CNN anchor Pamela Brown from “The Situation Room” confronted Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Seattle) after suddenly feigning interest in the Jeffrey Epstein documents drama and demanding the Department of Justice (DOJ) “release the Epstein files.”
“If you see such a need to investigate this, why didn’t you raise it during the Biden administration? We couldn’t find that you made any public comments about Epstein in previous administrations,” Brown said to Jayapal on CNN Wednesday morning.
“Well, I would have been happy to raise it then as well,” she replied, before explaining that she was “focused on so many different pieces.”
What in the world does that mean? She’s asked why she didn’t raise her concerns before claiming she would have been happy to raise those concerns. And yet she didn’t.
Kudos to Pamela Brown for confronting Squad member Pramila Jayapal for her sudden feigned interest in the Epstein files. And a bonus that they used a clip of me calling her out.

Jason Rantz called out Pramila Jayapal on CNN, too
Brown didn’t stop pressing, airing a clip from the day earlier where I joined CNN to call out Jayapal and other Democrats for acting in bad faith on this issue.
“They’re [pursuing the Epstein files] because they think that it’s going to create more distrust within the [MAGA] movement. Ultimately, I think that actually hurts [Democrats] because I don’t know how many MAGA base members are going to say, ‘Yes, I support what Pramila Jayapal and Eric Swalwell are saying! I’m on their side!’ So, actually, I think they’re hurting their own cause,” I said on CNN.
Jayapal didn’t have much of a relevant response, instead saying, “Well, good, then he shouldn’t worry about it.” She claimed that her base is clamoring for the Epstein files (they are not, which is precisely why Jayapal has been completely silent on the issue until recently), then weirdly claimed that Republicans attend her townhalls in Seattle (they most certainly do not).
Democrats are suddenly pretending to care about the Epstein Files, thinking they’ll help create tension between the base and Trump. They’re actually ensuring there *isn’t* tension. pic.twitter.com/E6GvbKjNhW

“So Jason and others should feel perfectly fine then with my calling for this because they shouldn’t have to worry about it if they think nobody’s listening,” Jayapal added, apparently confused by the statement she was responding to.
I don’t care that Jayapal is demanding the Epstein files. That she is exploiting the suffering of innocent young girls to try to score political points when she didn’t care one iota of Epstein’s victims before is something she’ll have to live with, not me.
