so 35% believe he is guilty and voted for him anyway.
The actual numbers are so much worse. The 15% overall "didnt know" is watered down from ~30% Republicans. They are lying either to the pollsters or more likely, themselves.
I don't see Trump blew Clinton on that poll. Outdated.
Republicans gotta be the stupidest mfs around
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relationship_of_Donald_Trump_and_Jeffrey_Epstein
In 2002, speaking to New York magazine, Trump said "I've known Jeff for 15 years. Terrific guy." He also stated that "He's a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side."
and
In 2017, Epstein told Wolff that he had been Trump's "closest friend for 10 years".
Two guys who say they'd been friends for a long time.
NEW POLL: 15 Percent of Americans will lie to not have to admit they were mislead.
Misled? It couldn't have been more clear what kind of person Trump is.
"15 Percent of Americans will lie to not have to admit they knowingly supported a pedo."
FTFY
Waaaaaaay too high of a number
In other news approximately 15 to 20% of Americans are illiterate.
The average American reads below a 6th grade level. Meaning half of them are competitive with grade schoolers. They are not picking up on nuance or context at all.
The average American reads below a 6th grade level.
Here's a great example of how that compares to other adjacent grades.
That clip was a great demonstration. Succinct but informative
It's actually more like 21%
They're just liars.
"Did you know about Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking minors?" - asked no reporter ever
spits
There is always a percentage of people who are completely disconnected from news, current affairs, politics or anything outside of their narrow experience.
They probably couldn't tell you who the vice president is or if Epstein is alive or dead without prompting.
My cousin immigrated to the US and wasn't aware of the ICE raids. Although to be fair, he was a sailor and so he may have had limited access to news while travelling. But on the one hand, with how almost instantaneous access to information these days even if one is travelling a lot, as you said, my cousin may have narrow experience in terms of what information he choose to consume. As in, he maybe only caring about news from our home country.
15% of Americans would tell you the earth is hollow and a race of horse people lives down there, if the question asked about it.
41% of Americans believe in ghosts.
Not but the files bro. Really important bro. It's not like everyone already knows and Trump is king. No bro the files. Release them and we defeat racism bro trust.
