In a recent speech at a rally in Atlanta, Georgia, Democratic Senator Jon Ossoff lambasted the Trump administration, dubbing it the "Epstein class" and accusing it of serving the interests of the ultra-rich rather than working-class Americans. Ossoff's remarks, which have gone viral on social media, have been widely praised by Democrats who see them as a powerful rebuke of the perceived corruption and elitism of the Trump presidency.
Why it matters
Ossoff's speech comes amid an ongoing scandal surrounding the release of millions of pages of documents related to the Jeffrey Epstein case, which have implicated high-profile figures including Trump. Democrats are seeking to build unity and appeal to moderates ahead of the 2026 midterm elections, where control of Congress hangs in the balance. Ossoff's fiery rhetoric targeting the Trump administration's ties to the wealthy elite could resonate with voters frustrated by rising costs and perceived government corruption.
The details
In his 30-minute speech, Ossoff accused the Trump administration of being "the wealthiest cabinet ever" and serving the interests of "the elites they pretend to hate." He criticized the administration for policies that he said benefited billionaires like George Soros and Elon Musk at the expense of working-class Americans, and for continuing "war for oil and nation-building" foreign policies despite Trump's promises to end them.
