This actor may have voted twice for #44, but now he’s giving Trump props for stepping up where Obama didn’t. That might explain his #walkaway hashtag.
Stories like this one are helping move the needle in making voters who once marched lockstep with Democrats because that was ‘expected of them’ give the alternatives a second look.
If you’re a Grey’s Anatomy fan, you will remember Isaiah Washington as Dr. Preston Burke.
He made headlines because he was invited the White House, under the Current President — and he went!
The reason he went was a something of a big deal.
It had to do with legislation Trump was going to sign.
I voted for 44 twice. I even checked my emails in his Senate Office while lobbying for Salone to be given another chance to rebrand. Not once in 8 years was I given any support regarding Africa or the Black Agenda, but 45 invites me to the WH to celebrate the #FirstStepAct ??♂️

What was so special about it? Well, he already mentioned the part about it being a political accomplishment that was NOT on the menu under Obama. But what else?

It was about who it helped. Here he is in the White House:

Some more tweets about the event itself.
Trump and Van Jones make unlikely partners, don’t they? But some ideas take people beyond traditional party lines.

He even tells people how to learn about the act itself.
I know we are in a “Headline Society” don’t take time to read, but you need to read and understand what the #FirstStepAct ?? is all about and also understand why this bill is better than what the last administration was trying to push through. THIS: https://t.co/HBoVu6He1o

That’s a long way from the boilerplate hate we’re used to getting from Hollywood, isn’t it?
You won’t find any ‘racist-sexist-homophobe’ chants here.
Like we said, its the kind of issues-based storyline that might just cut through the fog that the ‘mainstream’ networks blast us with to obscure the real issues of the day with personal partisan attacks.
He’s run a series of #walkaway tweets, too. With a slavery theme, no less. Powerful stuff. Check out his timeline for April 4th to see the full set.
Here are a few, starting with perhaps the most dramatic one.
Could it be that #DNAHasMemory and the fact that I’m a Mende Man. A descendant of the Mende named Joseph Cinqué, who revolted and tried to turn the Amistad around to sail back to Sierra Leone ??, the country where he was stolen? I come from a long line of runaways. #WalkAway ?? pic.twitter.com/TwJ5lC7Wz0

But wait, I’m ‘supposed’ to be a ‘has been’ and ‘irrelevant’, but I’m still making world news? ??♂️ When (T)he (H)ate (U) (G)ive comes from your own, there’s no turning back. The Genie in the bottle can never be put back in. Why are they so afraid of me? #FirstStepAct ?? Coward’s. pic.twitter.com/V6CU6YlsfS
