Meryl Streep Pledges to Stand Up to ‘Brownshirts’ in Tirade Against Trump
NYT ^ | 12 Feb2017 | Sopan Deb

Posted on 02/12/2017 10:07:00 AM PST by Rummyfan

Meryl Streep, in a fiery speech criticizing President Trump on Saturday night, pledged to stand up against “brownshirts and bots” at a time when she and others are increasingly denouncing his administration’s policies and the president himself.

Ms. Streep, in New York City accepting an award from the Human Rights Campaign, referred to the backlash she received after the Golden Globes in January, when she gave a speech denouncing Mr. Trump.

“It’s terrifying to put the target on your forehead, and it sets you up for all sorts of attacks and armies of brownshirts and bots and worse, and the only way you can do it is to feel you have to,” Ms. Streep said. “You have to. You don’t have an option. You have to.”

Great! She's going to stand up those rioters like what we saw in Berkeley!

Wait, she's not talking about them? The actual fascists in our midst?

The sooner celebrities realize they aren’t the most important people in this country, the better off we all will be. Stop going to their movies and stop buying from advertiaers on their tv shows. We have power, too!

The real brownshirts are the left wing rioters.

The brownshirts were paid to beat and intimidate dissenters. Which is exactly whet these people are, soros’s brownshirts.

Evil is as evil does.

If you go looking for brown-shirt-like behavior....it’s BLM, anti-capitalist thugs, and the Berkeley crowd. She’s reached some stage where she’s completely lost mentally and can’t recognize brown-shirts....even if they were standing next to her.

It’s the left who are acting like brownshirts. She might be fooling herself, but she isn’t fooling us or the general public.

Senility or she needs to feel relevant. There’s not too many roles out there for a 67 year old. Maybe she can pick up where Jessica Tandy left off.

The only 'brownshirts' I'm seeing are the ones breaking windows in businesses and torching a small business owner's limousine, those breaking glass with barriers and pepper spraying people trying to go listen to an INVITED speaker, and the ones preventing a Cabinet Secretary from visiting a school. Not to mention the thousands of unhinged protestors just protesting for reasons THEY don't even know; they're just getting paid to protest.

NONE of these are Trump supporters, so it seems that Meryl needs to speak up to her liberal peeps and tell THEM to cease and desist, cause WE'RE not the ones about whom she needs to be worried.

Get back onto the casting couch, Meryl, and concentrate on something you know about.

bots??? WE don’t need to use bots! The left are the ones who have to use bots, to make it look like the far left fringe is bigger than it is.

We don’ need no stinkin’ bots!
