‘You don’t care the president might be a pedophile?’: GOP advisor stuns panel with remarks
Republican strategist Angie Wong stunned CNN’s “Table for Five” Saturday after insisting that “real American voters” don’t care about Jeffrey Epstein and his deep connections to powerful figures, including President Donald Trump. President Donald Trump made a stunning announcement Friday that he would be asking his attorney general to launch a new investigation into Epstein’s ties with several prominent Democratic figures, a response to the outcry of calls for the Trump administration to release files it holds on Epstein. Those calls intensified this week after the House Oversight Committee released a trove of new files that included several new revelations about Trump’s past ties with Epstein. As to why Democratic lawmakers have been among the loudest voices calling for the Justice Department to release its files on Epstein, Wong said it was merely a way to recover after the recent government shutdown, which she described as a “major loss” for Democrats.“Because Democrats just had a major loss with the government shutdown and we need to change the narrative, we need to flip it back onto the Epstein files? Really, guys?” Wong said on the panel. “We’re going to recycle something that’s been dead for so long? No one cares about this stuff! Real American voters, we care about affordability and other real things, not about Epstein!”Journalist and podcaster Touré Neblett, also a guest on Saturday’s panel, clapped back at Wong for her suggestion that Americans didn’t care about what files on Epstein might reveal about America’s most powerful figures.“That’s kind of a bizarre position. You don’t care that the president might be a pedophile?” Neblett asked. Moderating the discussion, CNN’s Kate Bolduan jumped in the discussion in an apparent effort to shield her network from civil liability, claiming that “there’s no evidence of that at all” in reference to Neblett’s comments. Neblett, however, didn’t let up.“To say that nobody cares is kind of absurd!” he said. “If the president is a pedophile, we should know about it and people would care about that!””You don’t care that the president might be a pedophile?”GOP strategist @angiewong stuns journalist @Toure for insisting that “real American voters” don’t care about Epstein. pic. twitter. com/jn8CIP2Pb5- Alexander Willis (@ReporterWillis) November 15, 2025.
