Really bad sanewashing of Trump over his "Democrats created the Epstein files" rant [View all]

When the US president rants that "Obama, Crooked Hillary, Comey, Brennan, and the Losers and Criminals of the Biden Administration" (aka "Radical Left Lunatics" ) "created the Epstein Files", you'd think that would be the headline. But no, they've all gone with "Trump supports Bondi":

and as for the RW press, they are pretending that the 'conspiracy theories' here are people saying Epstein had guests who raped underage girls, not the claim from the fucking president that Democrats have made it all up:

Those really are the news stories I get from Google News for a search of just "Trump" and "Epstein". You have to go to Rolling Stone or timesnownews.com (Indian) to get someone who has put the insane accusation in the headline:
