Epstein Text Scandal Explodes: Plaskett NOT Censured, Dems Panic, Trump & Elon Unite at Saudi Forum, and Florida GOP Scores Major Wins
Manage episode 520306379 series 3674375
On today’s Florida’s Voice with Drew Steele, Drew opens with the bizarre scene on Capitol Hill: Democrat Stacey Plaskett finally censured after being caught exchanging real-time text messages with Jeffrey Epstein during a 2019 congressional hearing. Democrats scrambled with wild excuses, Jamie Raskin calling Epstein a “constituent,” and Rep. Jasmine Crockett hilariously misfiring by accusing Republicans of taking money from the wrong Epstein. Drew breaks it all down — receipts and all.
Then things get even stranger as reports surface of a backroom deal inside Congress to pause censures of Ilhan Omar and Plaskett in order to shield Rep. Cory Mills from an immediate vote. Drew details what Luna, Mace, and others are alleging and what it means for the GOP moving forward.
Meanwhile, President Trump electrifies the U.S.–Saudi Investment Forum, talking global peace, border security, and economic growth — with Elon Musk sitting directly in the crowd as Trump jokes about the timing of exposing Democrat policies. Drew covers the trillion-dollar investment talk, the Fed smackdown, and why Trump’s strategy has Democrats rattled.
Closer to home, Drew welcomes Skylar Zander (AFP) and Evan Power (Florida GOP Chair) to unpack property taxes, insurance reform, school choice, and a wave of Republican wins: Miami-Dade, Palm Beach, Duval, and a new House seat flipped without spending a dime.
