The death of Jeffrey Epstein continues to be a controversial subject, partly due to the highly suspicious circumstances around the incident.
While official reports claimed that the disgraced financier had taken his own life, many are speculating that his suicide was just a front for something much more horrific, with various implications that Epstein was killed in order to protect the interests of people who might have been affected by the fallout around his crimes.
Recently, comedian Trevor Noah has jokingly expressed similar views publicly, accusing none other than Hillary Clinton of being behind Epstein’s death.
Noah directly asked Clinton how she had killed Epstein, prompting laughter from herself and the audience for their conversation.
The Comedy Central talent stated: “I have to ask you a question that has been plaguing me for a while: How did you kill Jeffrey Epstein? Because you’re not in power, but you have all the power. I really need to understand how you do what you do, because you seem to be behind everything nefarious, and yet you do not use it to become president. Honestly, what does it feel like being the boogeyman to the right?”
The woman, who inspired the #ClintonBodyCount and Clinton Body Bags, replied with: “Well, it’s a constant surprise to me. Because the things they say, and now, of course, it’s on steroids with being online, are so ridiculous, beyond any imagination that I could have. And yet they are so persistent in putting forth these crazy ideas and theories. Honestly, I don’t know what I ever did to get them so upset.”
And while it was clear that Noah did not mean his question seriously, that did not stop many from taking his words literally and spreading them around the Internet, claiming that this was further proof that the former presidential candidate’s hands were dirty.
Despite the joking nature of the question, it has managed to stir up quite the controversy, with some claiming that Noah had gone too far with his behavior.
Others apparently found his joke hilarious, and even though he has managed to divide a large number of people with what he said, it looks like he has also received the exact kind of feedback he was hoping to get with that statement.
It will be interesting to see if his words manage to draw any further negativity from the people commenting on the incident.
Hillary Clinton is promoting her latest book, Gusty Women, written with her daughter, Chelsea Clinton.
