Lena Dunham appeared on “The View” on Friday to promote “Girls,” but ended up talking a lot about Donald Trump. Check out the video below.
After Dunham was welcomed to the stage, Joy Behar brought Trump up right away, saying how, as a Hillary Clinton supporter, the actress took the election results hard. She admitted, “I found the night of the election to be so shocking and traumatizing, and if I felt that way, imagine how the people who are so at-risk at this country right now must have felt.” She added, “If a rich white girl who’s on television is breaking out in hives, how do the undocumented Americans feel?”
Behar went on to ask Dunham why she’s against people using name-calling to attack Trump. “I think it’s really important to remember that one of the tools Donald Trump used to insult people was to demean their bodies,” she responded, explaining, “For us to then refer to him as the ‘orange giant’ or talk about the size of his [genitals], that’s actually not productive… Why don’t we gather our brains and talk about [policy], not stoop to the level?”
The discussion also touched on Dunham’s Halloween costume, with the “Girls” creator saying, “I was a grabbed vagina, because there’s a word I was told I can’t say on ‘The View.'” Guest co-host Bob Saget also wanted to know about Dunham’s Trump-fueled weight loss, which prompted her to crack about her stress, “If I’m not hungry, we have a real freakin’ problem.”
Saget later brought up “Girls,” noting his own daughters are fans of the HBO show. Dunham then stunned everyone by asking, “How do your daughters feel about me being attracted to you?” They went to commercial at that surprising moment, and continued the discussion after the break, with Saget suggesting they “double date” or maybe “swing.”
Jedediah Bila went back to politics by asking why Dunham wants to help even women who voted for Trump. She essentially expressed empathy, saying, “I think it’s really important to understand so many aren’t raised with the rhetoric of self-empowerment… They haven’t been given the message that they do matter.” And she hopes female Trump voters see that, even as their president sometimes suggests otherwise.
Sara Haines eventually got the conversation back on the topic of “Girls,” with Dunham revealing, “There’s nothing we’d love more than to do a movie and see these girls as women.” Stressing their real-life friendships, she also noted, “I think the media likes to create a feud narrative, and I’ve seen items in Star” about made-up feuds between the cast members.
As Gossip Cop reported, Dunham was on the “Today” show earlier Friday, where she threw interviewer Maria Shriver off by saying the word “penis.” Gossip Cop will have “The View” video soon, so check back shortly.
I’m trying to figure out what an ‘Undocumented American’ is...
I don’t know which would be worse. Listening to Duhnam drone on about that insipid “Girls,” or listening to her rant incoherently about Trump.
I didn’t know who Lena Dunham was....I looked her up....
What an ugly woman!!!!!!
That linked video should be used as an emetic in poison control centers.
I loved Phyllis Diller!!
And Disney still puts this partisan crap on the air. Walt would die.
I'm beginning to think it is everyone in the world.
I edured the video (part I) but was unable to click on Part II...
The View(ers)wildly applauded her most asinine comments! The people on the stage engaged in shameless ass-kissing, as well.
Do these people really vote?
Thanks for the Marilyn pics! I’m a woman but have always loved her.
Beautiful, but also, apparently so vulnerable. Part of her attraction was probably that she made men want to protect her.
But I am not a man, so I don’t know. :)

Classy “lady,” that Dunham woman.
Glad I have never watched “Girls.” I am assuming it is some sort of show about lesbians.
You’re right, 2ndDV—we have pretty much reached the bottom of the barrel in terms of culture.
“ever since Carol Burnett pretty much retired and Lucille Ball and Phyllis Diller passed away the phrase “female comedian” has become an oxymoron, with the emphasis on MORON. “

So very true.
I watch reruns of “Hot in Cleveland”—Burnett appeared on there occasionally (I remember her variety show; watched regularly)—and of course, it featured the incomparable Betty White.
Schumer is revolting.
Glad she got to experience nov 8, 2016 what many of us felt nov 2008 - the shock of how could America “elect” BO and trying to grasp what the next 4-8 years of evil like him at the helm would mean for USofA.
Classy. I’m sure that her parents are proud.
But then again, "Dumb Blonde" isn't my type, no idea if it was just an act with her, or not. I prefer brains to beauty, figuring that I'll never be bored with a girl who's smarter than I am.
Fortunately for me, Mrs WBill is as lovely as she is brilliant. :-)
There are many, many people in the world who would LIKE to be Americans.
We have a system and laws providing for that - which system many have followed, and by which they have become legal Americans.

Norma Jeane Mortenson was definitely NOT dumb - troubled, perhaps, but not dumb. Don’t confuse the woman with the act.
