MAGA Rages Over Lutnick’s Epstein Ties Amidst Broader Scandal
The article highlights MAGA’s discontent following President Trump’s State of the Union address, particularly concerning the prominent seating of Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, an admitted visitor to “Epstein Island” and a documented associate of Jeffrey Epstein. Many aligned with the president expressed outrage, viewing Lutnick’s presence as a dismissal of accountability for Epstein’s victims. The released Epstein files contradict Lutnick’s previous claims about the timeline of his association with the disgraced financier, revealing continued contact and financial ties well after he stated he had severed ties. This lack of mention of the Epstein files and the public display of Lutnick have fueled accusations of a “sadistic government” among some who previously supported Trump.
