“There was no integrity in that room today, it seems like, when it came to Epstein and Maxwell,” Teresa Helm said after Wednesday’s House Judiciary Committee hearing.

Six survivors of Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse and two members of another accuser’s family said they felt “degraded” during Wednesday’s contentious House Judiciary Committee hearing, at which Attorney General Pam Bondi refused to face them and apologize.

Several Epstein survivors and relatives were on Capitol Hill, where lawmakers grilled Bondi for over five hours about several matters, including the Justice Department’s handling of the Epstein case. She was specifically questioned about why released files were heavily redacted and why several survivors’ names were not.

“There was such a lack of empathy today. There was such a lack of, honestly, humanity today,” Dani Bensky said on NBC’s “Hallie Jackson NOW.”

    They have shown themselves to be utter frauds on the very single issue they pretended to care so much about.

    Blondi and Patel especially show how completely unserious the Republicans were about child sex-trafficking. They only showed lots of concern when lots of idiots fell for that Pizzagate/Qanon horseshit because they thought it would be the Democrats that are the perps.

    I keep asking - have the Republicans even met their own party? It’s full of Republicans. And they think the Democratic Party is going to have all the pervs?
