Nick Fuentes calls Trump the “chief obstacle” to the release of the Epstein files

Fuentes: “If it were up to Trump and the GOP, we would never see the Epstein files. … Trump himself was trying to thwart the will of the people. Trump himself was protecting Epstein and his accomplices. Trump himself was protecting the corruption.”

NICK FUENTES (HOST): This was a true mutiny led by the Democrats and a handful of MAGA Republicans. Think about that. If it were up to Trump and the GOP, we would never see the Epstein files. And remember, it's not because they couldn't get around to it. They can't blame it on the Democrats. They can't blame it on the deep state.

It became very clear and open that Trump was the chief obstacle. Trump was effectively trying to exercise a veto over the whole thing. He was standing in the way alone, he and the Republicans. What does this tell us about our system?

We are constantly being told that the reason we never get what we vote for is because of the Democrats. If the Republicans don't deliver on what they promise, well, it's because they don't have a big enough majority. It's because of gridlock. It's because of the Democrats. It's because of “political realities.” These are all excuses. 

This is maybe the best example of it. Here, Trump himself was trying to thwart the will of the people. Trump himself was protecting Epstein and his accomplices. Trump himself was protecting the corruption, shielding the corruption from exposure and accountability from his own base. And what was the playbook that he ran with? He tried to blame it on the Democrats. He said, “Well, I can't deliver on my promise because if I did, well, the Democrats would use it.” Does this not tell you how politics works? 

And by the way, if the Republicans had a bigger majority, Trump would have been successful. Think about that. In an alternate timeline, if the Republicans had a 20-vote majority, then three or four MAGA Republicans could not be the fulcrum. They could not swing it the other way with the Democrats. If Republicans had more power, they would have suppressed the files and no one could have done anything about it.
