Lena Dunham: ‘Donald Trump would say my body is probably like a 2’
PHILADELPHIA — The creator of “Girls,” Lena Dunham, and actress America Ferrera took to the stage here Tuesday night to tweak Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump about his views on women, a topic Democrats have been driving home for months in web and TV ads in an effort to increase Trump’s already high negative ratings with women voters heading into the general election.
“Hi, I’m Lena Dunham, and according to Donald Trump, my body is probably like a 2,” said Dunham, who has been subjected to a huge amount of public body-shaming as part of her creative decision to appear nude on her show, despite the fact that she is not stick-thin. Trump has a history of publicly ranking women physically in radio remarks and used to own the Miss USA beauty pageant.
“And I’m America Ferrera, and according to Donald Trump, I’m probably a rapist,” said Ferrera, who is of Honduran, not Mexican, heritage. Trump launched his campaign by accusing Mexico of sending rapists into the United States.
“Now I know what you’re all thinking: Why should I care what some television celebrity has to say about politics?” asked Dunham, tag-teaming with Ferrera.
“We feel the same way. But he is the Republican nominee, so we need to talk about him,” Ferrera answered.
The two went on to praise Hillary Clinton — “We’re with Hillary!” — and her ability to see past color, gender and economic status to, in Ferrera’s words, “our capacity to grow into thriving adults capable of contributing great things to this country.”
As for Trump, said Dunham, “Donald Trump and his party think I should be punished for exercising my constitutional rights. His rhetoric about women takes us back to a time when we were meant to be beautiful and silent.”
