"It’s fun for #MAGA to pretend to go after imaginary — or, in #Epstein’s case, dead — rapists. But when it comes to real-life sexual predators, especially if they’re privileged white men, MAGA knows what to do: Deny, defend, minimize and protect. They’ve been doing this on #Trumps behalf for a decade now, and his defensive behavior around Epstein was a signal that they should go into shield-the-dirtbag mode."
