A new episode—Fifteen Minutes of Feminism: What’s In The Epstein Files? Republicans and Democrats Want to Know (with George Conway)—is available now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and MsMagazine.com.
The Epstein files have dominated the headlines lately—and as victims continue to come forward, and new evidence continues to emerge, the questions and demands for justice grow louder. What can we learn from the information that has been released? What will it take for the full files to be released? And how will Trump respond? George Conway joins host Dr. Michele Goodwin to unpack all this and more in a special Fifteen Minutes of Feminism episode.
A full transcript of the episode may be found here, as well as a few excerpts below:
“I emailed the then head of the Editorial Board of The Washington Post and I said, Hey, listen. I want to write something basically saying that if Republicans believed Juanita Broaddrick who had accused Bill Clinton of sexually assaulting her, well then, they better believe E. Jean Carroll—because certainly in some ways her story has more going for it.” —George Conway
“Here you have a guy who was civilly adjudicated to be a sexual abuser, as Judge Kaplan said in most states, by most people’s likes, what he did would be considered rape. It’s technically not rape under the New York penal law, but that’s just because New York has a particular definition of what separates digital versus penile rape. So, you’ve got that.” —George Conway
“It really makes your skin crawl when you think too much about it. So, I don’t think this is going away for him. I think they’ve done everything here to make this worse for himself.” —George Conway
