Lena Dunham Expresses Regret for Backing Hillary Clinton in 2016 Presidential Election
Globe Magazine ^ | 4/15/2026 | Melissa Roberto

Lena Dunham is walking back her support for former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential election.

Dunham’s new memoir, Famesick, hit stands on April 14, and in her own words, she reflects on campaigning for Clinton.

“I hit the ground running just a day or so after Girls wrapped, campaigning for Hillary Clinton in more American states than I’d ever been to in my life,” she writes in the book, according to the Daily Mail.

“And now I know, I wish I’d just posted a ‘BERNIE’ sign in my window instead,” she explained, referring to former Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders.

Elsewhere in the book, the former Girls star said she regrets how much time she spent supporting Bill Clinton’s wife’s political aspirations.

“I had campaigned for Hillary Clinton, and literally all I got was this lousy T-shirt,” she reportedly wrote in the tell-all. It is unclear why she has changed her stance.

(snip)Dunham spoke out about Clinton’s defeat in an essay published in Time magazine.

“It wasn’t supposed to go this way. It was supposed to be her job. She worked her whole life for the job. It’s her job,” wrote Dunham, according to the outlet.

She also described feeling “frozen” after Trump’s victory.

Dunham also discussed the revelation that the 2016 election saw an increase of women voters supporting Trump. “It’s painful to know that white women, so unable to see the unity of female identity, so unable to look past their violent privilege, and so inoculated with hate for themselves, showed up to the polls for him, too,” she wrote in 2016, according to Time.

Dunham notoriously had said she would be moving out of the country if Trump won the presidential seat. Two weeks after his victory, she changed her mind.

“It’s painful to know that white women, so unable to see the unity of female identity, so unable to look past their violent privilege, and so inoculated with hate for themselves, showed up to the polls for him, too,”

Interesting, isn’t it, that so many of these morons believe that if you’re a female, you’re SUPPOSED to vote for the girl (unless the “girl” is an “R”), if you’re black, you’re SUPPOSED to vote for the “D” or if you’re this or that, you’re SUPPOSED to vote blue?

But, also according to them, if you vote DJT or “R,” regardless of your race, creed, religion, ethnic background or sexual preference, you must be a brainwashed cult member . . .

Hardly a way to reinvent your career. I’m shocked there’s no NGO’s or NFP’S paying her bills?

“...white women, so unable to see the unity of female identity, so unable to look past their violent privilege...”

If ANYONE has gained ‘privilege’ as a no-talent fat cow, it’s you, Lady! Just saying this as one ‘white woman’ to another, Sistah! *BARF*

I saw an article about her the other day - didn’t read it. It was titled, ‘Lena Dunham still wonders why everyone hates her!’

*SMIRK*
