We get what Ellen Barkin was trying to do here, and that was to somehow dunk only on Trump using Jeffrey Epstein. Interestingly enough, all she really succeeded in doing was making herself and other Hollywood elites look like the disgusting enablers they have always been.
It’s time to take another look… https://t.co/nWyJSkCUiU

Here comes the ‘enabling’ part:
Epstein’s pimp girlfriend, Ghislaine Maxwell, a very well-connected Brit socialite cannot just walk free. This woman is his pimp. She pilots planes to and from the island. I know because she told me. She is a sex trafficker.

So. Maxwell told Ellen Barkin that she was a sex trafficker … and Ellen did … nothing.
Alrighty.
This was not the dunk she was likely going for.
I'm confused. You knew about these crimes against young girls and said nothing? Now, you're outraged? Are we missing something here.

It’s really pretty disgusting. Ellen admits she knew long ago that girls were being trafficked and did nothing to stop it.
Sounds like the Weinstein mess all over again.
Good thing you stayed silent all this time.

Way to protect the predators, Ellen.

Thank you for saying something when you found out ….oh, wait.

She told you and you did what, exactly?
— Joel Engel (@joelengel) July 7, 2019
Nada.
Zip.
Zilch.
I’m assuming this person told you this in confidence because they assumed you weren’t going to say anything. You realize that publicly tweeting about it after the fact implicates you as an accomplice, right?

Oopsie.
More people like you who run in those circles need to step up. Silence kills. And we all know that many, many people know what was going on.

She sat on this info for years apparently. Barkin is no hero. ?

It’s no secret. She flys the planes to ensure maximum privacy for guests but that’s pretty extreme privacy no pilot, right? So why? Who was on the planes? Underage girls? The president? They know all that. Now what?
— Ellen Barkin (@EllenBarkin) July 8, 2019
Apparently, it is a big secret.
One Ellen sat on for YEARS.
Why didn’t you go to the authorities before now?
— NorseThunder (@Odinsonsmjolnir) July 8, 2019
Because it wasn’t politically convenient to do so until now.
This is not about helping victims, it’s about scoring political points.
Period the end.
