**Headline: Why Are We Still Talking About Epstein?**
So, some lawmakers are suddenly concerned about accountability for those connected to Jeffrey Epstein. You know, the convicted sex offender who managed to mingle with the rich and famous like it was a cocktail party? This renewed interest comes right after ex-Prince Andrew was arrested. How convenient.
Now, NPR’s investigations correspondent Joseph Shapiro appears to be the go-to guy for comparing how the U.S. and Europe are handling this mess. Because obviously, if we can’t solve our own problems, let’s look at how someone else is doing it. Spoiler alert: it’s not like Europe has a magic wand for this kind of thing.
It’s almost comical how our lawmakers seem to wake up to this issue only when someone in the royal family gets in trouble. Meanwhile, the rest of us are left wondering why the same energy isn’t applied to the countless other shady figures linked to Epstein.
So, what’s really missing here? Oh right, a genuine desire to hold powerful individuals accountable, rather than just grandstanding when it’s fashionable.
Isn’t it time we stopped dragging this tired story back into the spotlight every time a headline makes it convenient?
