Looks Like Republicans May Pay In The Midterm Elections For Protecting Epstein Class

Democrats are flooding the airwaves with advertisements attacking Republicans over their association with disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein, which appears to be swaying voters toward supporting Democratic candidates.

The Senate Majority PAC, the Democrats’ top Senate majority political action committee, found that a 44% plurality of voters believed Republicans should be held responsible for their connections to the Epstein class of global elites, according to Politico. The PAC’s research found that Epstein ads can sway elections three to six points in the Democrats’ direction.

Sixty-nine of the Senate Majority PAC’s ads mentioned Epstein since the beginning of the cycle, Politico reported.

The PAC’s latest ad attacked Republican Alaska Sen. Dan Sullivan, who faces a competitive reelection bid against former Democratic Alaska Rep. Mary Peltola. Sullivan received more than $10,000 in campaign donations from Epstein associates just months after voting to block the release of the Epstein files, according to Meidas News.

“Sullivan took thousands in cash from Epstein associates, and voted to keep the files hidden from the public. 
Even after he knew 14 year old girls were raped,” the ad’s narrator said.

Billionaire Henry Kravis, who appeared in Epstein’s list of key business contacts, gave $8,500 to the Sullivan Victory Committee on April 1, according to Meidas News. New York real estate executive Howard Lorber, who showed up in the Epstein emails released by the House Oversight Committee, gave a $693 contribution to Alaskans for Dan Sullivan on June 28.

Sullivan spokesperson Nate Adams told the Daily Caller News Foundation that the PAC intentionally misled voters in the ad and argued that Peltola had taken money from Epstein-linked donors.

“These attacks have already been called misleading by independent fact-checkers, and Chuck Schumer’s super PAC knows it,” Adams said. “Senator Dan Sullivan voted to release the Epstein files, along with every other senator, Republican and Democrat. If Mary Peltola and her D.C. allies want to talk about Epstein money, they can start with the more than $140,000 she’s taken from Epstein-linked donors, money that went into the same account she’s paying herself a salary with. Mary Peltola is literally paying herself a salary with Epstein money.”

Sullivan voted against a Democratic-led budget amendment that would have forced the Department of Justice to release the Epstein files. Peltola reportedly took more than $140,000 in campaign donations from Epstein associates, including LinkedIn founder Reid Hoffman, who visited Epstein’s island, and Tim Zagat, who flew on Epstein’s private jet in 2002.
