“We had a brief association where we exchanged emails about adult women, and in addition, we discussed movies, philanthropy and investments,” Tisch said in a statement released late on Friday night. “I did not take him up on any of his invitations and never went to his island. As we all know now, he was a terrible person and someone I deeply regret associating with.”
The statement changed little. Are we supposed to feel less icky about these interactions that he talking about movies with Epstein when he was asking if the women they were discussing were “working girls?” Tisch might not have known just how evil Epstein was, but Epstein already had a 2008 conviction for procuring a child for prostitution and of soliciting a prostitute at the time of these interactions.
The Giants must distance themselves from Tisch in anyway possible, even if the easy outcry from this — “SELL THE TEAM!” — is a fantasy. Not only did Patriots owner Robert Kraft recover from his 2019 trip to Orchids of Asia Day Spa in Jupiter, Florida, and the subsequent solicitation charges, he might be welcomed into the Pro Football Hall of Fame next weekend ahead of his former six-time Super Bowl winning coach.
