Fox News hosts have been criticised online after joking about Jeffrey Epstein being a “sex rabbi” and a “fixer” on air.
Hosts of The Five on Fox News laughed while discussing Attorney General Pam Bondi’s testimony before the House Judiciary Committee.
Bondi refused to look at a group of Epstein survivors who stood when Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) demanded that Bondi issued an apology.
Speaking about the testimony, Kennedy called it “very, very unpersuasive”.
Then, host Jesse Watters spoke about the Epstein Files, saying: “If you read the Epstein files, The [Wall Street] Journal has done a great job at this, Epstein got his money from two Jewish billionaires, Lex Wexner and Leon Black, and a little bit of money from the Jewish banking dynasty, the Rothschilds in Europe.”
He added: “It looks like he’s mostly just a fixer – a guy who advises. He helps people with their problems. Sometimes those problems are, ‘You need a girl?'”
“Or some penicillin,” Kennedy quipped.
Greg Gutfield then said: “He’s a sex rabbi.”
Watters went on to say: “He should perform at the halftime show next year!”
Another wrote: "Fox News is making jokes, calling Epstein a sex Rabbi. This seems wrong for a while lot of reasons. Do you think this is funny?"
Meanwhile, Fox News recently ran a section on Joe Biden and his decline during the latter stages of his presidency – however, things backfired in pretty spectacular fashion when a guest turned the question onto Donald Trump.
