Fox News host: Trump’s comments about Jeffrey Epstein ‘are horrifying’
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
Fox News host Melissa Francis on Tuesday blasted President Donald Trump for his remarks about financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Trump told New York Magazine in 2002 that he had known Epstein for 15 years.
“Terrific guy,” he told the magazine. “He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it — Jeffrey enjoys his social life.”
Speaking to reporters in the White House on Tuesday, Trump said that he was not a fan of Epstein.
“I knew him like everybody in Palm Beach knew him. People in Palm Beach knew him. He was a fixture in Palm Beach. I had a falling out with him a long time ago. I don’t think I’ve spoken to him for 15 years. I was not a fan,” the president told reporters.
Reacting to his comments, Francis said Trump had failed to clean up his previous praise of the accused sex trafficker.
“Trying to put on the record, I guess it was, that they had some huge falling out and they haven’t been friends 15 years. I don’t know why he would address this at all, especially in this setting. It seems unwise,” she remarked.
“Obviously, there are these older comments surfacing that have been everywhere, of him saying that they both liked women, comments that have been requoted and are horrifying in the light of day now given what’s going on with Epstein.”
“But I don’t know that this was the right place or time or way to try and clean that up. Especially when you’re connecting it with Acosta. There needs to be a massive investigation into what happened there and if there was corruption afoot,” Francis added.

The noose is tightening. Trump is going down on all front. Even his choice for the Attorney General has his dirty paws tied up in this Scandal, as, does a Cabinet pick, Acosta.
, "We are known by the company we keep", how true it rings.
Then there is Felix Sater, a friend of Trump, who served time for a similar charge. Trump claimed that he didn't know Sater, even though Felix lease an apartment in Trump Towers, and work in the office of Bayrock which was house in Trump Towers.
The number of Child Sex Perverts that know Trump is growing.
Ahh, the old maxim
Nope !
What's Okay for one president, it's okay for the other. It just makes sense.
Ya just can't have it both ways though, no matter how hard one tries !
I'm sure their are flight logs out their for the "Lolita express" showing the whose who of whose !
Trump could possibly dig into the "Sex Account" all the other politicians have access to. Would save him some time.
Nevertheless, Trump is involved with having sex with underage girls, and, he has been accused of raping two of them. One as young as 12, the other 13. The incidents have taken place in his BF's Jeffrey Epstein's Penthouse in NYC.
All of these perverts should go down.
Especially, this CRIMINAL in the Whitehouse.
Waaaaaay to late for that kind of outrage after the "Billy Clinton" exoneration by the public.
Bills a whore, and the crowd excuses it.....still !

Two of Trump's cabinet members, and his Attorney Mouthpiece, Rudi Guiliani, is showing up in photos partying with Jeff Epstein, Trump's BF.

MORE BAD NEWS FOR DUMP!
She claims that she was RAPED by Trump at a party at his BF, Jeffrey Epstein, fellow billionaire's PENTHOUSE.
Will Trump go down with Epstein?
I doubt it. He's too busy going down on Epstein.
Apparently, Trump was all up in Epstein's SHIT too !
Jeffrey Epstein turned Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago into another of his hunting grounds for young girls, leading Trump to bar him from the Florida resort, court papers claim.
“ Trump allegedly banned Epstein from his Maralago Club in West Palm Beach because Epstein sexually assaulted a girl at the club,” according to the papers, filed in the Sunshine State as part of an ongoing legal battle between Epstein and Bradley Edwards , who represented many of Epstein’s underage accusers in civil suits against him.
The filing is dated April 2011, well before Trump ascended to the presidency.
As far as Trump, claims and accusations mean nothing legally and you know it. When the man is officially charged, tried, and convicted in a court of law, get back to us. Tried in the court of public opinion like you keep trying to do means nada, zip!
Trump has used his powers of wealth to "skirt" the CofC of the United States Laws for 50 years. Like many, too, many NYC Mafia criminals, the "Don" has hidden behind a slew of high priced attorneys that threaten witnesses, tie defendants up in litigations for decades, and, send enforcers to accusers to "Threaten" them.
Three separate times, the two women who sued Trump for raping them when they were 12 and 13 years at Jeffrey Epstein's Penthouse, have petitioned the courts. A judge, a FEDERAL JUDGE, reviewed the evidence, and, believed that it was solid enough to schedule an official attorney's meeting in her federal court.
These plaintiffs and, their witnesses have withdrawn their witnesses (former employees of Jeffrey Epstein) fearing for their lives from the multiple DEATH THREATS withdrew or withdrawn their complaints.
This is a long-standing tactic of NYC MOBSTERS.
For decades, Michael Cohen's Uncle, the infamous, "Mickey Cohen" was known as the "Mob's Mouth Piece".
He eventually lost his licenses to practice law, was convicted as "a child sex predator", and died from aides.
He was also Trump's attorney representing him and the NYC mafia on joint-projects involving the head of the NYC Mafia and Trump.
Trump, his Father, and Grand Father are all CRIMINAL BUSINESSMEN.
Trump is not who you think he is.
More like raw sewage
Trump did not come to "drain the swamp", he came to drain the treasury.
Steve "Shultz" Schmit has been advocating against Republicans ever since he got a job on Morning Joe !
It's all about the money for him.
No, Schultz is a Big R Republican who is disgusted by Trump's immortality...
Unlike small r republicans in the gop finding nothing wrong with paedophilia
He's been against every Republican since 2009, especially those that aren't John McCain like in his mind.
"Your no John McCain" !
It Is Me, the Republican Party, like the Democrat Party changes with the membership, and its newer leaders. At times for the good, and, at other times for the worse.
From the 1970s through the '80s, the Democrat Party, in my view, had become the party of special interests, Unions, corporate party hacks, etc.
The Republican Party, in my few, took a turn for the worst with Reagan, who I voted and worked for vigorously believing that he was a good leader, with proven success as a two-term governor of California.
Reagan was, also, head of the largest unions in California for decades, the Screen Actors Guild, and had been successful as an actor, sports anchor, and spokesperson for GE.
Compared to President Carter, he appeared to be just what the country needed.
History has shown that he, too, was a flawed man. But, unlike Trump, "Ronnie" was not a CORRUPT, lying son-of-a-bi-otch.
Currently, in my view, the REPUBLICAN PARTY is under the tump of the Koch Brothers from Kansas, and, approximately six billionaires who are all in it for themselves.
It is time to recognize that the Democrat Party is not the same one as in the 1960s, it has evolve and is the one that is standing up to this "wannabe DICTATOR", illegally installed in the WH with the aid of our ADVERSARY - Russia.
In NYC's business community, it is well known that Trump is a Con Man, tied to NYC Mobster, who was bailed out financially in the late 80s by Barclay, an American firm, owned by a RUSSIAN OLIGARCH, a former KGB officers, with close ties to Putin.
This is the REALITY OF OUR TIME!
The Koch Brothers are independents. They "Swing" both ways. Didn't you know that ?
Riddle me this ----- Does the economy Suck for you right now ?
That's the True thing the Majority ALWAYS looks at.
Not some moronic "SwishyWashy" crap as being put out by the "Left" running for president now.
Do you need that much guidance as is being touted by the "Left" right now ?
No, the economy is good for me right now. The available jobs are minimum wage jobs that workers cannot live on.
The country is controlled by billionaires, and, our government is run by THIEVES.
Plus, approximately 1/3 of registered voters believe that TRUMP is "a good man".
I luv when someone says "Can't Live on" !
What does it take to live on anyway ?
So many factors involved …. wouldn't you say.
Some like living "Off the grid", some are "minimalists", some are "middle of the road Payers", and some want ALL the pie in the sky Billionaires have.
And now we're at the "Places" thing. Some Places cost more to live in than others. If you choose to live in a place where a 900 S.F. home costs a million bucks, YOUR FUCKING PROBLEM. If you choose to live in a place where a 2000 S.F. home costs 100 grand.....Your Great. Now don't expect to be able to afford that 100 grand home working at McDonalds as a burger cooker. That's one Dumb Shit that thinks like that. Those folks need to look into "Communes". They're cheap. all you have to give is all your money over, and not have a worry in the world after that. Shelter, Food, what could be better ?
Sooooo…..tell me....what "IS" the cost of living anyway ?
They want to live like our government spends.
"I'm still waiting for the link that all the jobs available only pay minimum wage, because where I live, even all the fast food places pay more, or they won't have any help. So does the nation's largest employer pay more than minimum wage."
Where I live, there are help wanted signs all over the place. Apparently TOO MANY folks already have jobs, and there aren't enough not working folks to fill the need !

If you only listen to FOX TV NETWORK NEWS, you are getting NON NEWS. It is all slanted political Talking Point.
Expand you mind. Turn Fox New off!
You spend waaaaaay too much time looking up "Innuendo and Conjecture" meme's on "Pinterest" !
Go to the library, check out IVANA TRUMP'ss book about her life with the big dumpster. READ it. Then, let's talk. I can't do all of your education for you.
You have to help yourself if you are to grow beyond your environs.
I believe it.
Tick, Tick, Tick goes the comment counter ?
Luv It !
She recanted after Trump settled a $100 million on her, and, forced her to recant, or, no money for the immigrant bride.
Truth is not smothered in cash. Only lies!
Yippers ..… for a reason though.
Comment counts are everything here ….. and I'm having fun ….. for FREE !
Soooo ….. I'm gonna keep playin' until I get suspended again. I'm sure SOMEONE HERE will get offended enough again.
She never recanted.
Read Comment 4.1.20.
Apparently No Link though.
You'll have to look it up yourself.
That's the truth there.
Look at the lengths some go to, to defend rapist scum.

Laughable. The Democratic Party has two wings, choose either the communist wing or the Marxist Fascist wing. The Democratic Party is the number one enemy of this Republic. A greater threat than Islam, China, Iran, or Noth Korea.
No one here except the left are defending Bill Clinton
Yes, your comment sure was. Very good of you to preface it with such an accurate disclaimer.
Marxist, communist, fascist, blah, blah, fucking blah.
That shtick is done. Give it up pastor.
I’ll never stop speaking the truth
"Defendant Trump...then proceeded to forcibly rape Plaintiff Johnson...Defendant Trump responded by violently striking Plaintiff Johnson in the face...and screaming that he 'would do whatever he wanted,' as he refused to wear protection."
That is such a cold, callous generality about people you do not have first-hand knowledge about their circumstance.
The problem with bigots is that they confuse "generalities" with facts. Conservatives have been the bane of this country since the Revolution. I refer you to General Washington's comments to Alexander Hamilton during the Revolutionary War.
In a few words, Washington explained that "Conservatives in the Continental Congress were WORSE than the Tories."
hiding from a brutal reality behind CONSERVATIVE DOGMA is not bravery, it is cowardice and a shield for corruption.
Read Washington's own comments on Conservatives of his time. It is no different from Conservatives of ours.
Pastor, you say?
Where did you get your doctor of divinity, from, a mail order company, as I did?
I, too, am a pastor/preacher. Got my license in 1969 from the Universal Church for $20.
My father-in-law got his Doctor of Divinity from four years of college, two years for a Master, and another 2-3 years for his Ph.d. I valued his opinion, but, did not always agree with it.
Your views sound very similar to that Evangelical Pastor/Murderer Jim Jones, the self-appointed Czar of Jonestown, and to the violent rhetoric of the militant Davidians Cult.
False Prophets are a dime-a-dozen.
"A picture is worth a thousand words". That is not solely for the astute, it applies equally to illiterates.
Do you watch anything but FOX TV FAKE NEWS, or, read nothing but Alex Jones rants?
The world is full of real journalism, not, only Conservative Propaganda that they push off on "rubes" as News. That is the FAKE NEWS, not journalism.
Putin, Hitler, Stalin, and every Dictator attacks the press as "FAKE NEWS", like our "wannabe" Dick-Tatter, Trump, does. Do not fall for their proven lies because they claim that they are the "truth".
Texan1211, try exploring the world instead of listening to echoes.
I don't know if you caught this or not, it is difficult when one is listening to ONLY oneself to see the HEADLINE, but this "seed" is about a FOX ANCHOR/PERSONALITY's criticism of Trump's comments on EPSTEIN, the convicted Child Sex Predator, and, former BF of "the Donald".
It is not a discussion on the economy, minimum wage, or, any other deflection that Conservatives might conceive to avoid the substance of the original seed.
Please, restrict your comments to the topic at hand.
Again, the "SEEDED" article is about FOX TV ripping into Trump's comments on Jeffrey Epstein, the convicted Child Sex Predator and former BF of Trump.
It is not about me, or, my use of tools available to me to respond to these outlandish, childish "slings and arrows" cast by Trump devotees.
Idol worship is the providence of childhood.
Although I enjoy the tit for tat exchange with you, I, often, find it difficult to decipher what you are rambling on about in such a distracted manner.
Perhaps, if you stuck to the content of the article/seed, we might have a more coherent discourse.
When Fox TV disparages Trump, and "the Donald" takes to "Twitter" like an angry schoolboy, that is revealing of the Orange Menance's mental unraveling.
Since, this illegally installed POTUS, real POS, is in the Oval Office with his dirty, tiny fingers on the Nuclear Button, it should be of importance to the citizens of this nation.
IT MIGHT BE GOOD IF YOUR STARTED "Speaking the Truth".
Every bigoted comment that tumbles forth from your mouth as if it is "Manna" from Gods, is not.
It is simply, mostly, your biased opinion that is substituted for the truth.
I actually read .....and understand.... your written articles. I have the super-duper decoder ring though.
"When Fox TV disparages Trump, and "the Donald" takes to "Twitter" like an angry schoolboy, that is revealing of the Orange Menance's mental unraveling."
That "Should" show you that he's not some "Partisan" hack. He's an Equality "Tweeter".
The facts do not change because of you, yes, even you, Texan1211, do not like them.
Trump raped his wife in a brutal, vicious manner that stunned his wife and opened her eyes to how out of control Trump can become, since he is a "spoiled, rich child", in a man's suit, that his daddy bought for him.
What it reveals to me is that Trump is "unfit" to hold his office, and, too, immature to handle the pressures of that office.
"the Donald" continual "criminal behavior" while in the Whitehouse is substantial, and, need a formal "Impeachment Investigation" to determine if he should be removed from office.
Republicans in the House and Senate have displaced their moral compass as they dig for gold like vultures in the Treasury of the United States government.
Seems to be doing well so far. Business is Great.
He's even trying to solve the "Illegal" problem, all by himself, unlike the other 535 "Law Makers", who most have been in office waaaaaay longer than Trump has been.
Bringing out Joe McCarthy fear tactics, are we? The Communist wing is aligned with Trump's "best buds", China, Russia, and North Korea.
As far as the Marxist Fascist wing that was Mussolini's gig. You are going to have to do better than that, reaching back to the 1950s.
Why not come up with your own analysis rather than borrowing the bogus boogeyman mantra from McCarthy?
Not everything is "Bull Chip". Justice, in America, is bought and sold by the UBER RICH & powerful. Remember Ted Kennedy getting away with "Negligent Homicide"?
Or, the killer NYC Mafia Head, known as "Teflon Don", who kept getting away with murders, extortions, racketeering for years? Eventually, he was sent to prison after millions of dollars of investigation, and mobsters turning on him for clemency?
Things are not always what they seem. Journalists have always provided a very important role in a free society and have helped to expose corruption at the highest levels.
Yeahhh . . . that's not at all creepy.
Tacos! When one is talking about 12 and 13-year-old girls it is. Trump is a SEXUAL PREDATOR, a rapist, a Child Sex Perverts.
He is not who you think he might be. Be careful to whom you give your blind allegiance to, for they may be, as Trump is, a MONSTER in disguise.
I believe that it is our obligation to confront "Trump Supporters" when they are uninformed, flat out wrong, and blinded by their own internal prejudices.
We are not in a National Debate contesting one form of political discourse with another.
We are engaged in a struggle to save our Nation from those who would turn it into a DICTATORSHIP ruled by corrupt leaders who use HATE
I didn't rape her, the PRESS did not rape her - DONALD J. TRUMP is the one accused of raping a 13-year-old girl.
The "Truth" needs to come out. Not the best lawyering!
