BELIEVE THE WOMEN
Broadway’s Audra McDonald Delivers Masterful Takedown of Lindsey Graham’s Attack on Third Kavanaugh Accuser

This two-year old tweet from former Never Trumper Lindsey Graham has been making the rounds a lot the past few months.
If we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed…….and we will deserve it.
— Lindsey Graham (@LindseyGrahamSC) May 3, 2016
Senator Graham has since done a full 180, and now is an Always Trumper, a Trumpette, a Trump Forever kind of guy.
The tweet has been making the rounds the past few months because for the past few months Graham has been embarrassing himself, kissing up to the president whom he once despised.
In defense of his new master, Senator Graham (rumored to be a top Trump pick to replace Attorney General Jeff Sessions after the midterms) has been defending Judge Kavanaugh and attacking Kavanaugh’s accusers all week.
In his latest tweet he goes after Julie Swetnick – who accuses Kavanaugh of contributing to the enabling of gang rapes – and her attorney, Michael Avenatti.
From my view, just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse, it just did.
The lawyer to porn stars has just taken this debacle to an even lower level.
I hope people will be highly suspicious of this allegation presented by Michael Avenatti.

Enter Audra McDonald, a Broadway star and singer who has won more Tony awards (six) than anyone else in history. Her list of accomplishments is just too long to include here, but among them is being an LGBTQ ally and a consistent civil rights activist.
She’s also very good at it.
Exhibit One: This tweet she just posted in response to Senator Graham’s temper tanturm:
Your president slept with said porn star just weeks after his wife gave birth to his child. https://t.co/meXJASCGAg
