AUSTIN, TEXAS: Joe Rogan dug deeper into Bill Clinton's relationship with Jeffrey Epstein as he analyzed the cause of death of the sex offender. Epstein committed suicide in 2019 after being charged for allegedly leading a sex trafficking ring involving young girls. The podcast host believes he was blackmailing the former President, and claims that a bawdy artwork is evidence of this.
In a recent episode of 'The Joe Rogan Experience', Rogan recollected Epstein displaying a piece of artwork depicting Clinton in a blue dress and red heels in his New York townhouse.
'I got you b***h'
Discussing Clinton on his podcast, Rogan asked his guest, comedian and actor Duncan Trussell, "Why do you think Epstein had a giant painting of Bill Clinton in a dress in his foyer? Do you know that painting?" He further added, "That painting is like: ‘I got you, b***h. That’s what that is. You got a president who was on the flight logs 26 times with Epstein and you got that guy in a f**king dress in your house. That is, ‘I got you bitch’ … That’s terrifying … You know [Clinton] knows about it."
Clinton flew on Epstein's Boeing 727 jet 26 times between 2001 and 2003, according to Fox News. The 42nd president has denied ever visiting Epstein's 'Pedophile Island', and a representative told Forbes in 2021 that he knew “nothing about the terrible crimes Jeffrey Epstein pleaded guilty to in Florida some years ago.”
However, Rogan used the painting as proof that he had damaging information on the politician. Rogan said, "Can you imagine if I knew some horrible dark secrets about you? And you came to my house and I have a giant painting of you, right when you walk in the front door, of you in a dress and I’m like, ‘Hey buddy.’ You know how terrifying that would be? You know he knows about it. I mean, you walk right in and, bam! There’s that painting."
Trussell added, "And now you kind of control a president. Holy s**t. I don’t want to think about all the entities that ride presidents around like a f**king horse … It’s crazy to think about — a president of the United States being extorted. What would it feel like to be the president and no longer feel like you were actually the president. That you were just a puppet of some other f**king thing. That’s sinister."
'Painting of Clinton hung in Epstein’s home'
The picture is named Parsing Bill and was produced by artist Petrina Ryan-Kleid, according to Artnet. According to Kleid, Clinton's attire in the artwork is an allusion to activist Monica Lewinsky's blue dress, which was an important piece of evidence with reference to Bill Clinton's affair. She said, “It was just a silly school artwork that was supposed to show, pictorially, the messages we are bombarded with in regards to these presidents.”
A Twitter user recently shared an image of the painting. The tweet read, "Painting of Clinton hung in Epstein’s home. "Parsing Bill' by Petrina Ryan-Kleid."
