Dumbass meghan mccain tweet on Meryl Streep's Speech

Meghan McCain Verified account 
?@MeghanMcCain
This Meryl Streep speech is why Trump won. And if people in Hollywood don't start recognizing why and how - you will help him get re-elected

https://twitter.com/MeghanMcCain/status/818294731742580736

getting pushback too

Oh please tell us why and how, Meghan..

Right.. Meryl Streep talking about how diverse people are in Hollywood from all over the Planet.. and saying how heartbroken she was and still is when she saw trump mock a disabled reporter is the reason trump won.

Conservative women are livid because Meryl Streep criticized a man who mocks the disabled and brags about grabbing women by the pussy

Fox turns on Trump for attacking Meryl Streep: ‘How does name calling make American great again?’

Trump responded on Monday with a series of tweets calling Streep “one of the most over-rated actresses in Hollywood.”

Trump’s defense, however, was a bridge too far for Fox Business host Stuart Varney and his Monday morning panel of guests.

“How does name calling make American great again?” business journalist Elizabeth MacDonald asked. “Doesn’t that undercut Mr. Trump’s agenda by responding in ways like this?”

“I mean, he demeans himself,” she added. “You cannot expect people to climb on board with agenda when your judgement is so poor in making attacks like that.”

“I got it and I think you’re right,” Varney agreed.
