New Delhi, Jan 09 (ANI): Eight times Golden Globe winner Meryl Streep, who was awarded the Cecil B. DeMille Award at the 74th Annual Golden Globes Awards, did not hesitate to share her thoughts about Donald Trump, who will be inaugurated as president in less than two weeks, crystal clear. After thanking the Hollywood Foreign Press, Meryl praised the many foreign actors in the audience who bring us all joy with their incredible talent, clearly letting Donald Trump know that his anti immigrant rhetoric was not appreciated in Tinsel Town. People Magazine quoted Meryl as saying, “Hollywood is crawling with outsiders and foreigners and if you kick them all out you’ll have nothing to watch but football and mixed martial arts — which are not the arts.” She added, “It was that moment when the person asking to sit in the most respected seat in our country imitated a disabled reporter, someone he outranked in privilege, power, and the capacity to fight back. It kind of broke my heart when I saw it. I still can’t get it out of my head because it wasn’t in a movie. It was real life.”The incident Streep was referring to occurred in November 2015, when Trump callously imitated a New York Times reporter who suffers from the congenital condition arthrogryposis, at one of his political rallies. The 67-year-old actress concluded her speech with a tribute to the late Carrie Fisher, saying, “As my friend the dear departed Princess Leia said to me once – ‘take a broken heart, make it into art.’ Thank you.”
