'We should be alarmed': Mass. lawmakers slam Trump push to nationalize elections
WCVB Channel 5 Boston
Quote of the Day
“(It's) revealing of how some people in elite society viewed women. There was very much a class aspect to this. A lot of the young girls came from broken homes and poor backgrounds. Some of them had been abused in their own families. And they were viewed, basically, as objects, if not to be sexually used, then to just be around, almost like furniture. They were viewed as disposable people.”
Goldstein is saying that Epstein didn’t operate in a vacuum. The newly released files matter because they reinforce how elite circles enabled his abuse by sharing a worldview in which certain girls simply didn’t count.
