Radio host Charlamagne Tha God slammed mainstream liberal media for obsessively focusing on President Trump’s connection to Jeffrey Epstein while largely ignoring ties between Epstein and Bill Clinton. He criticized ideological bias, suggesting coverage is driven more by political agendas than fact. Charlamagne pointed out that liberal outlets disproportionately reported on Trump’s alleged ties and far less on Clinton’s connections—even though similar associations exist.
He cited data showing CNN and MSNBC mentioned Trump’s Epstein ties over four times more often than stories about Russian interference allegations brought forth by DNI Tulsi Gabbard since mid‑July. He asked rhetorically: “Bill Clinton wrote a letter to Jeffrey Epstein for his birthday … and Jeffrey Epstein had a picture of Bill Clinton in a dress … but nobody’s talking about that.”
Clinton’s birthday letter and the controversial photograph allegedly displayed in Epstein’s New York mansion have been well-documented in public records and litigation. Charlamagne used those examples to argue liberal outlets keep the focus squarely on Trump-era controversies while ignoring stories implicating Clinton—regardless of gravity.
Other public figures also amplify this criticism. Conservative pundits note that contrasts in media scrutiny reflect broader trust issues within their audience, who feel selective outrage is politically weaponized.
Charlamagne’s remarks reflect a wider sentiment within conservative media: fear that liberal outlets operate as partisan amplifiers, ignoring inconvenient truths about Democratic elites. While liberal analysts argue Trump’s coverage is justified by current public interest, critics like Charlamagne insist fairness demands parity in scrutiny across party lines.
