Why no protests against sex trafficking?

Protests against police brutality and racism, sparked by the violent death of George Floyd at the hands of a police officer, continue to roil the US. But why haven’t new revelations in the saga of infamous pedophile Jeffrey Epstein and his well-connected, sinister milieu sparked the same popular outcry and nationwide movement for justice? Scottie Nell Hughes and her expert guests examine the question.

First, RT America’s Natasha Sweatte explains the ongoing uprising in Portland, Oregon and how originally peaceful protests escalated to vandalism, arson, and violent confrontations with police. President Trump called, and has since withdrawn, federal agents in a so-far unsuccessful bid to restore order. Then Ted Harvey of the Committee to Defend the President shares his insights.

Then RT America’s John Huddy explains the recent 2024-page release of documents pertaining to the trial of accused sex trafficker and rapist Ghislaine Maxwell, former associate of Epstein. Then “Eat the Press” host Steve Malzberg and Lionel of Lionel Media discuss the implications of Maxwell’s trial and explore the mainstream media’s muted reaction to the sordid and continuing saga of Epstein and his circle.
