Franklin Graham Responds to Kevin Spacey Scandal: 'Hollywood's Swamp Needs to Be Flushed'"For far too long, Hollywood has gotten a free pass..." -Franklin Graham
On Monday, actor Anthony Rapp alleged that Spacey, one of Hollywood's biggest names, tried to sexually molest him when he was just 14. Amid backlash, gay comedian Rosie O'Donnell likened Spacey to disgraced producer Harvey Weinstein and tweeted that "we all knew" about the "House of Cards" star's alleged behavior.

"I have a lot of respect and admiration for Anthony Rapp as an actor. I'm beyond horrified to hear his story. I honestly do not remember the encounter, it would have been over 30 years ago.
