On November 20, 2025, Jesse Watters sat down with independent journalist Matt Taibbi and aired what many Americans already suspect: the Jeffrey Epstein saga has metastasized into a perpetual political cudgel. Taibbi called the current frenzy a familiar pattern of moral mania, and Watters bluntly warned that the story will be weaponized no matter what former President Trump or anyone else does. That is exactly the point—this is not about justice for victims so much as it is about power, headlines, and destroying reputations.
Taibbi’s critique of the media’s role should be a wake-up call to conservatives who have been lectured to for years about “trusting the experts.” The same outlets that buried inconvenient facts yesterday are now shrieking for blood today, and they do so with zero consistency and plenty of political motive. If journalists want credibility, they must stop chasing narratives and start reporting facts instead of feeding fever swamps.
Make no mistake: the left’s sudden zeal on Epstein reeks of opportunism. When it was politically inconvenient to look, many in the media looked away; now that it serves an agenda, the story is promoted as the only story that matters. That kind of selective outrage is corrosive to real justice and it cheapens the suffering of victims by turning their trauma into a partisan weapon.
Meanwhile, honest Americans deserve answers, not theater. We should demand full transparency from institutions that still refuse to turn over records, while respecting the privacy and dignity of victims. Conservatives should stand for both the rule of law and the victims who have been ignored for years, insisting that investigations be thorough, apolitical, and public.
It is also time to stop letting allegations become the same as convictions in the court of public opinion. President Trump and other public figures are routinely dragged through mud by innuendo and selective leaks, and too many presumed guilty before a single charge was proved. Conservatives must push back against that mob mentality while supporting real accountability where the evidence is clear.
Congress and honest prosecutors can do what cable show tantrums cannot: subpoena documents, protect witnesses, and pursue criminals regardless of their party or wealth. If the swamp resists, then voters should remember who protected secrecy and who demanded the truth at every turn. That kind of institutional courage is what will restore faith in our system, not endless cable hysteria.
Working Americans are sick of the elites playing games with their lives and reputations. If you believe in justice, demand it equally for all, and refuse to let partisan media mobs dictate which stories matter and which people are forever ruined by rumor. Stand tall, tell the truth, and make those in power earn the public’s trust again.
