Viola Davis has one person in mind when it comes to improving race relations in the country -- and she's a new, young face in politics who could soon be in congress.
We got the 'How to Get Away with Murder' star Sunday at LAX and asked who she thought might be the next champion of our time, especially when it comes to easing racial tensions ... which seem to be at a bit of a boiling point lately.
She nominates Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who just won the Democratic primary in New York and earned a spot on the midterm election ballot for NY's 14th district. Viola's reason ... she's young and hip, man! Ocasio-Cortez just turned 28 last year, so ... Viola's not wrong.
Ms. Keating doesn't elaborate much beyond the age thing, but Ocasio-Cortez is being touted as the next Bernie Sanders ... and a grassroots favorite come November.
BTW, Viola's also got some thoughts on Donald Trump's part in the race convo -- it ain't what you might think -- and Nicki Minaj calling herself the new Harriet Tubman.
Let's just call them mildly hot takes.
Thanks for the laugh! I needed that.
AOC will have to get elected first.
There are lots of uneducated Americans who believe this nonsense.
A female version of Obama is gonna fix race relations? Spare me!
I thought the last “new, young face,” Barack Obama, was supposed to be the one to fix race relations?
Occasional-Cortex is playing up race. That isn’t how you fix race relations.
Isn’t she campaigning everywhere but in her district?
Winning Oscars does not give one intelligence.
Right after she fixes her teeth...................
Seriously?!?
I wouldn’t nominate that nit wit Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to F’n make toast....
To something................
The guy she beat, Crowley, isn’t withdrawing.
Her solution would be to just kill all the white people.
Fixed it.
Please stop talking. I really like your show. Don’t ruin it for me.
This is not The Onion? They are serious?
I thought 0bama was supposed to improve race relations. All I saw his him stoking the flames of anti-white racism, along with anti-law enforcement, and all the identify politics. We definitely don’t need another one who wants to “improve race relations”.
Since you support Communists, Viola, you need to give away all of your property and money to the state so it can be properly redistributed.
Sure, she’s young and hip. And where, on the list of what qualities an effective senator should have, are those attributes listed? This one has the brain power of a mollusk, the teeth of a horse, and the crazy eyes of a Tasmanian devil.
