Lena Dunham broke her silence over the 2016 presidential election on Friday, commenting for the first time on the victory of Donald Trump over Hillary Clinton, who Dunham heavily campaigned for.
“In this new reality, we have all been radicalized,” Dunham wrote in her Lenny Letter. “It’s no longer a word for those living on the fringes. It’s a word for everyone who walks in pain with the results of this election, who feels their identity being crushed under the weight of the half of the country who voted for a man who denounces and denies the basic rights of women, the queer community, immigrants, Muslims, people of color and the differently abled.”
