Did you hear? Alex Acosta totally just excused Jeffrey Epstein’s heinous sex crimes. Christine Pelosi, aka Nancy Pelosi’s daughter, caught the whole thing:

Wow. That sounds seriously awful.
Wow. Where is this quote from?

OM ACTUAL, he said that?!!!
— Spartan Girl (@Spartan08666317) July 10, 2019
OM ACTUAL … ly he didn’t.

Acosta never said that. https://t.co/EXmmowt0aZ

But Pelosi sounds so convinced! How could she get something like that wrong?
? he didn't say this. this is a joke David Frum made.
— Josh Barro (@jbarro) July 10, 2019
I hate the guy but he did not say that. This is something @davidfrum wrote sarcastically and immediately deleted. Please delete your tweet.

Apparently David Frum’s original tweet made it look like Acosta actually said it:
sorry – that sardonic comment should not have been phrased in a way that looked like a quotation, deleted.
— David Frum (@davidfrum) July 10, 2019
Good thing Christine checked before running with something so inflammatory.
David Frum first tweeted the “quote” as a sarcastic paraphrasing of Acosta. Frum deleted later when he realized people were taking it seriously. Pelosi here just cribbed a since-deleted tweet and didn’t even offer attribution.

Pelosi has since deleted her tweet:
She didn’t acknowledge her dishonesty in any subsequent tweets. But that’s OK, because the outrage pot got stirred, and isn’t that what really matters?

Disgusting, Mr Acosta.

They are trying to find a way to legalize rape and molestation of under age girls.

beyond disgusting
— Alexander Crouton-Skitch (@AlexanderSkitch) July 10, 2019
He's saying the quiet things out loud.
— Liberal Librarian (@Lib_Librarian) July 10, 2019
This is outrageous and horrible
— Elizabeth Skidmore (@Faysdaughter2) July 10, 2019
Great work, everyone.
It was another fake quote from David Frum which has now been deleted. People are apparently copy and pasting it as true. This situation is awful enough without this fake shit muddying the waters.

Seriously. Alex Acosta is hard at work burying himself. The Resistance does themselves zero favors by pulling this kind of crap.

Update:
Oh, hey. Just in case you thought Pelosi deleted her tweet because she was embarrassed, think again.
So those girls didn't have wealth, wasn't important therefore Epstein and God knows who else had a right to their young bodies to do whatever they pleased? Acosta need to get on a fast track train to hell.
— 3ChicsPolitico (@3ChicsPolitico) July 10, 2019
He still need to go straight to hell and take Epstein with him.
— 3ChicsPolitico (@3ChicsPolitico) July 10, 2019
Acosta didn’t actually say what Pelosi said he did, but it’s OK because he’s a bad guy:
Truth and meanwhile I’m getting the video so pulled tweet until I can clip the video. Approx 11:50 am PT.
— Christine Pelosi (@sfpelosi) July 10, 2019
Have fun scouring the video for footage that you know full well doesn’t exist.
