Nobody ought to be surprised. Trump was publicly good friends with Epstein.
“I’ve known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy,” Trump booms from a speakerphone. “He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it — Jeffrey enjoys his social life.”
Out of context and from another speaker I would interpret that statement as “I’ve had longstanding connections with this guy. Watch out, he’s a perv but to a degree that’s publicly tolerable. Watch out, he’s got a thing for young girls. All of that has to be tolerated because he’s socially connected.”
Given the speaker, though that between the lines reading may be giving too much credit.
Your hypothetical interpretation is as generous as you can reasonably be. Some people manage to sincerely believe “He had no idea” and it’s ridiculous.
You act like republicans think pedophelia is a sin
Again. EVERYTHING republicans accuse others of doing is projection. They lack any degree of empathy or shame so if there is something they do then Others are doing it but bad.

How the fuck do you hear a man say that and sincerely think “He had no idea Epstein was a pedo”?

Willful ignorance.
