In her response to Donald Trump’s claim she is overrated, Streep delivered a melodramatic, over the top claim as to how she is putting herself in grave danger dueling with The Trumpster:
“It’s terrifying to put the target on your forehead,” she said. “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 if you feel you have to. You have to! You don’t have an option. You have to.”
Streep did not elaborate on the type of attacks she may have been subjected to since her Globes speech, or from whom. The Associated Press reached out to her publicist for details. The term “brownshirts” was first used to describe an early Nazi militia.
Streep was receiving the group’s National Ally for Equality Award, and was the huge draw of the evening. Introduced by filmmaker Ken Burns, she took the stage to a thunderous ovation. After a humorous defense of her remarks in her Globes speech that football and martial arts weren’t arts, which had drawn some criticism – she clarified that she indeed likes football, too – the actress praised the organization for defending LGBT rights, and spoke about two teachers – one transgender, one gay – who had influenced her childhood in suburban New Jersey.
This is victimizing at its finest. Then she went on to talk badly about men to an LGBT audience. She must have forgotten that she’s not at a feminist rally. This is a very mixed bag. She’s talking trash about men to some women who might want to be men. They must have been the ones who stopped cheering.

You are a brown shirt
This is what happens when two people do drugs and have offspring……
Shut up$#%&!@*hat!!
Brownshirts? What, did she have to walk through a mob of ANTIFA street fighters to get somewhere?
What’s up with her little mouth? Is that from plastic surgery?
Try not to dabble in politics unless you’re going to run for office. Wash your hair, shut up, and$#%&!@*down.
I’m done with you and your movies. Would not go across the street to see you.
One of my favorites actors for thirty years, then she has to try and act smart , sad but her and crazy Bobby Di Nero are over.
OK I was never a big fan of hers, she lacks talent. But I never knew she was completely deranged. Actors are suppose to entertain us, that’s how they get paid. So all you actors who think you can dictate to us please be aware we did not drink the Kool-Aid and we could care less what you think.
She has no clue what is going on. Just a washed up, sad woman. So much drama! They needed a fainting couch for her.
