The White House slammed far-left NYC Councilman Chi Oss\u00e9 for accusing President Trump of being a \u201cpedophile\u201d because he\u2019s mentioned in the Epstein Files.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cRather than spew egregious lies about President Trump, this Trump-deranged individual should ask Democrats like [New York Rep.] Hakeem Jeffries and [Virgin Islands Delegate] Stacey Plaskett why they were soliciting money and meetings with Epstein after he was a convicted sex offender,\u201d White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson told The Post, responding to comments made by Oss\u00e9.<\/p>\n

The Brooklyn Democratic socialist spewed the absurd claim during Thursday\u2019s City Council meeting, while alleging the\u00a0Trump administration yanked down the rainbow flag<\/a> in front of the Stonewall National Monument to distract people from the Epstein scandal. <\/p>\n

Newly released FBI documents show\u00a0Trump personally called the police chief of Palm Beach, Fla., in 2006 to thank him for investigating Epstein \u2014 and told him to \u201cfocus on\u201d the late financier\u2019s \u201cevil\u201d accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell. Getty Images<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to remind everyone that Donald Trump is potentially doing this to distract from the fact that he is in the Epstein Files, so he\u2019s trying to rile us all up,\u201d said\u00a0Oss\u00e9, who co-chairs the Council\u2019s LGBTQIA+ Caucus.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a pedophile of the United States who\u2019s sitting in the White House,\u201d he added,\u00a0ignoring newly released FBI documents<\/a> that show\u00a0Trump personally called the police chief of Palm Beach, Fla., in 2006 to thank him for investigating Epstein \u2014 and told him to \u201cfocus on\u201d the late financier\u2019s \u201cevil\u201d accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell.<\/p>\n

Other New York Democratic pols on Thursday\u00a0defied the Trump administration by planting another Pride flag<\/a> in front of the\u00a0famed Stonewall Inn in Manhattan, considered the\u00a0birthplace of the gay rights movement. <\/p>\n

Councilwoman Vickie Paladino (R-Queens) defended Trump during Thursday\u2019s session, saying \u201cto\u00a0call our sitting president a pedophile is absolutely ludicrous \u2014 and way out of line \u2014 because you can look at the Epstein Files and find a whole lot of names in there.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re pedophiles, too!\u201d\u00a0Oss\u00e9\u00a0fired back, causing Majority Leader Shaun Abreu (D-Manhattan) to bang his gavel because Oss\u00e9\u00a0spoke out of turn.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The White House slammed far-left NYC Councilman Chi Oss\u00e9 for accusing President Trump of being a \u201cpedophile\u201d because…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":133783,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[301,153,6769,57,9,56,63,65,64,6027,87,55645,58],"class_list":{"0":"post-133782","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york-city","8":"tag-city-council","9":"tag-donald-trump","10":"tag-jeffrey-epstein","11":"tag-metro","12":"tag-new-york","13":"tag-ny","14":"tag-nyc","15":"tag-nyc-headlines","16":"tag-nyc-news","17":"tag-pedophiles","18":"tag-politics","19":"tag-stonewall-inn","20":"tag-us-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133782","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=133782"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133782\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/133783"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=133782"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=133782"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=133782"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
