Right-wing Commentators Who Speak Against Trump Due to Epstein Files Scandal
In a surprising turn of events, several conservative commentators and right-wing voices have criticised President Donald Trump over the Jeffrey Epstein files controversy, expressing distrust in his administration's handling of the matter.
Laura Loomer, known for her strong MAGA alignment, has been a vocal critic of Attorney General Pam Bondi, blaming the lack of transparency and results from the Department of Justice for harming the GOP’s political prospects. Megyn Kelly, a conservative commentator who campaigned for Trump in 2024, has also condemned Bondi's handling of the Epstein case and expressed skepticism about the administration’s transparency.
At the recent Turning Point USA conference, Fox host Laura Ingraham highlighted dissatisfaction in the conservative crowd over the Epstein investigation. The audience's loud boos when asked if they were satisfied with the results illustrate the growing discontent. Charlie Kirk, co-founder of Turning Point USA and a prominent conservative voice, initially appeared to side with critics but later said he spoke with Trump, who reaffirmed his support for Bondi and wanted to move past the controversy.
Notably, House Speaker Mike Johnson has publicly called for the Department of Justice to release all files related to Jeffrey Epstein, advocating for greater transparency despite Trump’s defensive stance and accusations against Democrats.
The situation has escalated significantly, according to conservative commentator Benny Johnson. Nick Fuentes, a white supremacist and outspoken supporter of Trump, has even declared that MAGA is dead due to Trump's claims that the Epstein files are a Democrat hoax. Liz Wheeler, a conservative political commentator, has stated that Trump is misreading his base on the Epstein issue and it could cost him the midterms.
President Trump has asked the MAGA base to let the Epstein issue go and leave Attorney General Pam Bondi alone on Truth Social. However, this request has not stopped the criticism. Evan Kilgore, a MAGA influencer, has expressed feeling betrayed and declared the death of Donald Trump's legacy due to the Epstein issue.
InfoWars host Alex Jones has expressed concern that Trump's actions could harm himself and his administration, and has urged the release of the Epstein files. Elon Musk, in response to Billy Markus, has agreed that the Epstein files should be released as promised.
However, the list related to Epstein has not been released, which has led to continued criticism from many people. The nation and world, according to Alex Jones, are in danger due to Trump's handling of the Epstein issue. Mike Cernovich, a right-wing influencer, has also told Trump that no one is believing the Epstein coverup and there's still time to change it.
This rift in conservative opinion illustrates a growing divide, with some continuing to support Trump and his allies, while others demand more openness and accountability regarding the Epstein case and criticize the administration’s approach as politically damaging.
