The daughter of Martin Luther King Jr. said the White House should make public the files on financier-turned-sex offender Jeffrey Epstein after the Trump administration released thousands of files on her father's 1968 assassination over objections from her and other relatives of the civil rights leader.

"Now, do the Epstein Files," Bernice King, CEO of The King Center in Atlanta, wrote in a social media post on X on Monday night.

It sucks that they're using her father's case as a smokescreen to cover for the Pedophile on Chief.

Implores

to ask or beg for (something) earnestly

Pretty sure that’s a “fuck you, stop trying to distract everyone about child rape and release those files, you piece of shit” and so “implore” is such a stupidly delicate word for what this is

But god forbid the media tickle trump’s swollen ankles wrong and not get his blessing on big mergers or tax breaks or the like

It is, they didn't want them to release the MLK files. I added what they really said at the end. It was a 100% fuck you, release the Epstein files.

Welp, can't disagree with her. Release the Epstein files.

Trump is just so keen to get people talking about something other than Epstein so Obama’s a traitor and he will release any other files than the ones where he and his pedo mate star.
