The Hypocrisy Olympics

Yes, there was a sex ring. The multimillionaire at the heart of it traveled with a harem of women and used them for his own sexual needs. But he regularly pimped them out to high-profile men as well. He assigned each woman a number so that the john, after viewing what was on offer, would just have to tell him which number he wanted. When the pimp had used up a particular woman, he’d discard her and replace her with a new one. It was really as vile as all that, and it’s absolutely true. The guy bragged about it.

 

Jeffrey Epstein?

 

Heck, no. I’m talking the man who’s currently being celebrated for his role as honorary coach of Team USA at the Winter Olympics: Snoop Dogg, America’s most beloved thug.

 

“I put an organization together,” Snoop told Rolling Stone in 2013. “I did a Playboy tour, and I had a bus follow me with ten bitches on it. I could fire a bitch, f**k a bitch, get a new ho: It was my program. City to city, t**ty to t**ty, hotel room to hotel room, athlete to athlete, entertainer to entertainer…. A lot of athletes bought p**sy from me.” 

 

Well, at least he sounded conscience-stricken about it.

 

And there’s this. Snoop went on his pimp tour in 2003, when he had already been a rich and wildly successful recording artist for a decade. Which is perhaps why he was more generous than most pimps. “I’d act like I’d take the money from the bitch,” he said, “but I’d let her have it.” 

 

What a guy, huh.

 

I previously wrote about Snoop in the context of anti-Semitism. Namely, about how the liberal establishment took a career-long defender of Louis Farrakhan and elevated him to the heights of cultural acceptability. 

 

Why am I writing about him now? Because while Americans have worked themselves into a moral fit and launched a witch hunt for anyone whose name is mentioned glancingly in the Epstein files, they’re also delighted to their core that, as one CNN headline has it, “Coach Snoop is having a blast at the Olympics.” This is about moral hypocrisy. 

 

Unlike Snoop, Jeffrey Epstein—at least from what the files have revealed—didn’t run a sex ring. He was a disgusting man who trafficked in women and underage females to satisfy his own perversions. And the country remains out for blood, as if we must run down everyone who ever crossed his path and exact punishment in order to avenge the crimes of the global elite and cleanse the system. 

 

Look, a lot of powerful people maintained relationships with a known child sex predator. That’s shocking, shameful, and gross. And it should inform your opinion of such figures. But if you want to get to the heart of how people can dismiss or ignore the vile transgressions of the rich and famous, take a look at the Americans of all walks of life who are embracing our ex-pimp cultural ambassador in Milano Cortina. A little consideration of the public’s hypocrisy here might serve to dial down the hysteria. And if you’re cheering Snoop while gunning for Epstein’s correspondents, mind the pitchfork as you applaud.
