A giant video projection branding the Super Bowl a ‘Pedo Bowl’ was beamed onto a Las Vegas building on the eve of the big game, targeting prominent figures named in the Epstein documents. The footage, created by campaigners, highlighted President Donald Trump, Howard Lutnick, Steve Bannon, Bill Clinton, and Bill Gates, among others.
The video presented each individual in the style of an NFL player, complete with statistics and a leader board showing those most frequently cited in the files. Trump was allegedly mentioned 5,300 times, Elon Musk 1,465 times, Bill Gates 2,592 times, Steve Bannon 2,901 times, and Bill Clinton 1,210 times. The video concluded with some figures depicted as NFL cheerleaders, including Kid Rock.
Trump has consistently and forcefully rejected any suggestion of wrongdoing in connection with Epstein. Inclusion in the Epstein files does not in itself suggest impropriety. Separately, claims have surfaced that Trump has been counselled against attending the Super Bowl amid concerns that the crowd would boo him. Trump is expected to miss the event, having attended last year’s in New Orleans.
Trump told reporters last month that it was ‘just too far away’, while right-wing broadcaster Eric Bolling suggested the president would be better off avoiding the occasion. Meanwhile, Trump has expressed a desire for the US to move past discussion of the Epstein files, stating it was ‘really time for the country to get on to something else’.
