I saw this headline elsewhere. It's strange to call it "caught on camera" given that it seems like they deliberately recorded and posted this video. But regardless, it shows that he went to these parties, and that is damning in itself.

I kinda just assume that all celebrities are secret bastards, personally.
Truly. Also, I don't recall such damning language and swift response regarding the "accomplices" of Epstein when that went down, but I'm starting to think anyone who has unnecessary wealth like this is utterly depraved and no longer has human emotion or characteristics that befit living in society. They are all a danger to others and cannot be trusted.
You're right.
Both Trump and Bill Clinton are connected to Jeffrey Epstein and the vast majority of the country love them both. There's just something about that level of wealth that unleashes the worst aspects of a human being.
I don't think (most) people love Bill Clinton because he's wealthy, they love him because he was the last politician who made policies that benefited Americans so much that we had the largest surplus in history.
They love him because of his personality on top of the things he accomplished, at the time despite valid criticisms like lying under oath. He does get a pass from a lot of liberals, usually because he had so many actually effective policies.
On the other hand, many Trump supporters do actually love him because he is wealthy. They like that his policies were aimed at negatively targeting specific groups of people. There's a big difference between appreciation of a politician who did a lot of good policy while being a bad person, support of a bad person who did a lot of bad policy.
All this to say -- they are both supported, but the reasons for it are very different. And honestly, in all my time I've never come across someone who loves a Clinton because they are rich. I have come across many Trump supporters who do love Trump because he's (supposedly) rich.
Well, who wasn't at the parties other than me?
