Tiffany Cross Throws Down With Trump Fan Kevin O’Leary Over Bizarre Claim About Epstein Victims
Former MSNBC host Tiffany Cross threw down with prominent Trump fan Kevin O’Leary over a bizarre claim that he knows what victims of deceased sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein want.
On Tuesday’s edition of CNN NewsNight, anchor Abby Phillip hosted a panel that included Cross, O’Leary, Brooke Goldstein, Nayeera Haq, and Donte Mills.
Things got heated during a discussion of President Donald Trump’s potential pardon of Epstein accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell, and O’Leary claimed Maxwell’s victims don’t want to be “dragged back into the limelight.”
Cross took exception to O’Leary presuming to speak for the women abused by Maxwell and Epstein:
PHILLIP: But why won’t Trump, Trump rule out pardoning her? Why are they even talking to her about an immunity deal? Why?
O’LEARY: Okay. If any of you cared about the victims, you wouldn’t drag these women who are in childbearing years now, some of them having children, back into the limelight, back into the same story, to expose them again to this hideous outcome because these guys —
MILLS: Because if you don’t —
(CROSSTALKS)
MILLS: They could be doing it to somebody else right now, as we say here on T.V.
O’LEARY: They don’t want you to help them anymore. They want to — CROSS: How do you know that? What are you basing that on?
O’LEARY: I know certainty they’d rather live up their lives than keep being brought back talking about Epstein. You’re really thinking they want that now? They’re done with it.
CROSS: You’re speaking what the half of women saying that you personally spoken to victims who said they do not want justice.
O’LEARY: I have spoken to no one. I’m just being pragmatic.
CROSS: So, then that is an irresponsible statement.
O’LEARY: You’re dragging out women who have —
CROSS: You have no idea what these young women went.
O’LEARY: Don’t you think if it was you, you’d rather get on with your life? Aren’t you done with this?
CROSS: No. If there were me, I want justice pursued.
(CROSSTALKS)
O’LEARY: Money? What do you want? What do you want?
CROSS: (INAUDIBLE) get on with his life?
O’LEARY: The truth is out. There’s a prisoner and there’s a dead guy. That’s the truth, all right? That’s what happened.
CROSS: And that’s the only truth that exists.
