Hollywood actress and progressive activist Lena Dunham called House Speaker Paul Ryan on Monday to give him a piece of her mind after President-elect Trump announced the appointment of Steve Bannon to his administration.
The HBO writer posted a video of herself dialing Ryan at his Washington, D.C., office and leaving a voicemail — though Ryan will probably never get her message.
“Hi, Speaker Ryan. This is Lena Dunham calling. I wanted to leave a message to let you know how disappointed so many of us are in the appointment of Steve Bannon. I’m not sure you’re really going to listen to this, but I hope you do, because I want to let you know that as a woman, as a Jew, as a person who cares about other human beings, people of color, the idea of appointing an anti-Semitic white supremacist —” Dunham said before the recording service cut her off and asked if she was satisfied with the message.
“No, I’m not actually satisfied with my recording.”
