MAGA Rep Caught in Epstein Firestorm at Chaotic Town Hall

A Texas congressman found himself on the receiving end of MAGA’s fury over the Epstein files during a chaotic town hall.

Online footage from the Thursday meet at a community center in Houston shows irate constituents bellowing at Texas Rep. Crenshaw to “release the files” and “answer our questions” about the late financier’s crimes.

“We don’t want to hear your propaganda!” shouted one attendee.

President Donald Trump has faced increasing public blowback over his administration’s handling of the Epstein files following the Justice Department’s determination in July that—contrary to conspiracy theories long-cherished by the far right and promoted by the president himself—the convicted sex trafficker’s 2019 death in police custody was a suicide and that he kept no “client list” of uber-wealthy co-conspirators.

Boos during a rowdy town hall for @RepDanCrenshaw in Texas this evening. People on hand were yelling “Epstein files” at Crenshaw who appears to be flustered in the video (toward the end of the clip). Video sent to me by somebody who was at the event.

There's just too much of it here.

SINCE THE EPSTEIN BRIGADE ENTERED THE STREETS OF ... The District of Epstein.




It's time to play "Find the salami", everyone.

Say, didn’t I see the “District of Epstein” on my map?



That’s where the Epstein House is, isn’t it?
