I Didn't Say It

Chasten Buttigieg, on Michael Elizabeth Pence’s homophobic and misogynistic “joke” about Pete Buttigieg taking “maternity” leave after the birth of his children:

“The thing about what he said is, it flies in the face of what he says he is. He says he’s a family values Republican, so I don’t think he’s practicing what he preaches. But it’s part of a much bigger trend: attacking families. And it wasn’t just about attacking the LGBTQ community, because someone wrote this [joke] and he checked it and purposely said, ‘maternity leave’ rather than ‘paternity leave,’ but also, it’s a bigger conversation about the work that women do in families, right?  … I think is a pretty misogynistic view, especially from a man who just last year said that we should be supporting more people who adopt. And you know, I spoke up for two reasons. One, I’m always going to stick up for my family, especially my kid. I know we all struggle to find a balance between work and family life and I’ve never seen someone work harder than my husband to find that balance. But I think Republican or Democrat, we can all agree that when your child, our prematurely born child, barely five pounds, when your kid is connected to a ventilator, you don’t want to be anywhere but at their bedside. So watching Gus in the hospital, for anyone who has ever experienced having a child in the ICU, when their tiny little hand is gripping around your finger. You know, I would watch Pete have to peel Gus’ fingers back and duck into the little bathroom in his room so he could do a Zoom with a virtual background so nobody would see that he’s in the hospital. The other reason I spoke up is because, like I mentioned, we all have an obligation to hold people accountable for when they say something wrong, especially when it’s misogynistic, especially when it’s homophobic. And I just don’t take that when it when it’s directed at my family.”

Let’s be clear, Michael Elizabeth Pence cares about children of straight white people, and that’s all. And, as Pete said, when asked about the “joke,” he was shocked because just the week before he’d met Pence and Pence specifically asked how his children were doing.

So, clearly this “joke” was meant for his base of haters and homophobes and misogynists, and Michael Elizabeth Pence won’t ever apologize because he’s a spineless asshat.

Michael Elizabeth Pence, former Vice President, trying to prove he has some balls and will stand against Thing 45:

“[Thing 45] was wrong. I had no right to overturn the election and his reckless words endangered my family and everyone at the Capitol that day, and I know that history will hold [him] accountable. ‘Tourists’ don’t injure 140 police officers by sightseeing; ‘tourists’ don’t break down doors to get to the Speaker of the House or voice threats against public officials. Make no mistake about it, what happened that day was a disgrace, and it mocks decency to portray it in any other way.”

And yet this little bitch won’t testify about what Thing 45 did on January 6.

Mitch McConnell, Senate Minority Leader rebuking Fox News Lies for airing selectively edited footage of the January 6 assault on the Capitol:

“With regard to the presentation on Fox News last night, I want to associate myself entirely with the opinion of the chief of Capitol Police about what happened on January 6. My concern is how it was depicted, which is a different issue. It was a mistake, in my view, for Fox News to depict this in a way that’s completely at variance with what our chief law enforcement official here at the Capitol thinks.”

But, again, Fox Lies; I mean, we’ve all heard their boss and the minions admit as much.

Ben Shapiro, MAGAt host of a podcast, on Thing 45 at CPAC:

“This is not the [Thing 45] that’s going to win him any primaries or the presidency. The [Thing 45]  who is on the revenge trail for his 2020 loss is not the guy that people actually love. It doesn’t make people love him to see this sort of stuff. Again, if you’re a [Thing 45]  fan, you should be encouraging him to do more of the East Palestine stuff and less of this.”

More of the East Palestine stuff? Like going to McDonalds? Like basically campaigning on the site of a natural disaster created by his administration.

Michael Steele, former RNC chair, on Large Marge’s call for national divorce.

“She has no clue what the hell she’s talking about. Why do we listen to this crazy fool? Marjorie Taylor Greene, please just shut the hell up. Do us all a favor. You are an embarrassment to the Republican Party and to the country as a congresswoman. We fought that war. A Republican president lost his life over trying to save the union, and this fool wants to split it? So, here we go. This is the kind of crazy that requires a lot of heavy thinking because she isn’t. Red states are paid for largely by blue states. If you want this divorce, figure out how you’re gonna pay for it.”

Nice sentiment, except Large Marge says these things for the clicks and the social media hits; sure, she’s an ignorant, racist, Adulterous, dumb bitch, but most of the crap that falls from her mouth f for attention.

Junior, crying and high, about being banned from Fox News by … Paul Ryan?

“[Paul Ryan] is the guy on the board of Fox News, which also explains a lot about the direction and some of the content I’m seeing out there folks. This explains, to me, almost everything, frankly. I know I haven’t been invited on in six months, so I’m sure that’s him pushing his RINO, America Last, war-forever garbage to the Democrats’ agenda.”

Er, Junior? Maybe Fox News wants to wait until you come down from your cocaine induced frenzy before allowing your jittery stuttering ass to spew more lies on the network.

I Didn't Say It ...

Rudy Giuliani, raging about a scene in the sequel to Sacha Baron Cohen’s Borat, in which he plays with his genitals on a bed while having a drink with the actress who plays Borat’s 15-year-old daughter:

“The Borat video is a complete fabrication. I was tucking in my shirt after taking off the recording equipment. At no time before, during, or after the interview was I ever inappropriate. If Sacha Baron Cohen implies otherwise he is a stone-cold liar. In fact, the NY Post today reports ‘it looks to me like an exaggeration through editing.’ As soon as I realized it was a set up I called the police, which has been noted in THR article on July 8th. This is an effort to blunt my relentless exposure of the criminality and depravity of Joe Biden and his entire family. Deadline Hollywood reports CAA had a distribution screening in September where there was no mention of the scene holding any importance. We are preparing much bigger dumps off of the hard drive from hell, of which Joe Biden will be unable to defend or hide from. I have the receipts.”

This looks like, as someone said on Twitter, a clear-cut case of “erection fraud.”

Oh, and Rudy, who lays down on a bed to tuck in their shirt?

Michael Steele, former Chair of the Republican Party, has endorsed Joe Biden for president:

“America has watched as the Republican Party stopped pursuing its animating principles of freedom and opportunity [and] given up its voice on things that mattered and instead bent the arc of the party towards the baser motives of one man, who is neither a Republican nor a conservative. Rather than binding up the nation’s wounds, _____ exacerbates division. Rather than standing up to the world’s dictators, ______ cravenly seeks the favor of thugs. Rather than fostering free enterprise, _____embraces economic principles not only outdated in Lincoln’s time, but made even worse today by a leader who lost close to a billion dollars in a single year running a casino. Rather than seeking to build on the legacy of the Republican Party’s founders, of which ______ is surely ignorant, _____ has posited a single purpose for the GOP—the celebration of him. I long to restore that trust with the American people. However, what many inside and outside the GOP fail to grasp now is that our lack of standing with the American people is not the fault of our ideals or the principles we espouse, but rather due to our failure to stand up against the arrogance of power and the erosion of our principles.”

I doubt the GOP will ever fully recover from their blind devotion to a racist rapist lying pig and I’m good with that!

Dan Rather, on the GOPers who are suddenly trying to distance themselves from _____:

“It’s tempting to use the analogy of rats fleeing a sinking ship to describe the growing number of Republican elected officials starting to speak out against Donald _____. But that’s really not fair to rats, who tend not to be complicit in driving ships to the bottom of the sea.”

It’s too little, too late; where were their balls and backbones all these years.

Dr. Anthony Fauci, on ______ contracting COVID-19:

“I was worried he was going to get sick when I saw him in a completely precarious situation of crowded, no separation between people, and almost nobody wearing a mask. When I saw that on TV I said [Fauci face palms with both hands] ‘Oh my goodness.’ Nothing good can come out of that. That’s gotta be a problem. And then sure enough it turned out to be a superspreader event.”

Science. I believe it; I believe Fauci.

Ben Sasse, GOP Senator from Nebraska, ripped ______ in a phone call with constituents:

“The way he kisses dictators’ butts. I mean, the way he ignores the Uighurs, our literal concentration camps in Xinjiang. Right now, he hasn’t lifted a finger on behalf of the Hong-Kongers. The United States now regularly sells out our allies under his leadership, the way he treats women, spends like a drunken sailor. The ways I criticize President Obama for that kind of spending; I’ve criticized President Trump for as well. He mocks evangelicals behind closed doors. His family has treated the presidency like a business opportunity. He’s flirted with white supremacists.”

Oh, Ben, he’s been doing this for years, so quit acting all faux-indignant. You carried water for him since election day 2016, so, no, I don’t care what you think now. If he wins reelection, you’re start goose-stepping all over again.

Caroline Giuliani, Rudy’s daughter, coming out as a Biden supporter:

“I am a filmmaker in the LGBTQ+ community who tells stories about mental health, sexuality, and other stigmatized issues, and my goal is to humanize people and foster empathy. So, I hope you’ll believe me when I say that another ______ term … will irrevocably harm the LGBTQ+ community, among many others. His administration asked the Supreme Court to let businesses fire people for being gay or trans, pushed a regulation to let health care providers refuse services to people who are LGTBQ+, and banned trans people from serving their country in the military. I fully understand that some of you want a nominee who is more progressive. For others the idea of voting for a Democrat of any kind may be a hurdle. Now I have another confession to make. Biden wasn’t my first choice when the primaries started. But I know what is at stake, and Joe Biden will be everyone’s president if elected. If you are planning to cast a symbolic vote or abstain from voting altogether, please reconsider.”

While Daddy is adjusting his Little Rudy on film while his daughter is standing for America.

I Didn't Say It ...

Trevor Noah, The Daily Show, mocking _____’s ‘Obamagate’ lie in which he accuses a real president of a crime but won’t say what that crime is:

“That’s just weird. According to _____, Obama committed the worst political crime in American history. But _____ won’t tell us what the crime is because it’s so obvious that you don’t even need to ask. Even though, everyone needs to ask. _____ is treating Obama less like a criminal, and more like they’re in a relationship and _____ feels like Obama messed up … [imitating _____] … ‘If you don’t know what you did wrong, well I’m not gonna tell you … My friends were right about you, never date a Leo!’”

That’s the _____ MO; put out a lie and tell people he knows, but he’s not gonna tell you.

Less presidential and more fourth grade bully.

Mitch McConnell, Senate Majority Leader, criticizing former President Barack Obama for his criticism of _____:

“I think it’s a little bit classless, frankly, to critique an administration that comes after you. You had your shot, you were there for eight years. I think the tradition that the Bush [presidents] set up—of not critiquing the president who comes after you—is a good tradition.”

Ironic that a man who proposed sending no financial aid, or medical supplies to Blue States is calling anyone else classless.

Obama called _____’s response to the coronavirus “an absolute chaotic disaster” ,,, which it was and is … and expressed concern about Billy Barr and The DOJ’s decision to drop charges against former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn, saying it was a move that puts our “basic understanding of rule of law…at risk.”

Take a gander in the mirror, Bitch McConnell; that’s what classless looks like.

photo

Michael Steele, former Republican National Committee Chair, ripped Bitch McConnell for saying Obama “should have kept his mouth shut” instead of criticizing _____ in a private call:

 “I’m sure Mitch is aware that a grown ass black man who happens to be a former president has agency to speak his mind on how his successor is managing this crisis, especially since his successor has yet to keep ‘his mouth shut’ about him. And ‘classless’?”

Mitch is a pandering goose-stepping party over country fuck America lowlife.

Bryan Adams, Canadian rocker, putting forth the China Virus lie of social media, as part of a caption to his song “Cuts Like A Knife”:

“Tonight was supposed to be the beginning of a tenancy of gigs at the [Royal Albert Hall], but thanks to some f**king bat eating, wet market animal selling, virus making greedy bastards, the whole world is now on hold, not to mention the thousands that have suffered or died from this virus. My message to them other than ‘thanks a f**king lot’ is go vegan. To all the people missing out on our shows, I wish I could be there more than you know. It’s been great hanging out in isolation with my children and family, but I miss my other family, my band, my crew and my fans. Take care of yourselves and hope we can get the show on the road again soon. I’ll be performing a snippet from each album we were supposed to perform for the next few days.”

Fuck off, you racist hack. You’re pissy because you aren’t making coins, and clearly your bank account is more important than human lives …as it is with racists.

Adams, when Twitter dragged him for being a racist asshat, apologoized, saying:

“Apologies to any and all that took offence to my posting yesterday. No excuse, I just wanted to have a rant about the horrible animal cruelty in these wet-markets being the possible source of the virus, and promote veganism.”

Um, Bryan, you can do that without the racism.

Just sayin’.

Peter Navarro, White House trade adviser, ridiculing the media’s coverage of the staggering 14.7% unemployment rate caused by the COVID-19 pandemic:

“That was a pity party yesterday on the Sunday shows. This is not the Great Depression. Anybody who thinks this is the Great Depression doesn’t understand either history or economics. [_____] built the strongest and most beautiful economy before the virus took hold.”

I guess 33 million people out of work is a pity party for a fucking one-percenter.

And Peter, it matters not what ____ did before the virus—and let’s be clear, he inherited a good economy—it matters what he’s done since…and that’s the fuck up, asshat.

Rand Paul, going after Anthony Fauci at this week’s all-GOP Senate hearing on the coronavirus crisis.

“Shouldn’t we be at least be discussing what the mortality of children is? … It’s not going to be zero but it almost approaches zero. Between [the ages of] 18 and 45, the mortality was 10 out of 100,000. … I hope that people who are predicting doom and gloom [about opening up various economies around the nation] will admit that they were wrong if there isn’t a surge because I think that’s what’s going to happen. As much as I respect you, I don’t think you’re the ‘end all,’ I don’t think you’re the one person that gets to make a decision. We can listen to your advice but there are people on the other side saying ‘there’s not going to be a surge.'”

Ah, yes, it’s true, there are people on the other side who say there isn’t going to be a surge, but they are doctors or scientists or medical professionals, they’re all GOP asshat who want to economy to return so their traitorous inept racist rapist leader can win an election.

Who cares if children die as long as ____ gets a second term.

PS Lockdown hasn’t been good to Rand; he looks like the Unabomber.

photo

Dr. Anthony Fauci, replying to Rand Paul:

“First of all, I have never made myself out to be the ‘end all’ and the only voice of this. I am a scientist, a physician, and a public health official. I give advice according to the best scientific evidence. … You use the word ‘we should be humble about what we don’t know.’ We don’t know everything about this virus, and we really better be very careful, particularly when it comes to children. Because the more and more we learn, we’re seeing things about what this virus can do that we didn’t see from the studies in China or in Europe. For example, right now, children presenting with COVID-19 who actually have a very strange inflammatory syndrome, very similar to Kawasaki syndrome. I think we better be careful, that we are not cavalier in thinking that children are completely immune to the deleterious effects.”

Huh. He sounds like he knows what he’s talking about while all Rand Paul can do is stomp his feet and whine about dead children not being that big a deal.

Who do you choose to believe? The man who wants to stop this mess, or the man who doesn’t really care if children get sick and die as long as the nail salons open.

I Didn't Say It ...

Jamie Lee Curtis, promoting the new mystery thriller Knives Out, was asked about the sexual orientation of her Halloween character, and then talked outing of LGBTQ+ people:

“I don’t think it’s anybody’s business what people’s sexuality is, to be perfectly honest. I find it like a reverse discrimination. People’s private lives are their private lives and whether I’ve ever kissed a girl—have not—is irrelevant to whatever advocacy I participate in. [It’s] sort of destructive cocktail party fodder what people’s sexuality is, [it’s] nobody’s business, it doesn’t matter [unless] you legislate anti-gay legislation but are gay. I fully accept outing those people for the hypocrisy.”

While I believe every LGBTQ+ person should come out, I also believe it’s a personal choice, and a personal time, to do so.

That said, I’m 100% with Jamie Lee that every single self-loathing closeted politician who works against the LGBTQ+ community should be outed at every turn.

Roy Moore, bigot, homophobe, pedophile, U.S. Senate and former Alabama Chief Justice candidate, wanting to ‘go back’:

“We have got to go back to what we did back in the sixties and seventies back to a moral basis. Abortion was not legal when I went to Vietnam. It was passed later. We had abortion laws in our country and our state. We did not have same sex marriage. We did not have transgender rights. Sodomy was illegal. These things were just not around when my classmates and I went to West Point and Vietnam. We have drag queens teaching kindergarten children in this state and this community….in Huntsville in Mobile they taught kids and they dress them up in drag. Where does this come from? Gender identity is being taught in California to young kids and parents have no choice but to let their kids be taught that.”

Roy would also like to go back to black people at the back of the bus … or in chains.

Rpy Moore can fuck off.

Adam Schiff, saying _____ should have the “courage” to testify, but isn’t going to take him to court to compel it:

“We’ve certainly been in touch with his lawyer and what we’ve been informed by his lawyer because we invited him and he did not choose to come in and testify … is if we subpoena him, they will sue us in court. Now, he will have to explain one day if he maintains that position why he wanted to wait to put it in a book instead of telling the American people what he knew when it really mattered to the country.”

_____ will never testify because his ego is so big he’ll believe he can say anything and still be found not guilty.

Plus, he’s a chickenshit little draft-dodging asshat.

Fiona Hill, former top White House Russia adviser, at the impeachment hearings  asking to respond to Republican attacks, after three GOP congressmen in a row used their five-minute question allotments to criticize the impeachment inquiry and its witnesses:

"I don't believe there should be any interference of any kind in our election. ... That's actually why as a nonpartisan person and as an expert on Russia and an expert on Vladimir Putin and on the Russian security services, I wanted to come in to serve the country to try to see if I could help. ... We're here to relate to you what we heard, what we saw and what we did. And to be of some help to all of you in really making a very momentous decision here. We are not the people who make that decision."

She said this as two of three GOP congressman who were there to get testimony from her, testified themselves, and then left the room like the pandering little lapdogs all Republicans seems to be right now.

Michael Steele, former Republican National Committee Chairman, blasting that organization for buying nearly $100,000 worth of copies Junior’s book:

"Let me just tell you how screwed up this is. Before I became national chairman, I’d written a book on how the Republican Party can regroup after the 2008 shellacking, after the 2006 bang-up at the polls and move forward. And people looked at me and said, 'How dare you write a book and try to profit off the RNC?' And these SOBs are just giving away $100,000 to [_____’s} son? Are you kidding me? This is the kind of internal corruption that people complained about inside the RNC for a long time. ... There’s no surprise here."

GOP. Lapdogs. Goose-stepping.

Out of fear of losing their cushy jobs, not of doing the right thing for their country.,

Rick Perry, Energy Secretary, going off the deep end on FOX & Friends:

“God’s used imperfect people all through history. King David wasn’t perfect, Saul wasn’t perfect, Solomon wasn’t perfect. I actually gave the president a little one-pager on those old testament kings about a month ago. And I shared it with him and said, ‘Mr. President, I know there are people that say you said you were the chosen one, and I said, ‘You were.’ I said, ‘If you’re a believing Christian, you understand God’s plan for the people who rule and judge over us on this planet in our government.'”

If God chose ______, then She chose him to show us what happens when we elect a snake-oil salesman She chose him to show that those so-called Evangelicals are nothing more than racist illiterate tools. She chose him to show where we are headed when Hate takes over.

And She’s not happy that anyone thinks _____ is the real Chosen One.

I Didn't Say It ...

Franklin Graham, professional Christian hypocrite, on _____’s extra-marital affairs:

“I can promise you he is not President Perfect. I don’t think [he] has admitted to having an affair with this person and so, this is just a news story, I don’t know if it’s accurate. Now did he have an affair with this woman? I have no clue, but I believe that 70 years of age, the president is a much different person today than he was four years ago, five years ago, ten years ago or whatever and we just have to give the man the benefit of the doubt.”

Here’s the man of whom you speak, you double-talking assmonkey: he was married to a woman and cheated on her with a woman who because his second wife, with whom he cheated on with the woman who because his second wife, and now we have two other women who say they had affairs with him while he was married.

Not to mention the sixteen women who have accused the Fat Bastard or being a sexual predator.

But do go on defending him, God will want to hear more about that right before she sends you to Hell.

Megyn Kelly, clapping back at Jane Fonda for making a wisecrack about her on TV last week about Kelly asking Fonda about her plastic surgeries:

“I have no regrets about the question. Nor am I in the market for a lesson from Jane Fonda on what is and is not appropriate. After all, this is a woman whose name is synonymous with outrage…Look at her treatment of our military during the Vietnam war, many of our veterans still call her ‘Hanoi Jane’ thanks to her radio broadcasts which attempted to shame American troops. She posed on an anti-aircraft gun used to shoot down our American pilots. She called our POWs hypocrites and liars and referred to their torture as ‘understandable.’ Even she had to apologize years later for that gun picture. But not for the rest of it. By the way she still says she is not proud of America. So, the moral indignation is a little much. She put her plastic surgery out there. She said she wanted to discuss the plight of older women in America. And honestly she has no business lecturing anyone on what qualifies as offensive.”

First off, Megyn, clearly you’re still toeing the Fox News line and now your real face is being seen. Good luck getting any more celebrity interviews again.

And, Megyn, Jane Fonda has apologized over and over again, for nearly the last thirty years about what she said and did during the Vietnam war.

And lastly, you sanctimonious cow, if Fonda is so distasteful to your sensibilities why did you ask to have her on your show?

Oh yeah … you’re a media whore. Siddown.

Donald _____, after his health results, fabricated though they might be, were released, on his exercise regimen:

“I get more exercise than people think. I get exercise. I mean I walk, I this, I that. I run over to a building next door.”

Oh, the This/That regimen? How’s that working out for you, ya Fat Bastard? And, seriously, I don’t think anyone has ever seen you run, unless it’s toward the buffet.

Also, this is the man who has said he prefers to take a golf cart between holes because “I don’t want to spend the time” walking.

Lazy lying fat bastard.

Mark Steyn, Fox News pundit, on undocumented immigrants and white supremacist:

“Chris Cuomo [says] that the real problem is white supremacists in America. They are the real monsters. Not these nice hard working illegal immigrants. That may be well and true. I mean, for the purposes of argument let’s say he is right, it’s irrelevant. The white supremacists are American citizens. The illegal immigrants are people who shouldn’t be here.”

Oh, so if the murderer is born here, that’s a different thing? And you’d prefer a white supremacist over a hard-working illegal immigrant?

Ass.

Michael Steele, former Republican National Committee chair, on Family Research Council president Tony Perkins giving _____ a pass on paying huish money to a porn star to cover upo their affair:

 “I have very simple admonition: just shut the hell up and don’t preach to me about anything ever again. After telling me who to love, what to believe, what to do and what not to do and now you sit back and the prostitutes don’t matter, the grabbing the you-know-what doesn’t matter, the outright behavior and lies don’t matter, just shut up! They have no voice of authority anymore for me.”

Tammy Duckworth, Democratic Senator from Illinois, saying she would not accept a lecture about military funding from _____:

“I spent my entire adult life looking out for the well-being, the training, the equipping of the troops for whom I was responsible. Sadly, this is something the current occupant of the Oval Office does not seem to care to do. And I will not be lectured about what our military needs by a five-deferment draft dodger. I have a message for Cadet Bone Spurs: If you cared about our military, you’d stop baiting Kim Jong Un into a war that could put 85,000 American troops and millions of innocent civilians in danger.”

First off: snap!

Secondly: he needs a war to massage his fragile lard-filled ego, and since porn starts have stopped taking his massage calls, what’s a Fat Bastard to do?

Mike Pence, lying Christian Vice President, telling our troops that the Democrats have cut off their paychecks with the shut-down:

“I’m sure you’re all aware of what’s happening in Washington, D.C. Despite bipartisan support for a budget resolution, a minority in the Senate has decided to play politics with military pay. But you deserve better. You and your families shouldn’t have to worry for one minute about whether you’re going to get paid as you serve in the uniform of the United States. The President, the Vice President, and the American people are not going to put up with it.”

Trouble is, anyone with an internet connection can see a clip of Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell blocking a Democratic resolution to continue paying the military during the shutdown.

So, again, it’s the GOP doing the harm, and then lying about it.

Fuck ‘em all.

Viola Davis, actress, speaking at the Women’s March in Los Angeles about the history of Jim Crow laws and the black, Latin and Native Americans they oppressed:

“And the reason why these Jim Crow laws were in place have stifled my rights and your rights is because we fell asleep. We fall asleep when we’re moving ahead and we don’t look to the left and right and see that we’re not including people ... Because really, at the end of the day, we only move forward when it doesn’t cost us anything. But I’m here today saying that no one and nothing can be great unless it costs you something. When I raise my hand, I am aware of all the women who are still in silence. The women who are faceless. The women who don’t have the money and don’t have the constitution and who don’t have the confidence and who don’t have the images in our media that gives them a sense of self-worth enough to break their silence that is rooted in the shame of assault, that’s rooted in the stigma of assault. Nothing and no one can be great without a cost. I am always introduced as an award-winning actor, but my testimony is one of poverty, of one being assaulted and very much seeing a childhood that was robbed from me. I know that every single day when I think of that, I know the trauma of those events are still with me today ... That’s what allows me to listen to the women who still sit in silence. I stand in solidarity with all women who raised their hands because I know that it was not easy. My hope for the future is that we never go back.” 

Juts more proof that if you forget what happened before, and don’t look out for it, it could happen again.
