Hillary Clinton Tells Lena Dunham She’s ‘Puzzled’ by Women Who Aren’t Feminists

What I did not want to know is whether Hillary Clinton had seen Lenny Kravitz’s junk when his pants split during a concert.

Megyn Kelly criticized Hillary Clinton’s interview with Lena Dunham because she thinks its casual tone is “not really fitting for a presidential candidate”.

Lena Dunham is the ideal interviewer for the much beleaguered Democrat presidential front-runner.

Discussing the interview on Thursday at AOL Build, Dunham said, “I was ready for more formality”. Also, a lot of the community policing, community dialogue that we started to have a few years ago has sort of petered out.

Dunham would have preferred a less measured response.

“I think America has a tendency to push shows past their due dates”, she said. She volunteered as a “Goldwater girl” during the Republican’s 1964 campaign, and she told Dunham that a highlight was getting to wear a cowboy hat. That’s verbal abuse. Those aren’t words that should be directed at you ever. You’re still trying to convince people… “Summarizing her television career, Dunham wrote, “[it’s] just a job … slamming your [private parts] against the nylon wrapped [privates] of a guy”. “So I was searching”, she added.

The former New York senator explains: ‘Well, a feminist is by definition someone who believes in equal rights.

The third piece in the newsletter is an essay about the politics of marriage, written by a recently Wednesday queer woman.

The interview eventually turned to policy like student debt relief and police brutality, with Dunham asking Clinton specifically about Sandra Bland.

“We trust our readership will let us know when we’ve gone astray”, she says. “It’s part of being female; we contain multitudes”.

Dunham circled around Clinton with vapid compliments to end the interview, insisting that she was “a fashion icon” and her dress was “extremely chic”.

Clinton then repeated the story of her own ideological evolution, recounting her liberal awakening in college.

Dunham: “I think you should bust it back out for a potential inauguration”.

Clinton has been on a bit of a likability tour lately, making the rounds from daytime talk shows to late-night TV in an effort to showcase her sense of humor and appear more relatable to voters.

Lenny’s ability to take itself seriously in one moment and revel in the lighthearted in the next may be its biggest and best promise.
