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.

She’s married to Lois Felner since 2021. They are in the process of adopting since she can’t have kids naturally. She does have a cat.
You mean she schemed and lied her whole life.
Nasty fat and gross is not the naked shoulder dress’ friend.
She’s gotten even more hideous.
+1 :)

Much better! Thanks!
Luis Felber.
They bet on a blind date, and apparently he never removed his blindfold.
The larger question would be, “Why are the ramblings of a D list celebrity newsworthy?”
who cares...
Really, why would anyone care?
She should go back to sitting on the toilet. That’s the full extent of her particular contribution and value to humanity.
HAs she not heard of Ozempic? Jeeezus!
Fat, drunk, and stupid is no way to go through life, Lena ...
OMG she’s a friggin’ potato.
Read through a lot of the replies and am surprised no one mentioned how she admitted to molesting her sister, when she was younger. And apparently, she got a pass for that too.
That’s for sure!
She should be regretting all those hotel breakfast buffets she apparently cleaned out over the years.
“Edgy” millennial shows like “Girls,” “New Girl,” and whatever that “two broads” show was called all had episodes boosting Hillary, when the actual edgy millennials supported Bernie.
