If there has been one trend that has become glaringly obvious in 2025, it is arguably the toxicity of right-wing so-called influencers. It is 59 days into the new year, and over that time, this cadre of attention-seekers has regularly embarrassed itself with horrific decision-making, narcissism, and thirst for attention. Look no further than Thursday’s disgraceful and embarrassing display of self-absorption involving the supposed release of the files related to the crimes of Jeffrey Epstein.

There may be no better example of this tomfoolery than the scene Thursday at the White House. On a day when Attorney General Pam Bondi said she would release the files of one of the greatest scandals and depraved acts of humanity in recent history, we witnessed what could only be referred to as a clown show. Instead of revealing the miscreants who engaged in abhorrent and egregious acts of sexual perversion, the country and the world saw a collection of “influencers” emerge from the White House, walking around holding up white binders and giggling like little children.
