PRESS RELEASE

Jeff Crank’s Reaction to Epstein Victim’s Family: “Haha”

First, Crank voted to cover up the Epstein files twice. Then he refused to even meet with his own constituents. Now, after a year of silence, his office is mocking them

Colorado Springs, CO — During an emotional press conference today with the brother and sister-in-law of late Jeffrey Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre, following a new ad featuring the family, Jeff Crank and his office added insult to injury by mocking the family.

Today, after speaking out about the incident, Sky and Amanda Roberts finally received a response to a text thread from more than a year earlier requesting a meeting and asking for the public release of the Epstein files: a callous “haha” emoji reaction to their message.

Referencing the last time she or her husband heard from Crank’s office, which was in September 2025, Amanda Roberts said today: “[Crank] did not sign that [discharge] petition, and we did not get an answer from his office until this morning. I was very shocked to see that thread pop, and it was an emoji that said “ha ha”… Nothing about this is funny, and nothing about this situation deserves that type of negligence.”

Killin posted on X this afternoon: “This is no way to treat your constituents, let alone the family of an Epstein survivor.”
