Ocasio-Cortez: “We Need Answers” Over Epstein’s Suicide — “Lots Of Them”

For perhaps the first time this year, I find myself in full agreement with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. The circumstances of Jeffrey Epstein’s apparent suicide seem very strange indeed, so much so that it raises all sorts of questions as to what happened, how, and especially why:

Ocasio-Cortez is hardly the only person demanding answers either, as Epstein’s victims have been robbed of their opportunity for justice. Epstein wasn’t just some minor figure sitting in a local lockup who had never sent out any signals of potential self- (or other-directed-) harm. “He was probably the most high-profile inmate” in federal custody in that facility, CNN’s Shimon Prokupecz reminded viewers, one who had apparently attempted suicide once before. Why wasn’t Epstein under 24-hour watch? Paul Callan wonders the same thing:

“It raises a lot of questions in a lot of people’s minds,” CNN’s anchor comments at the end. Indeed it does. This is precisely what “suicide watch” is intended to prevent. Epstein’s victims deserved their day in court against the predator who exploited him, and also their day in court against anyone else who joined in that exploitation. If NBC’s correct, then someone needs to explain why the suicide watch was cancelled on Epstein — including who ordered it and why.

Matt Gaetz is saying the same thing.

You cant handle the truth. That being, you are just a two bit street hustler in DC baby.

If she pushes it and gets her way a lot of power players will be at risk and look at her as one of the reasons. Think about it.

I’d rather try to find the answers to AOC’s suicide. She’s just so crazy a commie bitch that if she loses her seat in 2020, she will kill herself just to get back at the voters who rejected her. “So there, take that”!
