From Fundraisers to Finger Wagging:  Congress, Epstein, and the Theater of Fake Outrage

From Fundraisers to Finger Wagging: Congress, Epstein, and the Theater of Fake Outrage

The new wave of outrage from lawmakers over Jeffrey Epstein is less a moral awakening than a stage play. For years, these same politicians happily accepted his money, attended his events, and ignored survivors’ pleas. Now, with the cameras rolling, they’ve reinvented themselves as crusaders for justice. Their speeches are choreographed performances — complete with dramatic pauses and crocodile tears — designed to look like courage but reeking of political survival. Survivors don’t need applause lines or hashtags; they needed action years ago, when it might have made a difference.

What we’re really watching is hypocrisy in motion. The very people who enabled Epstein’s influence machine now use outrage as a costume to launder their reputations. They hope the public will forget the donations, the fundraisers, and the Rolodex connections, but the record doesn’t disappear just because they suddenly discovered empathy. This isn’t justice, it’s theater — and if they believe they can posture without being called out, they’ve underestimated how much the audience has been paying attention.
