Actor Kevin Spacey asked on Tuesday that the Epstein files be released because “the truth can’t come soon enough,” and former lawmaker George Santos felt obliged to offer his two cents.
Spacey took to X and publicly asked someone, anyone, to “release the Epstein files. All of them. For those of us with nothing to fear, the truth can’t come soon enough.”
He added, “I hate to make this about me — but the media already has.”
Although Spacey’s name does appear in unsealed documents related to the deceased financier Jeffrey Epstein, he hasn’t been accused of helping facilitate Epstein’s alleged child sex trafficking ring.
The former Republican lawmaker also used a homophobic slur in referring to Spacey, even though Santos is himself openly gay.
Many people on social media were shocked and confused by Santos’ vitriol.
One person advised the convicted former representative, “You should probably sit this one out!”
