“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.”

    Three " ‘people’ " huh. That seem to suggest a lack of empathy towards anyone who applies a minimum amount critical thinking.

    No one should take a claim like that at face value, period. If there is some evidence for it then the burden of proof is on those who make the claim, not the other way around.

    Must be a part of that 20 percent to dehumanize anyone who questions you so easily. Maybe there is some truth to the claim after all.
