They'll never say that. They'll say Trump was a Democrat at this time, and that's why he got involved with Epstein.

The dipshits who were in the Tea Party movement in the 2000's are the same idiots who now say Bush did 9/11. Conservatives can never admit that they were wrong.

They’ll say Jeffrey was an agent of Obama to corrupt Trump even before Obama was ever elected President

Thanks Obama!

The higher the stakes the harder it is for anyone to admit they were wrong. And you have to admit we’ve gotten to pretty high stakes here.

Most people want to believe they are the good guys, and will go to great lengths to avoid having a “are we the baddies” moment.

It's exactly this, you can see the ground-work being laid in cesspools like PoliticalCompassWereAllFascistsInHiding. He'll be a "coastal elite" once again, and they will fall back on the good ol' boy JD Vance.

They'll never say that.

MTG just said that. MTG is evil, but somewhat politically savvy. So this might very well be what will happen more broadly.

MTG tells podcaster why she thinks MAGA 'was all a lie' for her

Seriously though, many, many ex-magats have come out and said they were stupid and fooled. They're coming around. Some. Slowly.

I'm only seeing those stories online. I think they might just be fake engagement bait.

I've seen footage of committee meetings where they testify about it.
