Left-leaning actress and writer Lena Dunham posted a sort-of poem blasting Donald Trump on Instagram, but the backlash was so severe that she quickly removed it. In the post, she claimed, “Trump only recognizes the humanity of women who look like his daughter.” This echoed actress Ashley Judd’s speech at the Women’s March on D.C., when she cried, “I am not as nasty as your own daughter being your favorite sex symbol.”

Dunham then explained her removal of the post by saying that the comments “spewed hatred and division.”
