And she’s right.

@TravisAGunn “a risk” and it’s one of the biggest shows they’ve ever had

Shonda Rhimes fought and won. And we’re all better off for it.

Did anyone else had to Google who Connie Britton was and then said “oooh yeah her…” 😂😂

I’ll teach you this, I would’ve never watched Scandal if Olivia Pope was white.

Olivia Pope walked so Annaliese Keating could run. TGIT night - what a time to be alive.

And ironically the show that’s saving weeknight television is a show staring a black woman in Quinta Brunson. Thank god for Abbott Elementary

this is why Quinta is such a real ass bitch. Abbott has two white people the whole show. like all the kids are Black and you don’t even realize it until this season when they got their first white student

I really don’t think it would’ve made sense had Olivia been white. The entire premise would’ve been different.

Connie Britton??? Absolutely not. It would’ve flopped

I also took this question to mean could scandal in real life, as portrayed on the show, happen today. In that case absolutely yes!
