Is this Democrats whataboutism moment?
You should read up on what whataboutism is. This definitely isnt it.
The Epstein files didn't show anything that wasn't already public. The media already covered the accusations against Trump during the Epstein trial. Why isn't the media talking about Biden sexually assaulting Tara Reade? Or claims by Lucy Flores, Amy Lappos, or Biden's showers with his daughter? I hate Trump as much as anyone else. It wouldn't surprise me if he was running and underage sex trafficking ring out of Mar-a-Lago. However, generally when you want to make accusations, you need a victim willing to speak out, and some proof that the claims are likely. Moreso, ultimately you need charges filed and a conviction. What Democrats are doing here is 100% whataboutism. Biden should be doing unscripted press conferences and interviews right now, but instead people are running cover for him thinking it will somehow help his poor polling.
