Have mercy? Not for actresses Lori Loughlin, Felicity Huffman and the 31 other parents charged in a massive scheme involving bribes to get their children into elite universities.According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Massachusetts, “dozens of individuals involved in a nationwide conspiracy that facilitated cheating on college entrance exams and the admission of students to elite universities as purported athletic recruits were arrested by federal agents in multiple states and charged in documents unsealed on March 12, 2019, in federal court in Boston”
Twitter is having more than its share of fun with this scandal. Here are just some of the best reactions:
