Meghan McCain: 'This Meryl Streep speech is why Trump won' [View all]

Conservative commentator Meghan McCain on Sunday criticized actress Meryl Streep's Golden Globes dig at Donald Trump, saying it shows that Hollywood doesn't understand the forces behind Trump's victory.

"This Meryl Streep speech is why Trump won," McCain, the daughter of Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), tweeted Sunday night

"And if people in Hollywood don't start recognizing why and how - you will help him get re-elected."

McCain was outspoken in her opposition to both Trump and Hillary Clinton during the presidential campaign. After the election, she tweeted that she voted for independent presidential candidate Evan McMullin.
