    I love that apparently no one in the comments actually wanted to listen to the clip. I only came to the comments to find someone quoting him because I don’t want to listen to his voice either

    Here is what he said:

    “I run into everybody in New York. I mean, I knew Harvey Weinstein, I knew Roger Ailes, I knew- OJ Simpson came to my house. Bill Cosby came to my house.”

    His excuse is he hangs out with a lot of rapists

      And just how casually that comes out, too.

      I’ve actually never heard him speak until this video, and his voice is exactly as I imagined, he sounds like he’s an 8-pack a day smoker.

    Defending being friends with an appalling bastard on the grounds that you are friends with all the appalling bastards, right?

    “A man is known by the company that he keeps”

    Seems to me this guy is a sexual predator, seeing as he hung out with so many.

    Trump really wanted RFK Jr on staff. Trump has never spoken ill of him either. Just like he has never spoken ill of Maxwell or Epstein. Just wanted to point that out.

      Well if the people responsible for adjudicating such crimes are too chickenshit, there’s not really any reason for them not to wear their shame on their lapels.

      Especially when it seems to galvanize their base, rather than repel it.

    Look, Epstein wasn’t that fun of a guy to hang out with, he was a bit of a creep, but the chicks he would bring over… man, those were the days.

    I’m imagining he said something like that?

      It was more like: “sure, I invited Epstein to my house, but you should see all the other rapists I’ve been inviting to my house. [Lists off a few names.] Raping children is widespread in New York.” I’m not even paraphrasing that much.

    Epstein had money and influence and hung out with other people who had money and influence. It’s really not much deeper than that.

    Clinton - Trump - Kennedy - etc - etc - etc

    Money and influence all the way down.
