Well, folks, check this out. A bunch of Republicans just got exposed in front of the entire country for taking a bunch of money from wealthy people and billionaires and millionaires who are connected to none other than Jeffrey Epstein. They're being referred to as Epstein donors. Of course, the Republicans are doing this. They don't care about the issue. And it explains why so many of them were so opposed to releasing the Epstein files because many of the people in them were donating to their campaigns. And this is all just coming out right now. And of course, I want to start with none other than Susan Collins. The Republican Senator from Maine, who has been there for far too long,

she's running against Democrat Troy Jackson, who everybody should vote for. And The Daily Beast has the scoop. And battled Republican Senator blasted over Epstein donors. She is getting a lot of backlash publicly because the American people care. If the Republicans don't, the American people certainly do. Senator Susan Collins has accepted millions. That's right, millions in campaign cash from wealthy donors and powerful figures linked to Epstein, an awkward revelation as she fights to hold on to her Senate seat. Federal filings show that

Collins and her political committees have spent years taking money. So this is not just a recent thing. They've been doing it for years, taking money from people with ties to Epstein, including Jay Lefkowitz, the lawyer who helped secure Epstein's controversial 2008 plea deal. By the way, the prosecutor who gave him that deal was also somebody that worked in Donald Trump's administration. There are so many links here, and Trump ally Leon Black, who is named a lot in the Epstein files, who paid Epstein $158 million for tax, estate planning, and other related services. Interesting. Others with links to Epstein, including Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, Sports and Entertainment mogul, Casey Wasserman, and Palantir boss, Peter Thiel, have also donated to her campaign. The revelations opened

another front in the battle for Maine where Democrats see an opportunity to flip one of the country's most competitive seats. Isn't it just so interesting how in all of these Republican circles, there are so many connections to Epstein? There are so many. It is sickening. It is weird. It is enough to make your stomach churn. Notice how Barack Obama, Kamala Harris, Joe Biden, none of those people were in Epstein circle. None of those people were handing out, you know, sweetheart deals to Epstein. There's no connections there. All of these Republicans seem to have some form of connection. They're taking money from the donors. They were hanging out with him. They were parting with him. It's gross. After 30 years in D.C., Susan Collins has stopped fighting for Mainers and taken the side

of the billionaires and the Epstein class, said Misha Lehman, or Leanhan, a spokesperson for the main Democratic Party, quote, that's why she voted against releasing the Epstein files, and it's why Jeffrey Epstein's wealthy associates are funding her campaign. This is what Donald Trump has said about her. Republicans, when in doubt, vote the exact opposite of Senator Collins, generally speaking. He can't go wrong. Thanks for your attention to this matter. He and Senator Collins have had some beef over the years. That's why he's saying something like that. The Daily Beast reached out to Collins, a GOP veteran of three decades,

who occasionally ranks with Trump, only occasionally. Last week, for instance, she spoke out against the president's decision to ramp up another trade war with Canada, which borders Maine. But she's only doing this, of course, because she's up for re-election. If she weren't, she would be attending all of Donald Trump's fundraisers at Marlago and all that stuff. Remember, she voted for Donald Trump's Supreme Court nominees. All those people that are on the bench who overturned Rovi, Wade, she was a big fan of them then, big fan of them then. And of course, check this out.

Maybe this explains it. Collins voted to block the release of the Epstein files. This was all the way back in November of 2025. As the U.S. House gears up to vote on releasing the Epstein files, which of course, now we have some of them at least, Susan Collins made clear where she stands. Months ago, Collins voted to block an amendment demanding the release of the Epstein files, choosing to shield the files as Donald Trump faced ongoing scrutiny over his relationship with Epstein, it actually does explain a lot, like genuinely, because you have Leon Black in there who has been, I believe, labeled as a co-conspirator or an alleged co-conspirate at one point. He's donating to her campaign, and she seems to be dancing for him, you know, voting against

amendments to release the files and whatnot. But of course, Susan Collins is not the only one running for re-election who has some ties. They're named in the Epstein files, and they donated to Ken Paxson's campaign. MS now has a scoop here. At least one member of a Texas family whose business. once considered buying Epstein's plane, the Lolita Express, where people were abused on it, girls and women, donated thousands of dollars to support Ken Paxson set a campaign earlier this year. And of course, Susan Collins, Ken Paxson, they will not return these donations. They're

happy to take them and spend ads defending their record. The J-Fee family, known for its real estate holdings and aviation business base in Texas, appears in two batches of Epstein documents released by the DOJ, once for trying to buy Epstein's infamous plane and once for reportedly associating, according to an anonymous tipster, with scantily clad young women. At least one member of the family also donated upwards of $6,000 to groups supporting Ken Paxton after the Epstein files were released. They know what they're buying. They absolutely know what they're buying.

All of these Republican donors who are giving money to these Republican representatives, senators, you name it, they know what they're buying. They're buying compliance. They're buying their silence. They're buying putting their interests over the interest of the American people. It's what it is. That's why all these people have made their opposition to releasing the full batch of the Epstein files, very clear. And they've also spoken up in favor of Donald Trump in defense of Donald Trump and his handling of the files.

All of them have. It's gross. The Paxton campaign did not respond to a request for comment, including a question about whether it would return the money. A member of the family denied any wrongdoing to MS now during a phone call on Monday. And Doug Jaffe, the third, told MS now in an email early Tuesday morning that he had absolutely nothing to do with Epstein or the Epstein files, which is also not true. We know that not to be true. We've seen the documents. Quote, I never met Epstein, had no relationship or association with him and have no knowledge of the anonymous tip you reference, but they tried to buy the plane.

And according to an anonymous tipster, there was some connection. But in the Epstein files, Doug Jafee has mentioned in a 2020 anonymous tip call to the FBI at National Threat Operator. Center alleging possible trafficking. According to the caller in the early 2000s, he invited the caller to spend spring break with him and others at a villa in Mexico owned in part by his aunt. While there, the anonymous caller said they saw

as scandalously dressed a young girl and estimated her age as roughly 11 or 12. Ugh. Oh, man. Doug told the anonymous tipster that the girl was his niece, which she later found out was a lie, according to this anonymous tipster. And this guy has the,

nerve to say he had no association with him, no knowledge of the tip you referenced. He knows everything about that tip. He knows about the tip. He knows what was in the Epstein files. Let's be clear. And it's especially concerning that Ken Paxton is not returning this money, is willing to associate with the Epstein class because while he's been attorney general of Texas, he has let out some bad men who have done things similar to Epstein. Take a look at Talarico, I had to say. Ken Paxton, your opponent has taken to calling you Talafrico. Well, I think if Kim Paxton is worried about freaks, he should stop giving Epstein-style sweetheart deals to pedophiles. You know, this is the guy who just released Adam Hoffman from jail and admitted child rapist after one of Ken Paxton's wealthy lawyer friends got involved in the case.

Ken Paxton even kept him off the sex offender registry. Adam Hoffman was supposed to serve 25 years to life, but instead he served less than a month. as of this week, he's now back on our streets because of Ken Paxton's corruption. Ken Paxton is the most corrupt politician in America, and it is costing Texans. It's endering our children, and it must end. I think the Epstein class has no place in Texas, and this November, we're going to come together to defeat Ken Paxton and take back our state for the people. Man, I really hope Talarico wins. I mean, of course I hope Talarico wins.

he's a Democrat running against a Republican, but he is so well spoken and, you know, so on top of the facts, you know what I mean? And he just prosecutes the case against these Republicans so well. And he's absolutely right. Like, we just can't have that. We can't accept this anymore. All of these Republican senators taking money from these Epstein donors and then in their political positions, they're like handing out sweetheart deals to people like Epstein.

No. Texas does not deserve that. And whether you're a Republican Democrat, whatever, I think most people, you're a Republican, would agree that that is wrong. And of course, it's not just Kempaxson, not just Susan Collins. There's another one. Yes. Yes, this is like a thing in the Republican Party. Ashley Hinson took thousands of dollars from donors named in the Epstein files while declining to force their release. U.S. Representative Ashley Hinson accepted nearly $90,000 from billionaires who appear in the Epstein files, according to a new report. That includes $30,500, while she declined

to sign the petition that would ultimately force the files release. Yes, that's right. Representative Ashley Hinson, a Republican, she is, you know, just part of it. She's part of it just like the other Republicans are. It's really gross. It's really, really gross. And the American people aren't buying it. You know, Donald Trump's lies on the Epstein files, the Republicans' justification on the Epstein files. Like, take a look at some of this polling. These numbers are not good for the Republicans and the people who take money from the Epstein donors. Yeah, I would say that the word is dissatisfied. That is how Americans feel in terms of the releases so far of the Epstein case. Take a look here. Epstein case.

Amount of info release. The winner here, 50% dissatisfied. Doesn't matter, 29%, not heard enough 17%. But look at the bottom of your screen. The percentage that are satisfied is just 3%. That's one, that's two, that is just 3%. I feel like the count on Sesame Street. Just 3% of Americans are satisfied so far with the amount of information release. The clear winner in this particular case is 50%. Half of the public is dissatisfied, at least so far. And are you seeing a big difference between how Republicans and Democrats are viewing this? No, and that I think is kind of the interesting sort of nugget in what's going on here.

You see this 50% dissatisfied, and let's break it down by party. Okay, Epstein County's amount of info released. Look at this. You get 43% of lean GOP, that's Republicans and independents who lean towards the Republican party who are dissatisfied. Look at this. Just 4% satisfied? My goodness gracious, when you only have 4% that is with Donald Trump on a particular issue,

that is ridiculously low. I've never seen anything quite like it. How about lean Democrat? 60% dissatisfied. Compare that to 3% who are satisfied. Again, 4%, 3% Republican Democrat, you rarely ever see this type of agreement. Now, of course, there's another divide in American politics, one that has increased over the past few decades, and that is whites with a college degree, whites without a college degree.

But in this particular case, we see agreement. What are we talking about this? Epstein case, amount of info release dissatisfied, 55% of white college graduates and 53 of white non-college graduates, Donald Trump's historic base. Yet the majority are dissatisfied. Isn't that something? So all these Republican politicians, Susan Collins, Ken Paxson, they all should maybe think twice about taking this money.

And I hope, I hope for the American people's sake. I just hope for everybody's sake. I don't care if you're a Democrat, Republican, independent. And I hope for all of our sakes that these people lose because they should. We shouldn't accept this anymore. So look, I will leave the video there. Thank you so much for watching.
