Tina Fey tells white women who voted for Trump they can’t just look away
Plenty of celebrities showed up on the ACLU’s online telethon Friday to solicit donations to the organization. Tom Hanks did some bits. Tituss Burgess performed an original song. Tina Fey, however, made a specific plea to the white women who voted for Trump. Not for money, exactly. Instead, she urged the college-educated contingent in that demographic not to turn away from what they hath wrought. “The thing that I kind of keep focusing on is the idea that we sort of need to hold the edges,” she said as she was interviewing ACLU lawyers Louise Melling and Donna Lieberman. “A lot of this election was turned by white, college-educated women who now would maybe like to forget about this election and go back to watching HGTV, and I would want to urge them to like, you can’t look away. Because it doesn’t affect you this minute, but it’s going to affect you eventually.”
