"I am in the Jeffrey Epstein files," Michael Shermer, founder of Skeptic Magazine, recently revealed. "I did get an invite to the island, the even crazier story." Despite his name appearing in the DOJ's release of Epstein's emails, Shermer says he never went to Little Saint James or committed any crimes. ••「 LINKS & SOURCES: https://drdrew.com/2252026 」•• The leaked emails reference a Skeptic Magazine event that Epstein attended without Shermer's knowledge. But this nuance hasn't stopped the fury of the internet mob: Shermer's social media is filled with attacks by people who believe anyone who ever met or spoke to Epstein must be involved in his crimes. But as the author of "Truth: What It Is, How To Find It, And Why It Still Matters", Shermer has experience in sorting fact from hysterical fiction. Dr. Drew and Michael Shermer dissect the psychology of modern witch hunts, mass hysteria, and the growing list of innocent people being targeted for "guilt by association" simply for crossing paths with a monster.
