Excerpted<\/em> remarks from House of Representatives, February 10\/2<\/em>6<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why are we in a country where there is no elite accountability for people who do the most heinous things?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We need to ask ourselves:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are we in America going to have elite accountability? Are we going to call on rich and powerful people who broke the law or cavorted with a pedophile, a convicted pedophile? Are we going to call them to account? Are we going to have prosecutions for billionaires who went to this island and either raped underage girls or saw underage girls being raped and didn\u2019t say anything? Are we going to have investigations?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ll tell you what this is about. It\u2019s not just about the 1,200 survivors. It\u2019s about two tiers of justice in America.<\/strong> It\u2019s people who can accumulate wealth and power and don\u2019t have to care about the rest of America, who have destroyed so much of this country. Income inequality is at a 60-year high. Workers\u2019 salaries are less than they have been for 75 years as a part of GDP. Somehow, this country seems to be working for the rich and powerful, but it\u2019s not working for ordinary working-class Americans. I say enough. It\u2019s time to begin with accountability for the Epstein class. Hold them in front of Congress\u2014those people who visited the island or did business with Epstein after he was a convicted pedophile. Investigate them, prosecute them, and let\u2019s return to democratic accountability in the United States of America. Let\u2019s return to one system of justice in the U.S. of America<\/strong>. Let\u2019s return to a place where every American has a stake in this country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
