E. Jean Carroll shows how to beat the creeps

House Speaker Mike Johnson is going to great lengths to exploit the government shutdown in order to hide the Jeffrey Epstein files. I explain why this move is all about silencing victims, defending alleged abusers, and worse of all, protecting President Donald Trump. Trump was already found to have sexually abused journalist E. Jean Carroll in a department store dressing room by a civil jury in New York. Carroll joins me today to talk about the aftermath of beating Trump in court, Epstein’s victims and her book “Not My Type.” A documentary film about Carroll, “Ask E. Jean” is currently playing around the country at film festivals: https://askejeanfilm.com/all-events Subscribe here on YouTube for more Standing Room Only, airing weekly Thursdays at 5 PM ET on YouTube. 🥳 Standing Room Only started as a newsletter.
