I wonder if you think that this is actually something that could be a salient issue in the midterms or if you think that it fits some larger frame about just mistrust in government and an attempt by Democrats to kind of grab that mantle back. Yeah, I really appreciate the question. I think in this moment what we are all learning as we continue to do our town halls and show up in districts or parts of our district that voted more uh to the right more voters in those places. What we're hearing from those thos ...

MSNBC· 2025-07-17 19:51
Public Perception & Trust - The MAGA movement's supporters feel alienated when their long-held beliefs are dismissed as "stupid" or they are "excommunicated" for questioning [3][4] - Dismissing the Jeffrey Epstein case as a "hoax" could lead people to question the validity of other claims made by the same source [5][6] - Transparency regarding the Epstein case has been a significant concern within the MAGA movement for years [3] Political Strategy & Communication - The handling of the Epstein matter by the administration is a key point of discussion [1] - Certain figures within the MAGA movement, including those with podcasts, actively promoted interest in the Epstein case from 2020 to 2024 [3] - There's a perceived inconsistency in suddenly telling people to "move along" after years of emphasizing the importance of the Epstein case [4]

MAGA MELTDOWN: GOP breaks with Trump over Epstein files
MSNBC· 2025-07-16 19:09
But I don't understand why the Jeffrey Epste would be of interest to anybody. It's pretty boring stuff. It's sorted, but it's boring. And I don't understand why it keeps going. Uh I I think really only pretty bad people, including fake news, want to keep something like like that going. But credible information, let them give it. Anything that's credible, I would say let them have it. Also calling for more clarity is House Speaker Mike Johnson, who pressed the administration for more visibility on the case. ...

He can't fire Pal and Powell has said that he will not allow himself to be fired because the law protects Pal uh from being fired. So this is just Trump upset that he cannot uh you know control somebody who is supposed to otherwise be independent and and so ...

Or alternatively, Donald Trump, Pam Bondi, and his allies in the Trump administration are hiding something from the American people right now.So, we're determined to get to the bottom of thi ...
