Former U.S. Senator Barbara Boxer defended Meryl Streep and other so-called Hollywood elites against recent attacks by President Donald Trump.
“What did Meryl Streep say that would be offensive to the middle of the country?” Boxer told CAA agent Michael Kives at an agency-sponsored summit of political leaders on Thursday. “That Donald Trump imitated a disabled person? Believe me, people in middle America didn’t like that one bit.”
But Boxer, who signed on as a CAA client last month following her exit fromย the Senate after 24 years, also addressed the backlash against Streep and Democrats for speaking out against the new administration.
