'MAGA media in shambles' as it struggles to protect Trump

George Bush speechwriter and podcaster Tim Miller says MAGA Media “is in shambles as they're trying to circle the wagons around President Donald Trump following the … Epstein revelations.”

“You know, these folks are just grasping for anything to try to defend Trump when even in the most generous interpretation of events, he had wildly inappropriate relationship with the country's most notorious child sex trafficker, was around young women and girls — apparently, according to one of the emails — that [Epstein] was sexually abusing and trafficking, and that when he got a chance to reveal and publicize the other people who were complicit in this, he decided to cover it up,” said Miller.

Miller referenced a recent “News Nation” interview between Megyn Kelly and guest Batya Ungar-Sargon where she downplayed the allegations against Epstein.

“We have not seen some slew of young women come forward to say ‘me too’ on Donald Trump molesting them or having paid for sex with them when they were barely legal or otherwise. It just hasn't happened,” Kelly told Ungar-Sargon in replayed footage.

But Miller dismantled this argument, pointing out that he himself had interviewed Epstein victim Stacey Williams who claimed to have been groped by Trump.

“Being led into Donald's office to be groped by him was bad enough, and I probably was young enough and confused enough where maybe I was still questioning [what was happening],” Williams said. Miller included a link to that interview.

“Where have you been, Megyn Kelly? There were at least 28 women have accused Donald Trump of various acts of sexual misconduct, including rape, kissing and groping without consent. ‘You can do anything. Whatever you want. Grab ‘em by the p——,' looking under women's skirts, and yes, walking in on naked teenage pageant contestants,” Miller said.

Ungar-Sargon didn’t push back, on Kelly's claim, but instead pushed the argument that Epstein pushed his victims onto Trump and friend.

“[A] lawyer for a group of the women actually said Jeffrey Epstein would prey upon women when they were underage, … and then the lawyer said when they came of age and he was no longer interested in them, he would then pass them on,” Ungar-Sargon told Kelly.

“Sure,” said Miller. “… [W]hat was happening with these young girls was that Jeffrey Epstein was abusing them and molesting them. And then when they became 18, he would pass them off to his friends. And these sex-trafficked and groomed girls would give ... sexual massages to creepy old men who were friends with a sex trafficker. That's the spin now. That's where they're at. That's where MAGA world is. Here's our pretty picture that we'll paint on this.”

But Miller rolled out photos of Epstein victims Tila Davis and Jenna Lisa Jones, as well as Michelle Licata, (age 16) and Jennifer Araz.

“Araz was recruited at 14, assaulted at 15, and she looks like a baby,” said Miller, who then showed a photo of victim Courtney Wilde.

“If you're sitting across from them on this plane and then somebody looked over to you and was like, ‘he's … having sex with her,’ nobody would look at that and say, ‘well, it seems passably illegal.’ You would call the authorities immediately," Miller said.

“It's like looking at a Maxim magazine,” Miller said, referencing a photo collage of victims. “It's just sick. This is what Donald Trump has done to these people. He's made them sick in the brain. They can no longer have enough clarity … to be able to say, ‘you know what? I don't need to debase myself like this for this mushroom d——, f—— piece of s—— in the White House.’”

“We don't know exactly what Donald Trump's role was, but the fact that Donald Trump has been accused of sexual assault many, many times is on the public record,” said Miller. “The fact that he bragged about it is on the public record. The fact that he's trying to cover this up is something we all know. Who would want to cover up what happened to these girls?”
