What the 'Epstein didn't kill himself' meme is now: a decidedly mainstream way to get attention, be it to sell beer or get on the presidential primary ballot

The Clintons killed him, or Trump killed him, or a mysterious “someone” killed him.
As the meme spread in all the normal meme-spreading ways, an 85-year-old forensic pathologist went on Fox News on October 30 and threw gas on the fire. Michael Baden, who had been hired by Mark Epstein to observe his brother’s autopsy, told Fox & Friends that “the evidence points to homicide rather than suicide.”
The meme had gone mainstream. Conservatives latched on to it a little tighter than liberals, in part because of the Clinton connection to Epstein, the revelation that ABC News buried a scoop about Epstein’s crimes years ago, and the notion that, as TownHall.com’s Kurt Schlichter wrote, the meme is “a way of demonstrating our wokeness to the corruption, the incompetence, and the staggering ineptitude of those who presume to posture themselves as our betters.
