Netflix has, for now anyway, pulled the plug on the show “House of Cards,” starring Kevin Spacey, after disturbing allegations were made against the actor that resulted in a statement that was almost universally panned.

Our real president has not been accused of raping young boys. Defending pedophilia shows you have no standards. https://t.co/jxDH1oDG3S

I hate this take. It trivializes the assaults he’s allegedly committed and it almost makes it seem like you wish he hadn’t been caught https://t.co/OQkcVGzu7Z

Seems like Ron might be trying to protect more of his pals that cover this stuff up. Way to be a Hollywood company man, Ron. https://t.co/wh2f6M2G7R
