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 administrations 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.
Its 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 dont have an option. You have to.

Absolutely. Not one more dime to Hollywood.
In her previous cracked and overblown speech, Streep said that football and mixed martial arts “are not the arts”.
Super Bowl LI disproved her mightily!!!!
Oh, she’s real tough standing up to brown shirts.
Let’s see how tough she is standing up to brown shorts.
I didn’t know Maeve Kinkead was Meryl’s Sister-in-Law. Poor Maeve.
I agree, Maeve is a better actress. Loved her as “Vanessa” on GL.
She was invited to speak on agricultural policy because of a role she played?!!!! LOL!!!!
I don’t know much about gambling but it seems to me you could probably safely bet your house that a Dem invited her.
1. Only Dems would be that stupid (and we have certainly seen Dem stupidity on parade recently)
2. Streep would probably have rebuffed an offer from Reps
You’re right; Streep couldn’t fill Lady Thatcher’s shoes.

I believe old Meryl is projecting.
She’s angry because the “peasants” in flyover country dared to criticize her rant at that awards show, whatever it was. Criticism from the “peasants” must not be tolerated.
The only Meryl Streep movie I remember seeing was “Kramer vs. Kramer”, when I was a child. Being a fan of the band “Abba”, I looked on YouTube and watched some scenes from “Mamma Mia”. Yikes.
Over-the-top acting and mediocre singing from Queen Meryl. Agnetha or Frida, she is not.
Streep, you cliche. Sick, tired, cliche. Please at least fill your rants with new material.
Spot on, Mom
What a crazy, 1 note, douchebag of a liser. Meryl...Go away.
Tell that to any Conservative wanting to speak on a college campus. What a nice little pity party.

Streep needs to tear down the wall around her estate & take in refugees. I’m sorry I saw her last movie.
Yeah, ignoring them has worked so well for the past 30 yrs.
What is she famous for, I mean besides being an actress?
You stupid bitch. Have you not looked at the streets? The Brownshirts are the leftists on your side.
I am standing up against the “red stained sheets”.
