The Epstein Files

Matt Gagnon criticizes the political focus on the Epstein files, arguing it distracts from more pressing issues like housing, healthcare, and debt. He believes the files contain nothing significant, as decades of investigations would have leaked any damning evidence. Gagnon accuses both Democrats and Republicans of using the Epstein story to further their agendas. He compares the situation to the Catholic sex scandals and the slush fund for Congressional sexual harassment payouts. Gagnon emphasizes that the real issues, such as the country’s financial and social problems, are being ignored while politicians engage in political theater.
