She was on the verge of tears, with a break in her voice. Meryl Streep was honored at the Golden Globes for a lifetime of notable work. In fact, it was her ninth award, and she took the opportunity to make a sustained attack on US President-elect Donald Trump. In this video, we can see a fragment, but it is enough to intimidate and delight us. She had written something beforehand, probably a few lines to express her thankfulness and gratitude, but when she started to speak, she forgot about it and made the most impressive speech of the night: “Hollywood is crawling with outsiders and foreigners”.
Without mentioning his name, she spoke about one of Trump’s most deplorable performances, the moment when he imitated a disabled reporter, which ,as Meryl Streep said, “sank its hooks in her heart”. The actress highlighted his instinct to humiliate and mentioned how dangerous this fact can become because it gives permission for other people to do the same thing: “Disrespect invites disrespect. Violence incites violence.”
