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

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.”

This explains why her and equally ding batty Alec Baldwin’s movie, “It’s Complicated” has been airing on various channels nonstop lately.

The left desperately wants us to act like brownshirts. We must not grant their wish. Just let them continue to discredit themselves.

Calling other people names isn’t nice Meryl. But, thank you for telling us what you, like Hillary, think of us.

She's only about 70 years late and in the wrong country.

Where was she when Bammy called for a separate armed force equal to the military??

Those would have been the new Brownshirts.

She’s becoming a parody of herself. The tough talk would be a lot more impressive if she didn’t live in a fenced in private California enclave.

Keep blathering away. Better yet, try to understand that you are an actress, nothing more. Your opinions don’t matter more than anyone else’s.

Name-calling, their last refuge against facing their own inability to think clearly.

This is about as likely as celebrities moving to Canada or Justice Ginsburg moving to New Zealand.

And they permit no comments!

Why does the Times report what idiots like Streep have to say? They must know that all of the virtually all of the recent political violence and intimidation here (and probably abroad too) has been bought, paid for and supported by the left?

ML/NJ

Wow, did she suddenly express her support of Donald Trump? Was she seen in a MAGA hat?

Actors and actresses make a living pretending to be people they are not. The continual pretending becomes a way of life. Meryl is pretending she is someone in authority.

Streep’s Teutonic ancestry on both sides suggests she is of pure Aryan blood to the highest standards of the Third Reich.

And she calls others “brownshirts”!!?

I see that she too is well schooled in Alinsky tactics.....blame others for what you yourself are doing.

All these years I thought she was a totally overrated actress. People would tell me I was crazy when I told them how I felt. Now I see that I sensed something in her I did not like!
