Ep092 - Will Epstein Drama Fracture MAGA?

Mackenzie is back to talk about the Trump administration's complete 180 on the Epstein conspiracies. After MAGA's full embrace and peddling of conspiracy theories surrounding Epstein, alleged client lists, and nefarious deep state connections, figures like Kash Patel, Dan Bongino, JD Vance, Pam Bondi, and Trump himself are now asking "why is anyone still talking about this?". Is the belief in these specific conspiracies something Trump can simply wave away, or will he lose support?
