*Note: Lena Dunham was actually involved in Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign in a different, controversial way to the one we discussed in this segment (https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/post-partisan/wp/2017/01/25/politically-illiterate-democratic-celebrities-continue-to-embarrass-themselves/) It was actually Taylor Swift who felt her public image would be detrimental to the campaign (https://www.vox.com/culture/2019/8/8/20791816/taylor-swift-hillary-clinton-2016-endorsement-vogue-september-issue)
