While the MAGA backlash against the Epstein Cover-up continues, the party elites — including Trump allies and some key MAGA influencers — are now circling the wagons to protect not only Donald Trump, but all of the other rich and powerful men whose names (and, potentially, video-taped exploits) appear in the Epstein Files.

As news broke Tuesday that Trump was sending Deputy AG Todd Blanche (the criminal lawyer who waged Trump's unsuccessful defense against 34 felony charges in the Stormy Daniels "cover-up" case) to talk to Epstein accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell, it became obvious that the GOP's "cover-up of the cover-up" was underway.
Also Tuesday, Speaker Mike Johnson, a Russian-financed Republican (who may or may not be subject to blackmail based on his own history of "adopting" a Black boy while a 20-something anti-gay singleton in Louisiana) who just four days ago called for "maximum transparency" on Epstein, announced that Republicans hoping to vote to RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES would have to cool their jets until at least September.

By now, it's clear that the GOP is embracing its status as the "Rapeublican Party," fully committed to protecting powerful pedophiles and looking the other way as groomers and child rapists exploit children by the thousands.
It's not just Trump and Matt Gaetz and "Gym Jordan" anymore. In the age of Trump, the rot goes far deeper. And the enablers are multiplying.
In Trump's first term, GOP Chairwoman Ronna McDaniels jettisoned any semblance of "family values" as she rallied support for Trump, a man already well known for his longtime friendships with sex traffickers and child rapists including Jeffrey Epstein, John Casablancas, George Nader and others.
In Trump 2.0, Pam Bondi, Kash Patel, Dan Bongino, and Alina Habba have joined a growing list of Trump allies who have abandoned the MAGA faithful — and their own past promises to reveal the truth — in a transparent ploy to protect Trump at all costs.
The party of "Christian family values" now actively promotes sex with teenagers
While Republicans have spent the last few years focused on the "Epstein Files" and falsely portraying drag queens and even school teachers as "groomers" and "pedophiles," both elected Republicans and voices in the conservative manosphere have suggested that young girls should welcome the opportunity to become the earthen vessel for their godly seed.
The idea that children should become less informed about sexuality and their bodies just happens to coincide with an aggressive new movement among conservative men to suggest that teenage girls should serve as their sexual playthings, that child marriage is acceptable, that marital rape cannot happen, and that the goal of the white Christian male is to control a submissive wife whose function in life is to be an "earthen vessel" for the production of future children.
Epstein associate Alan Dershowitz, the lawyer who negotiated the 2008 Florida plea deal that protected the full Epstein Client list from potential prosecution, has argued since the 1990s that the age of consent should be lowered and that adult men should be able to have sex with girls as young as 15.
He's so committed to that idea that he doubled down on his advocacy for that position in June 2025.

The idea of older men marrying and impregnating girls as young as 16 has also been promoted by the likes of far-right extremists including Nick Fuentes and Matt Walsh.

Since Roe v. Wade was overturned in 2022, the GOP has argued that child rape victims as young as ten should be forced to give birth.
As the hypocrisy of the GOP's "anti-groomer" shrieking grew ever more obvious, I wrote in October 2023:
Republicans are simply faking concern about child sexual abuse for political reasons, while doing nothing concrete to protect children from the active sexual predators within their own party.
Meanwhile, the party's support for sex with teenagers keeps getting louder.
By October 2024, the Legal Talk Network podcast noted that "the Republican Party of the 1990s must be turning over in its grave because the modern GOP is arguing teen pregnancy is a good thing."
Just yesterday, an old Trump interview with Howard Stern resurfaced in which Trump, then 60, bragged about his ability to bed young women.
“Do you think you could now be banging 24-year-olds,” Stern asked.
“Oh, absolutely,” Trump responded “I have no trouble.”
Asked to provide an acceptable age limit, Trump appeared to suggest that he'd be open to sex with teenagers, saying:
“I don’t want to be... with, you know, 12-year-olds.”
In July 2025, with the whole country focused on Trump's longtime, joined-at-the-hip friendship with the world's most notorious child sex trafficker, the Trump administration is going to ridiculous lengths to distract its base with catnip that has long since passed its expiration date.
Hillary eating babies is probably not the right button to press. But her emails, anybody?
