@RoKhanna Because you idiots were trying to tie it to the crypto bill because yall are fools.

@RoKhanna FACT:@realannapaulina This not true. This was a procedural vote that it failed would have turned over the house to the Democrat party. You should update your posting so that you’re putting out factual information. Pull up the language for this vote and verify for yourself.

Typical DEM Spin — their Disinformation Campaign Never Ends The Democratic claim hinges on a recent vote, implying a deliberate obstruction of public access to Epstein-related documents. However, this interpretation requires unpacking the nature of the vote & the political mechanics of the procedure in play. The vote in question occurred on July 15, 2025, which was NOT a direct vote to release or suppress the Epstein files. Instead, it was a procedural motion handled by the House Rules Committee, as reported by sources like Axios & The Guardian. This committee determines which amendments can be attached to legislation before it reaches the House floor for a full vote. In this instance, lDemocrats, led by figures like Rep. Marc Veasey (D-TX) proposed an amendment to the GENIUS Act (a cryptocurrency regulatory bill) & a defense funding bill. This amendment would have compelled AG Bondi to release all Epstein-related docs on a public website within 30 days. Republicans on the Rules Committee voted 5-6 against including this amendment, effectively blocking it from floor consideration. Rep. Greene & other Republicans, including those cited in the X thread (e.g., @MediasLies, @gregoryjon), argue this was not a vote against releasing the files but a rejection of a procedural maneuver to grant DEMs control of the House floor. Greene’s states: "That is not true. It was a procedural vote. We voted against Democrats having House floor control." This distinction is critical—control of the floor would have allowed D’s to set the legislative agenda, including pushing for the Epstein files' release on their terms. The @TheDemocrats post simplifies this into a narrative of Republican obstruction, which aligns with a broader political strategy to capitalize on public outrage over Epstein’s case. Epstein, a financier convicted in 2008 of soliciting a minor & later implicated in extensive trafficking networks, died in 2019 under controversial circumstances in a federal detention center. His case has become a lightning rod, with documents released in prior years (e.g., via a 2019 lawsuit by Virginia Giuffre) naming high-profile figures but leaving many questions unanswered. The Democratic post leverages this public interest, suggesting Republicans are protecting elites, a charge echoed by @PollingUSA’s reply calling Greene a "pedo protector." However, the procedural nature of the vote means it did not directly address the files’ release. House rules, as outlined on require measures to be pertinent to the underlying legislation (e.g., the GENIUS Act focuses on cryptocurrency, not Epstein). Republicans, including Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) argued the amendment was out of scope, a position supported by the committee’s decision. This procedural rejection does not preclude future votes specifically on the Epstein files but delays DEM efforts to force the issue on their own terms. As of 04:12 PM CDT, July 15, 2025) this debate is unfolding live. The X thread shows rapid responses—within 12”, @MediaLies (20:20 UTC) and @Matt (20:21 UTC) counter the DEM claim, emphasizing the procedural aspect. The back-and-forth reflects a polarized spin war, with DEMS framing it as a moral failing & R’s defending it as a technicality. Conclusion: The @TheDemocrats post oversimplifies a complex procedural vote into a narrative of obstruction, while Greene’s rebuttal highlights the technical reality of House floor control. The truth lies in the gray area: Republicans did vote against the amendment, but this was not a definitive block on the files’ release—rather, a tactical move in a broader political chess game. The public’s demand for Epstein-related transparency, fueled by his case’s history, continues to drive this discourse, but the current vote’s outcome hinges more on legislative strategy than a clear stance on disclosure.

@TheDemocrats @RoKhanna Can we see the exact bill that was voted on? All of the bill not just the part about Epstein.

@RoKhanna Rep. Foxx (R) ❌Rep. Fischbach (R) 📷Rep. Houchin (R) 📷 Rep. Scott (R) 📷Rep. Griffith (R) 📷 ❌ THESE ARE THE GUYS WHO HAVE SOMETHING TO HIDE WITH THE EPSTEIN FILES, VOTED TO NOT EXPOSE THEM! YOU KNOW WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO NOW !

@TheDemocrats @RoKhanna Why wasn’t Ro Khanna interested in the Epstein files during the Biden administration? I’m confused.

@RoKhanna This is a more serious effort, rather than amendments attached to bills:

@RoKhanna Democrats had 4 years to release the files and did not do it now they trying to act high and mighty
