Chomsky has often suffered fools, knaves, and criminals too lightly. Epstein was one of them. But that doesn’t mean Chomsky was part of the “Epstein class.”

    So far it’s told me that progressives will circle the wagons for their own just like liberals will.

    He was friends with Epstein after his conviction.

    In a way though I think that Chomsky is part of the Epstein class. Like Steve Bannon and Trump what they have in common is supporting Russia instead of Ukraine. I was not surprised at all when I heard that Chomsky had Epstein ties.

    It’s almost a certainty that not everyone who was in communication with Epstein - not even everyone who visited his island or flew on his jet - was personally involved with raping kids, but I find it difficult to believe that they didn’t see what was going on, even just hints of it, and they didn’t say anything. As far as I’m concerned, that makes them complicit until such a time as they’re proven innocent.

    Yes, to be clear, I am saying that I consider them guilty until proven innocent in this case and I wish that wasn’t the case. If everything wasn’t being covered up so thoroughly, maybe it wouldn’t be, but as it stands, I will never look at or talk about anyone on that list the same way again, unless some irrefutable evidence in their favor comes out at some point.
