Billy Eichner (like most of the world) is on #TeamStreep!
As you surely know, at the Golden Globes on Sunday, Meryl Streep SLAMMED Donald Trump as she accepted the Cecil B. DeMille award. This obviously left some Republicans feeling butt hurt, as the daughter of Arizona senator and former presidential candidate John McCain took to Twitter to express her outrage over Meryl’s words!

Yup, Meghan McCain DARED to contradict the beloved A-lister as she wrote:
This Meryl Streep speech is why Trump won. And if people in Hollywood don’t start recognizing why and how – you will help him get re-elected

Eichner, being the outspoken comedian that he is, felt the need to clap back at the political scion as he snapped online:
Um she asked him not to make fun of disabled people and advocated for the freedom of the press and the arts you fucking moron https://t.co/IzZexd7Bb4

Forget Chris Brown v. Soulja Boy, THIS is the celebrity feud of 2017 that we were waiting for. Bless.
The columnist clearly didn’t enjoy being called a “f*cking moron” on social media as she retorted:
.@billyeichner calling republicans like me “fucking morons” is a great way for Hollywood to bridge the cultural divide. Enjoy your bubble.

DANGGGG. Girl’s got some bite to her. However, Meghan didn’t stand a chance going up against Billy as simply destroyed her (below).
.@MeghanMcCain I rather live in a bubble than live with people who don’t feel a need to respect the disabled, freedom of speech & the arts!!

.@MeghanMcCain Oh & another message from my bubble-can u ask dad to give back the MILLIONS he’s received from the NRA? MERYL FUCKING STREEP!

Love being told I live in a bubble by the daughter of a millionaire politician who sometimes guest co-hosts Hoda and Kathie Lee.

SAVAGE. Of course, Billy’s mic drop moment came when he concluded:
And I have no desire to “bridge the cultural divide” with ignorant voters who don’t respect other cultures!

And now if you’ll excuse me I’m late for the Weinstein/Netflix party.

*Slow claps* Honestly, after a pretty underwhelming Golden Globes ceremony, we’re MORE than entertained by this social media beef…
