Meryl Streep's awesome hypocrisy about Trump
Jan 10^th, 2017 at 1:07pm

link

Here's Piers Morgan giving Streep a serve:

"But putting all that to one side for a moment – and if Trump WAS mocking a man’s disability then I agree it was disgraceful - let’s move to what Streep said next: ‘Disrespect invites disrespect. Violence incites violence. When the powerful use their position to bully others, we all lose.’

At this point, I laughed out loud with incredulity.

Not at the words themselves, which are laudable.

No, it was at the hypocrisy.

You’d be hard-pushed to find an industry that encourages more disrespect and violence than Hollywood.

A place where rich powerful people make billions of dollars by regularly pandering to the lowest common denominators of sexism, racism, homophobia and misogyny.

And happily exploit ever more hideous, graphic violence to make a fast, easy buck.

And seethe from every tinsel-encrusted pore with the very kind of nasty, power-based bullying that Meryl Streep claims to be so incensed by in Trump.

I would also LOVE to know what ties there are between Trump and Putin.

Until then, she's just another showbiz person having a spray.

Besides which, has Streep played evil, murdering sort of parts? No, then that crap by that paid propagandist does not apply to her.
