‘I Didn’t Know About Epstein’s Crimes Because I’m Gay’: Disgraced Former British Ambassador to the US, Lord Peter Mandelson Uses the ‘Gay Card’ To Try To Evade Responsibility
Mandelson thinks we are all gullible simpletons.
Disgraced former British Ambassador to the US, Lord Mandelson, has claimed to have been ‘kept in the dark’ about Jeffrey Epstein’s sex crimes ‘because he was gay’.
The Telegraph reported:
“The peer was sacked as ambassador to the United States last year after it emerged [that] he had urged the financier to fight for early release from prison.
Lord Mandelson claimed that, because of his sexuality, he was ‘kept separate from what [Epstein] was doing in the sexual side of his life’.”
He described Epstein as his ‘best pal’, but argues he was kept ‘at the edge of this man’s life’.
BBC’s Laura Kuenssberg carried water for him, and asked whether he was never offered sexual favors by Epstein ‘because he was gay’.
“He replied: “Possibly, some people will think that because I’m a gay man, I was unsensitized, or I wasn’t attuned to what was going on. […] I don’t really accept [any guilt]. I think the issue is that because I was a gay man in his circle, I was kept separate from what he was doing in the sexual side of his life. […] I mean, he in a sense had three buckets of people in his life, the business and the financial, the political and the academic, and then what he was doing with young women.”
