At a Trump rally in Youngstown, OH, a woman in a “Release the Epstein Files” shirt interrupted the speech. A supporter punched her in the face, grabbed her hair, and slammed her toward the ground. Cops dragged her out while the assailant stayed and high-fived the crowd.
Trump called her a “paid protester,” “scum,” and a “fat guy” who needs to go on a diet.
Demanding accountability for pedophiles gets you assaulted at a Trump event. The files still aren’t fully released.

What are your thoughts on Universal health care?
Dr. Oz in Kansas! Great to have him in Atchison talking about something that matters to every Kansas family: lowering health care costs.
As two Doctors, we know firsthand how important it is for patients to understand the cost of their care. More transparency means better decisions, more competition, and more money back in families’ pockets.
Let me understand
The slush funds were used to quiet what legal actions should have done? Some tax payers were sexually assaulted and their contributions were used to silence the action?
🚨 BREAKING: The House has PASSED RepThomasMassie’s resolution to FORCE the release of names of Congressmen who used the Congressional slush fund to pay out for sexuaI misconduct settlements, 420-0
These are TAXPAYER DOLLARS being used to PAY OFF accusers.
And it’s all about to be public.
The Committee on Ethics must now preserve and public release all relevant records.
