JD Vance Scolds Corporate Media For ‘Not Giving A Damn’ About ‘Scumbag Pedophile’ Epstein Until Now

Vice President J.D. Vance tore into the corporate media on Monday for “not giving a damn” about the case surrounding sex offender Jeffrey Epstein until President Donald Trump took office.

Vance said during a speech in Canton, Ohio, that the media completely turned a blind eye to the Epstein case for nearly two decades and that journalists are only concerned with criticizing the handling of the case under the Trump administration. He vowed that the administration will not mimic former Presidents George W. Bush, Barack Obama and Joe Biden’s administrations, who he said went “easy” on Epstein.

“I got to make an observation that there is an interesting thing about this case that the American media tends to ignore. For four years under Joe Biden’s Department of Justice, the media didn’t give a damn about the Epstein files or the Epstein case,” Vance said. “For literally 20 years, the story about this scumbag, and he is a scumbag pedophile, Jeffrey Epstein … For 20 years, you had Obama and George W. Bush’s Department of Justice go easy on this guy, they didn’t fully investigate the case, they didn’t show any curiosity about the case and now Donald J. Trump is asking his Department of Justice to show full transparency and somehow that’s a criticism of Donald J. Trump and not Barack Obama or George W. Bush.”

“If you want to criticize the people who aren’t showing full transparency, you ought to go after the administrations that went easy on Jeffrey Epstein, the administrations that concealed this case for 20 years and the administrations that failed to show full transparency,” the vice president continued.
