"SHE is ALWAYS going to be the formidable Olivia Pope". A proud father indeed.

[@ndombologique]

The audacity of this scene! "You disappoint me as a suitor for my daughter's hand." BRILLIANT!!!

[@otsombia]

The audacity of this scene is a black man in chain calling a white man who comes from old money / old power family "a boy" !

[@pearlythobz]

That time hes speaking to the president of the united states, athi "you disappoint me" 🤣🤣🤣

[@lexiemarin6788]

A very well-deserved Emmy win for this man.

[@Leatherwood22]

President Fitzgerald Grant has been read for absolute dust! This was absolutely epic, one of the best monologues in television history!! Joe Morton is incredible.

[@faithwatkins7811]

He may have been read but he showed just what power he had cause right after this he took out the title of command right up out of Rowan hands and gave it to Jake.

[@jasonmoukala8909]

Faith Watkins But then Rowan took it back. In fact he never really lost it tbh

[@mariaaparecidabarbosadasil2347]

perfect!

[@theascension1557]

Agree. That man drags everybody. THE best male actor then Denzel.

[@otsombia]

The audacity of this scene is a black man in chain calling a white man who comes from old money / old power family "a boy" ! the audacity is you don't actually see the chains, you just hear them as Elie moves while he is delivering his speech.

[@Ebon_Sean]

Gotta love it!

[@LovelyGrace86]

The way Eli moves and shakes his shoulders and upper body when he gets super angry and serious, I love it! It's so funny! Lol He is so intense, he scares me at the same time hahaha

[@Spicytamale02]

The fact that Fitz stayed quiet proves that Rowan was right the entire time lol

[@faithwatkins7811]

no he stayed quiet because he allowed him to say what was on his mind have his rant. That's what Fitz does he don't have fighting matches with people. He let you say and do whatever and then he goes in for the kill because right after this happened he showed just how much power he really had which was take command right out of from under Rowan and gave it to Jake to run b613.

[@mariajohnson2647]

@@faithwatkins7811 exactly. Rowan reacted exactly the way fitz expected him to. Then fitz showed him that he had power by stripping Rowan of his position as command at b613 and gave that position to someone under rowan - jake. Like rowan said to jake later on in season 7 true power hides in plain sight. Fitz hides his power. He doesn't flaunt it and go around telling everyone that he is powerful. He just examines the facts or evidence and listens and observes. Then he makes his moves and no body can stop him .

[@kimberlywhitehead22]

But let's be clear....Rowan was ABSOLUTELY CORRECT about Fitz....spoiled, entitled, ungrateful brat who squandered every opportunity handed to him. He only kept the opportunity because SOMEONE did the work for him

[@Spicytamale02]

Faith Watkins except Rowan was never not command lmao everyone still followed his orders because he trained them very well. Fitz at the end of the day really had NO power. Olivia, Cyrus, and Rowan ALL controlled him. He is essentially just a puppet following their orders.

Best shit I've heard on TV in a while. This is how u put a muthfucka in his place

[@faithwatkins7811]

This is the same man that sent a man Jake to sleep with his daughter to destroy the Olitz relationship. This is who you admire? This is also a man that lied to his daughter by telling her that her mom was dead when really he locked her up for 22 years and then put Olivia in boarding school to run b613. She pretty much raised herself. No this speech is bogus and this rant was unnecessary. He is a man and father and a terrible one at that. He is why Olivia could never be happy with Fitz or any man in her life because he's not happy in his life the decisions he made. Misery loves company

It's like me talking. I have just added this to my profile, my personal Place and nothing is added to there unless it is of value. I would like to direct this to all of these boys and Girls surrounding this campus and many of the poeple I have met in my Life. You don't know the meaning of Privilege? Well this is an introduction. Thank you SHonda Rhymes. You take actual human situations and make them extra pumped of emotions and feelings and sooooul and then you share them with us who YOU KNOW can relate. I am thankful. Papa Pope, you won me over. Honestly, I DISLIKE FITZ, I am becoming SICK really sick of Olivia and of Fitz too. I admire really admire Mellie. I also get it... what "Papa Pope" means. Fitz is a spoiled brat.... Girls, you feel attracted to him? You envy Olivia? DO NOT. ONE DAY WILL COME WHEN DUMPS OLIVIA TOO. If you saw this scene from the season 3 episode 10 then I guess that you have arrived to see that episode where they show us the past of Mellie.... This woman... she is just either crazy, mental, or seriously strong beyond what I knew existed, but also suicial and self destructive to stay with such a hurtful man. Did you see how much love he had for her? Ok well, Olivia, you future is Mellie's present so belt on and prepare yourself for a similar ride.
