was going to lose the discharge petition, so be honest about that, Scott."
"Because there was a discharge petition and they were forced to put it on the floor, Scott. They weren't come on. If they were open to doing it, then they would not have had to go through a discharge petition."
A CNN panel challenged GOP analyst Scott Jennings over claims about the release of the Epstein files. Jennings emphasized a near-unanimous House vote and President Donald Trump’s signature on the law. Tara Setmayer and Ana Navarro pressed for context, arguing that Massie was targeted because he was not subservient to Trump regarding the Epstein files. They said a discharge petition was required, implying Republicans were forced to bring the measure to the floor. Setmayer argued Trump went after Massie as part of a retribution effort and warned that America would remember who protected predators. Separately, Rep. Thomas Massie lost his reelection primary to Trump-backed Ed Gallrein.
