Law & Order: SVU‘s thrice-postponed, President Donald Trump-flavored episode has now been verbally vetoed by a longtime cast member.
Previously, Veep‘s Gary Cole — who guest-starred in the SVU episode as a Trump-like presidential candidate accused of raping an underage girl — sounded skeptical it would ever see the light of day, explaining that when it was written last spring, “I think maybe the thinking was that the [real-life election] outcome was not going to be this outcome,” with Trump winning. “But now you’re in a whole different ballgame.”
Now, Ice-T, who plays Detective “Fin” Tutolua, says of the “lost” episode, “I don’t even think it’s worth showing. It wasn’t one of our best shows.” After laying out the entire episode (twist outcome included) for Vanity Fair, Ice-T echoed Cole’s thoughts on art imitating life a bit too much. “Law & Order wants to be close, but not too close,” he said. “[E]ven though this guy [Cole] played wasn’t Trump, he acted like Trump. I think NBC just said, ‘You know what? This might be cheesy or corny.’ And to put it out now, it’s old and stuff.” “I think they just got rid of it,” he said of the missing hour’s fate. “I don’t know if they burned [it] or whatever. They paid me for it. I don’t give a --–k, really. I got my money!”

I saw an ad for it recently. It was your typical women’s lib crap. There was this hot chick manhandling (womanhandling?), some pervert and telling how mean she was and how he was now out of luck since she was on the job.
CHONG BONG!
SVU: ITS PU!
They need a show where a black homo pol kills a choir director.
And pulls the Rump Train for the rest of “the boys” in Man’s Country...
I love the show. Guilty pleasure. I agree it would be dumb to show it now. Maybe just put it on the VOD season.
It supposed to be based on true stories. I would imagine 1 out of 335 million people probably did something like that. I wish all of us were the same but that’s impossible.
I gotta tell ya I love that show.....loved it even more when Stabler was on it and I watch the old ones on USA every week, never mind I know all the scrips.......LOL
Watch in syndication, but only the early stuff. They use political license all the time to push their/Hollywierd’s agenda. Most of the time, disgusting.
