23. Well, if it wasn't obvious before, it's certainly obvious now.

The cycle apparently goes: lots of Democrats do something --> they get no press for it --> AOC tweets the same thing -- it gets much more press --> fans post her tweet and/or article about her tweet here --> inevitably someone comes along and praises her while chastising other Democrats for not doing what they already did.



Jeffries has spoken out...

Ossoff said, "“Did anyone really think the sexual predator president who used to party with Jeffrey Epstein was gonna release the Epstein files?”

Khanna introduced an amended forcing Bondi to post all Epstein-related files to a public website within 30 days (which failed because of Republicans)...

When that amendment inevitably failed, Democratic House leaders then attached the amendment to a full vote in the House (which also failed because of Republicans)...

Van Hollen has put forth a measure to ensure all Epstein-related records are preserved...

Gallego has demanded that the Epstein list be released...

The House Majority PAC has called MAGA Republicans recent tax cuts and blocking the Epstein list as them protecting "the elite, powerful and well-connected."

The DNC tweeted, "“What is Trump hiding? Release the Epstein files" and created an account that posts messages each day reminding MAGA that Trump still has not released the Epstein files.

Veasey tweeted, "“Either (Trump) and his acolytes fueled the rumors of the significance of these Epstein files to help his campaign, or something is there! Put up or Shut up.”

Lieu tweeted, "Release the Epstein files. Trump is all over the Epstein files that have previously been released, from pictures to videos to plane logs to quotes to court filings. What is the Trump Administration hiding?"

Swalwell tweeted, "Why won’t House Republicans unearth the Epstein files that Trump buried?" and later tweeted, "This lady (Taylor Greene) and her colleagues won’t do shit about this. They voted last night to keep Epstein files from you. This tweet is just cheap talk. Time’s almost up for the GOP majority. A Democratic majority is coming and will unearth all that these co-conspirators have buried."

I could go on and on...

I look forward you to you praising all these Democrats for having already done what you demanded they do.
