We’ve finally come to the end of the presidential election nightmare storyline on ABC’s Scandal which means a return to plots that don’t have to do with elite bureaucrats for once. Unfortunately, that just gives the show more opportunities to return to its liberal talking points - I mean roots. This week, it’s the unfriendly message that apparently Trump supporters are potential racist church bombers.
In the May 11 episode “Head Games,” Olivia Pope Associates (OPA) research a case for the President Grant’s final pardon in office. One case that the team thinks deserves a pardon is of a black man serving a life sentence for killing a "bigot" who we later find out was a supporter of the show's Trump-parody candidate Hollis Doyle. If that’s not enough to give you pause (and it was for me), just wait until you learn more.
