Billy Eichner & Meghan McCain Fight on Twitter Over Meryl Streep's Golden Globes Speech
Billy Eichner got into a Twitter feud with Meghan McCain, the daughter of Republican senator John McCain, after she slammed Meryl Streep for her speech at the 2017 Golden Globes.
After the legendary actress called out Trump for mocking a disabled reporter, Meghan blamed her and other Hollywood elite of getting the President-elect elected.
CELEBS REACT: Here is what stars are saying about Trump‘s tweets on the speech

Billy responded to the comment by saying, “Um she asked him not to make fun of disabled people and advocated for the freedom of the press and the arts you f–king moron.”
