Because Trump sold them the Epsteins files during his campaign. He promised to release the files and the list in full transparency. Most of the MAGA base is now invested in the Epstein files and want to see billionaire pedophiles punished. Pam Bondi acted like MAGA usually wants her to act, except this time she was acting against MAGA. She interrupted and attacked the people who asked the questions MAGA wanted answers for and instead of giving any answers she dodged the questions and wasted time on incoherent rants instead of giving the information MAGA wants. She did everything "right" but she did it against the wrong crowd.
I know polling is useless, but I would really appreciate some good data on the "MAGA divide". All of my family members are still on the Trump Train.
There's a CNN polling data from the end of last year that shows only 12% of republicans are satisfied with the amount of information released on the Epstein case, 21% are dissatisfied and the majority are don't care or don't know. Now those numbers have gone more in the favor of what the administration is doing compared to polling on the same questions 6 months earlier where 4% were satisfied and 40% was dissatisfied. I don't think I need to find polling data on Trumps popularity, I think it's pretty obvious that his support among his base is high. So there's an obvious disconnect between supporting Trump and believing the Epstein files are properly handled.
Overall the sentiment in the republican party is that they're not satisfied with how much has been released and I think the change in the trend has less to do with MAGA falling in line and more to do with them getting disillusioned by the administration, because what happened between those 6 months was that the first files were released and they were heavily redacted. Of course hardcore MAGA accepted what they saw and were happy to move on but the rest expected to get something and the administration tried to serve them nothing. I feel like that falls perfectly in line with why MAGA turned on Bondi.
I don’t think there’s a divide. Anyone who has a doubt will stuff that fucker down rather than face the ridicule of the ingroup and outgroup simultaneously.
