Ro Khanna Says His Epstein Files Efforts Are Luring In MAGA Republicans

Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.), one of the Democrats leading the charge on forcing the Trump administration to release the remaining Epstein files, says this is the most buy-in he's ever gotten from the president's base on anything.

“I’ve never gotten this kind of Republican support on anything I have done before from the MAGA base,” Khanna said at the Democratic Mayors Association conference in Cleveland, Ohio, NBC News reported. “There have been a lot of things that the Democrats have screamed our heads off about, but it’s always just the Democrats. Sometimes it’s the Democrats combined with establishment Republicans such as Liz Cheney or Mitt Romney or Paul Ryan."

Activating MAGA voters on the Epstein files is key to stifling Trump, he continued.

“It’s never been the Democrats who are combined with the loudest voices in the MAGA world, and that is, I think, the key to not just fighting Trump, but fighting Trump effectively," he continued.
