Kennedy Responds To Media Report
Oh, here we go again — the media’s favorite parlor trick: take a decades-old photo of someone standing in the same room as Jeffrey Epstein and scream “Gotcha!” as if that’s some kind of smoking gun. And wouldn’t you know it, it’s The Daily Beast leading the charge, which is about as surprising as finding gators in a Florida swamp.
This time, their target is Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who — gasp — was photographed at a 1994 art gala attended by Epstein.
They’ve also dredged up the fact that Kennedy admitted to taking a couple of flights on Epstein’s plane back before the man’s monstrous behavior was public knowledge.
Oh, and they breathlessly report that Kennedy’s late wife once had “links” with Ghislaine Maxwell. Cue the ominous music.
Here’s the problem: this is all ancient history, and none of it connects Kennedy — or Trump, for that matter — to Epstein’s crimes. None. But that doesn’t stop the press from playing this cracked-out game of “Where’s Waldo,” combing through old event photos like they’re solving the Lindbergh kidnapping.
Kennedy himself has been upfront. He said flat-out in a 2023 Fox News interview that he was on Epstein’s plane twice, about 30 years ago, and was never alone with the guy. He also correctly pointed out that this was before anyone knew about Epstein’s “nefarious issues.”
That’s called context, something The Daily Beast and its ilk conveniently leave out because it doesn’t feed their little narrative machine.
And let’s not pretend this is some bombshell revelation. Rich people in the ’90s went to the same fundraisers, parties, and galas. Trump, Kennedy, Weinstein, Epstein — they were all orbiting the same elite social circles. That’s not proof of a criminal conspiracy; it’s proof of how Manhattan society worked.
But when the DOJ sits on the Epstein files and the media has nothing new to report, what do they do? They slap up a photo from 30 years ago, sprinkle in some creepy names, and try to reheat the leftovers into a scandal. It’s the same strategy they used with the Russian collusion hoax — take nothing, spin it into something, and hope the public swallows it.
