Neil deGrasse Tyson Goes Tit For Tat ?

Only Neil Degrasse Tyson would respond to an accusation of sexual assault with “As we all know, I have professional history with the demotion of Pluto.”

You know what is the best part about this statement? He never once called these women liars. He never said that what they felt wasn’t valid. He was respectful and composed. I really hope he is innocent.

Neil deGrasse Tyson has a well known fascination with the planet Pluto, lucky for him it’s not Uranus.
