California Democrat Ro Khanna has expressed disappointment that King Charles III did not mention convicted deceased pedophile Jeffrey Epstein during his address to the US Congress on Tuesday.
Khanna's Reaction
"It's very disappointing after the British Ambassador told me that the King would talk about the survivors and sex trafficking. The King's failure to acknowledge the pain his brother had caused is a moral failure and emblematic of an elite impunity that is an ongoing affront to survivors," said Representative Khanna.
In an exclusive comment to the Daily Mail, Khanna also noted that the omission was "disrespectful to the survivors, including to Sky and Amanda Roberts — Virginia Giuffre's family — who I held a roundtable with this morning."
"The British Ambassador told me the King would at least acknowledge the Epstein survivors and victims of sex trafficking in the speech. It's a moral failure and emblematic of the elite impunity that Americans and people around the world are sick of," he added.
Advocacy for Epstein Files
Khanna, along with Republican Thomas Massie, has been a top Capitol Hill advocate for the release of the Epstein files. He has also met with Epstein victims on multiple occasions, including in alignment with the King's speech on Tuesday.
