Republican Rep. Paul Gosar spelled out the phrase “Epstein didn’t kill himself” using the first letter of each tweet in a string of 23 tweets.
The tweets spell out the phrase when read in reverse chronological order. The first tweet begins, “Evidence of a link between foreign aid and political investigations simply does not exist. The longer this circus continues the clearer it becomes that @realDonaldTrump has done absolutely nothing wrong.”

The phrase has gone viral and sparked countless memes since Jeffrey Epstein, a billionaire convicted sex offender on trial for sex trafficking, was found dead in his Manhattan prison cell in August. The New York City chief medical examiner ruled his death a suicide, but others, including a medical examiner hired by Epstein’s family, said that it appeared more consistent with homicide.
The phrase was also recently dropped into an MSNBC interview with a college student at the University of Alabama football game.
“Why do you like him so much, and what policies stand out to you?” she asked a male student at the game.
“I would say mainly just the no-nonsense policies and especially since Jeffrey Epstein didn’t kill himself,” he responded. “That’s awesome. Just totally perfect.”
Mike Ritland, a former Navy SEAL, also made the same claim at the tail end the end of an appearance on Fox News.
