DNC 2020: Bill Clinton slammed for speech on Trump just hours after massage photos with Epstein victim leaks

Trump supporters took to Twitter to note that they were supporting the Republican party owing to the controversies the Democrats are entangled in while referring to Clinton's latest viral pictures

Only hours before former President Bill Clinton's appearance at the National Democratic Convention, a few pictures of him allegedly enjoying a massage from a victim of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein started doing the rounds on the Internet. The masseuse seen in the picture is one of Epstein's accusers Chauntae Davies, who was 22 at the time. 

Davies was reportedly asked to massage Clinton's neck after his apparent flight to Africa in 2002 on Epstein's private jet The Lolita Express, according to a Daily Mail report. The report suggested that Epstein's former lover Ghislaine Maxwell allegedly asked Davies if she "would mind giving it a crack?" as Clinton suffered from stiffness during the flight. 

As the alleged pictures of Clinton went viral online, people took to Twitter to express their opinion about the former President coming out in support of the Democrats at the DNC 2020. Many questioned his alleged relationship with Epstein as they wondered if having him speak was an ideal choice after being embroiled in a controversy of this capacity. 

A couple of Twitter users slammed the Democratic party while criticizing it for snubbing the #MeToo movement by having Clinton as the speaker, owing to his alleged history with Epstein. One user wrote, "The Democratic Party appears to be 'suspending' the #MeToo movement for an evening to accommodate former President Bill Clinton's opportunity to speak at their convention". Another added, "If Bill Clinton speaks at the Democrat Convention tonight, the Democrats will cancel MeToo. Completely."

One tweet comically read, "Hate to be like this, but @BillClinton looks and sounds absolutely HORRIBLE at the #DNC2020. Whoever did this aged man's makeup should be fired."

Meanwhile, Trump supporters took to Twitter to note that they were supporting the Republican party owing to the controversies the Democrats are entangled in while referring to Clinton's latest viral pictures. One user wrote, "As America endures another painful night of Democratic Convention, one is reminded of just why we support @realDonaldTrump. Bill Clinton, addressing the nation just hours after images of him getting back message by Epstein victim, tells you all you really need to know. #MAGA"

However, a few Clinton supporters have come to his defense and said that he wasn't involved in any crime and illegal activity despite knowing Epstein. Davies, talking about her pictures with Clinton, reportedly said in a statement to Daily Mail, "Although the image looks bizarre, President Clinton was a perfect gentleman during the trip and I saw absolutely no foul play involving him."

One supporter of Clinton tweeted, "Unlike Trump, Bill Clinton actually apologized for his indiscretions, and was a good Democratic president for the people."

Another added, "Even the though the victim said that Bill Clinton didn’t assault her. I don’t think you read the article you linked. This is problem with our culture, we don’t care about facts anymore. Read the article. The victim said she wasn’t abused by Bill Clinton."

Clinton's office denied the former President's knowledge about Epstein's crimes. "President Clinton knows nothing about the terrible crimes Jeffrey Epstein pleaded guilty to in Florida some years ago, or those with which he has previously been charged in New York," read the statement.
