On Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) said President Donald Trump was “losing his MAGA base” over the Jeffrey Epstein files.
Host Kristen Welker said, “I want to turn to another big issue, you are pushing for the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files. Your joint bill with Thomas Massie is going to come to a vote on the House floor. It’s expected to this week. Do you think you have enough votes for it to pass?”
Khanna said, “We do, and there’s nothing I have been prouder of or more meaningful than this work. The credit goes to the survivors. They’ll be at the Capitol on Tuesday in a press conference, Massie, myself and Representative Greene are doing. This was disgusting. Epstein had set up a rape island where rich men were abusing girls with impunity. There are thousands of victims, and rich and powerful men have buildings named after them, scholarships named after them, and this is not partisan; the Epstein class needs to go.”
Welker said, “Could you have a veto-proof majority?”
Khanna said, “I was hoping that and Donald Trump started to say he’ll unendorse people like Marjorie Taylor Greene so it’s basically Massie and me versus the White House. They’re calling members to the Situation Room. You know why Trump is losing his MAGA base on this? The reason he’s losing it is he ran saying, ‘There’s a corrupt governing elite that has shafted you,’ that ‘This is the Epstein class versus forgotten Americans, and I’m going to stand up for forgotten Americans. He’s forgotten those forgotten Americans. And we are saying that we are going to stand up for survivors, for America’s kids, and we’re going to hold this class accountable.”

Connect the dots Freepers. Massie is not what he pretends to be.
Isn’t Ro Khanna that bug eyed alien that used to fight the Justice League of America?
As if people in Washington are who they are supposed to be. Massie decided his Ego is important and he wont stand by success when self-serving is at stake.
And please tell me why Obama and Biden did nothing...
I’m waiting for Ro to get primary’d as his extreme views are far from Silicon Valley mainstream.
The president is not losing his MAGA base.
Another wet dream by the pieces of excrement who call themselves “democrats.”
right, the wall’s are closing in ...
Trump has perp walked them into the EPSTEIN trap. Then comes the rug pull and down they go looking like the imbeciles they are. And the Dems are going to have a lot of folks exposed on this dump. Read last week RO does a lot of stock trading so he should be investigated along with Pelosi an others who have benefitted while we the working class of America has had to put up with this crap
LEX
wishful thinking
Losing his base? The only men who went to Epstein Island were democrats.
No… no he’s not.
Another Democrat HOAX, where have we seen this before?
We got Trump this time.
A Democrat who pretends to speak for “MAGA”; yea, right!!!
Democrats LIE ABOUT EVERYTHING, EVERYTHING !!!
Because Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) has the best interests of the Republican Party at heart.
Honest!
Isn’t Ro Khanna the guy who pretends to be a moderate from time to time, or am I thinking of somebody else?
If these files were SO important to Khanna how come he NEVER released them when HIS party had them. Go ask Wray, Garland, and others in the Biden regime how come they never released them. They know full well what is in those files so same questions apply to them
Regardless, release them all. Let the chips fall where they they fall.
I think once everything comes out there are going to be A LOT of big name Dems(And maybe some GOP) big wigs in those files..and Trump wont be mentioned and he will come out and say “Told ya I wasnt in them”
