Vice President JD Vance went off on an AP reporter during remarks on tax cuts in Canton, Ohio, at a steel factory.
“I guess I’m going to be that person. There are some protestors outside accusing the GOP of protecting pedophiles, and we’re wondering what you think are the reasons the U.S. government should shield the client list of Epstein from the public?” the Associated Press reporter asked Vance.
Vance unleashed on the reporter.
“Well, let me just say a couple of things. First of all.. we’re not shielding anything. The President has directed the Attorney General to release all critical information and frankly to go find additional credible information related to the Jeffrey Epstein case – he’s been incredibly transparent about that stuff, but some of that stuff takes time,” Vance said.
“I got to make an observation. There’s an interesting thing about this case that the American media seems to totally ignore,” Vance said.
“For four years under Joe Biden’s Department of Justice, the media didn’t give a damn about the Epstein files or about the Epstein case for literally 20 years the story about this scumbag…for 20 years you had Obama and George W Bush’s DOJ go easy on this guy…they didn’t fully investigate the case… and now Donald J Trump is asking his DOJ to show full transparency and somehow that’s a criticism of Donald J Trump and not Barack Obama and and George W. Bush!” Vance said.
