Defending herself against censure on the House floor on Tuesday night, Plaskett framed Epstein as a constituent and argued that the text exchange came in February 2019, months before the federal investigation into him was public knowledge. Epstein, however, had been convicted of soliciting a minor for prostitution 11 years prior having served a jail sentence in 2008. The censure attempt narrowly failed in a 209-214 vote.

Tonight, a handful of Republicans took a dive on a vote to strip Stacy (sic) Plaskett of her position on House intel because of her ties to Epstein, wrote Rep. Kat Cammack (R-FL) on X. They did it to protect a Republican facing his own ethics issues from a similar vote. This backroom deal sh*t is swampy, wrong and always deserves to be called out.
