One of Donald Trump’s most frequently used tactics is to call something that usually involves his own guilt a hoax. Trump will repeat this baseless claim often enough that it will get traction in mainstream media and with his supporters.

Trump has been trying his now-standard tactic to discredit the Epstein scandal, but it doesn’t seem to be working for a few reasons. People long ago formed an opinion on Trump and his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, and the Epstein survivors themselves are speaking out.

One of those survivors is Liz Stein, who was interviewed on CNN’s News Central and had this to say about Trump’s hoax claims:

I think that logistically it would be impossible to gather this large of a group of women who did not know each other before. Most of us had never met. Some people had. But I think that it would be impossible to compile a group of women this large who have these common themes and common threads in their stories.

So, it feels incredibly invalidating for us to hear that this is being called a hoax, to be told that, you know, this is all in our imaginations. You know, I don’t know that the American people think that we’re a hoax. And I think that’s what’s important to us.

CNN’s Kate Bolduan said, "Well, you are not a hoax. You are not a hoax."

Stein replied, "No, I’m not."

Because of the way that survivors of sexual abuse and sex crimes are treated in this country when they speak out, especially when they speak out against powerful men, the women who have stepped forward publicly are very brave, and they deserve our respect, gratitude, and protection.

These women are doing something that the Republican Party is afraid to do. They are standing up to Donald Trump, as he tries to invalidate what they have been through and the traumatic experience that they endured.

It takes courage as a regular person to use your voice against the President Of The United States.

The American people overwhelmingly believe these women. It is Donald Trump whom they don’t believe when it comes to Epstein.

If Trump and the Republicans who support him had the least bit of interest in true justice, they would release all of the Epstein files and not leave it to these women to compile their own list and name names.

Epstein and Maxwell would not have gotten away with their crimes for as long as they did without the help of other rich and powerful people.

Donald Trump is still helping Epstein and Maxwell, but the rest of us can help the survivors by demanding justice and the truth.
