Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA), a vocal gun control advocate who’s pushed for everything from assault weapon bans to red flag laws, decided to grandstand on the House floor by reading aloud the names of four men from the recently unsealed Jeffrey Epstein files—men who, as even the source text admits, have zero connection to the convicted pedophile or his web of elite enablers. This isn’t just sloppy politics; it’s a masterclass in Democrat deflection tactics. While Khanna cherry-picks names to fuel partisan outrage (likely aiming at Trump-adjacent figures), the real Epstein scandal implicates a bipartisan roster of power brokers who’ve dodged real scrutiny. Remember, Epstein’s flight logs and black book overflow with Clinton cronies, Hollywood moguls, and deep-state darlings—yet Khanna’s performance skips those inconvenient truths. It’s performative theater, the kind that distracts from actual accountability while Democrats like him lecture America on trusting institutions.
For the 2A community, this episode is a glaring red flag on the hypocrisy machine driving gun grabs. Khanna and his ilk demand we surrender our rights based on public safety fears, painting everyday gun owners as threats while shielding their own corrupt elite circles from Epstein-level predation. If these politicians can fabricate connections to smear opponents and erode due process—reading names without evidence, much like vague threat labels in red flag laws—imagine how they’d wield disarmed populaces against dissenters. The Epstein files remind us that real dangers lurk in unaccountable power, not in the hands of law-abiding rifle owners. This isn’t about pedophiles; it’s a preview of how the left weaponizes narratives to disarm us while their heroes fly free.
The implications? Double down on 2A vigilance. Every time Democrats like Khanna play these games, it exposes their endgame: control the story, control the people, confiscate the means of resistance. Share this farce widely—let it fuel the fight against their surveillance state fantasies disguised as safety. Our rights aren’t negotiable, especially when the real criminals wear suits and read scripts on C-SPAN. Stay armed, stay informed, and call out the clowns.
