This just in: Donald Trump was not a fan of Meryl Streep’s Golden Globe acceptance speech.
In a series of early-morning tweets, the president-elect derided the Oscar-winning acting legend as “one of the most overrated actresses in Hollywood” and “a Hillary flunky who lost big.”
While accepting the Hollywood Foreign Press’ Cecile B. DeMille Award for lifetime achievement on Sunday, Streep recalled Trump’s 2015 mocking of reporter Serge Kovaleski, who suffers from a chronic condition that affects his joints. “It kind of broke my heart when I saw it, and I still can’t get it out of my head, because it wasn’t in a movie. It was real life,” Streep said. “And this instinct, to humiliate when it’s modeled by someone in the public platform, by someone powerful, it filters down into everybody’s life. Because it kinda gives permission for other people to do the same thing.”
