WATCH: Lena Dunham & America Ferrera’s Trump-Throttlin’ DNC Speech Is A+

A heaps of famous names are speaking at the Democratic National Convention currently happening in Philadelphia
Michelle Obama completely blew everyone away with her speech earlier this week, but today belonged to actresses Lena Dunham and America Ferrera
While there’s plenty of completely valid criticism around Dunham’s approach to feminism, the duo’s Donald Trump-slammin’ opening bit garnered a hell of a lot of laughs.
Dunham: “Hi, I’m Lena Dunham and according to Donald Trump, my body is probably, like, a 2.”
Ferrera: “And I’m America Ferrera and according to Donald Trump, I’m probably a rapist.”
Dunham: “We know what you’re all thinking: why should you care what some television celebrity has to say about politics?”
Ferrera: “And we feel the same way. But he is the Republican nominee so we have to talk about it.”
Their bit was met with roaring laughter from the crowd, before the pair went on to talk about their experiences and why that led them to vote for Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton
Dunham told the crowd, 
“I am a pro-choice, feminist, sexual assault survivor with a chronic reproductive illness. 

Donald Trump and his party think I should be punished for exercising my constitutional rights. His rhetoric about women takes us back to a time when we were meant to be beautiful and silent. 

Meanwhile, 22 years ago, Hillary Clinton declared that women’s rights are human rights.”
Ferrera told the audience she’s the “proud” daughter of Honduran immigrants and ‘occasionally needed a free meal to get through the school day‘. The actress said she is “profoundly grateful” for the access and opportunities that are given in the United States.
“Donald is not making America great again — he’s making America hate again.

Hillary has spent the last 30 years proving what she sees in us. Not our colour, gender, economic status, but our capacity to grow into thriving adults.”
