Key Takeaways:
Trump’s DOJ appears to be preparing the ground for a Ghislaine Maxwell pardon.
Republicans who remain silent on Epstein are complicit by design.
Stuart Stevens holds himself accountable for helping build the GOP that now enables predators.
The Republican Party is no longer a political institution — it’s a moral hazard.
The only way to stop it is through elections — and moral clarity from voters and leaders alike.
Stuart Stevens doesn’t just warn us — he indicts himself. In his live this afternoon on Lincoln Square, he calls out the full collapse of Republican moral credibility, from Trump’s “I wish her well” to the GOP’s eerie silence on Epstein.
“Every Republican who hasn’t said, ‘no pardon for Maxwell’ is saying yes by default,” he argues. And the truth hits harder because it’s coming from someone who helped elect the very people staying quiet.
This isn’t about one man. It’s about a movement. A party that once branded itself as the guardian of American values now shields predators, shrinks from accountability, and hopes no one notices. But Stuart has a message for his old colleagues — and for the rest of us: “They did listen to me. And I was wrong.” That’s not an apology. It’s a call to action. Tune in, and show up — because the reckoning starts with us.
Epstein, MAGA & Trump: The Throuple From Hell
One of the hallmarks of the Trump era is the alacrity with which intelligent people embrace stupidity. As it was in Mao’s China with the Red Guard, it is a political crime in today’s Republican Party to appear well-educated.
