In just two words, former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg summed up Donald Trump’s attempts to get people to stop asking about his decades-long friendship with child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.

"So, Trump says, 'We're going to release the files, we're going to release the files, we're going to release the files.' And then he says, 'We're not going to release the files,'" Buttigieg told hosts.

As the clip went viral on X, left-leaning users heaped praise upon what they feel may be an example of someone who can finally break through to the right. Buttigieg fan account @PeteReceipts was the first to laud him for this part of the interview after posting the clip on Tuesday.
