Ro Khanna: ‘Sad’ that Trump ‘Can’t Acknowledge’ the Stories of the Epstein Survivors

‘The rich and powerful people cannot be above the law’

EXCERPT:

KHANNA: “It‘s incredibly powerful. And, Erin, thank you for talking about what Haley and the survivors did. People give Thomas Massie and me the credit, but that‘s actually not true. It‘s actually the survivors who came twice to the Capitol who inspired the country, who got this moving, who have shown such courage. And they‘re being here, on the State of the Union, is a message to every young girl who has faced sexual assault or who has faced abuse, that we see you, we‘re going to fight for justice here. The rich and powerful people cannot be above the law. There are not two tiers of justice, and it‘s a moment of recognition. And that‘s why it‘s so sad to me as the president of the United States, he can‘t just acknowledge that moment and the bravery of people like Haley for being here telling their stories and fighting the fight they have.”
