They said Hillary Clinton would bring Americans together while criticizing Trump’s comments on immigration, women and other subjects. “Hi, I’m Lean Dunham and according to Donald Trump, my body is probably a two,” Dunham began in the primetime address in Philadelphia. “…and according to Donald Trump, I’m probably a rapist,” Ferrera followed. Earlier this month, Ferrera said Trump’s comments about immigrants “will serve brilliantly to energize Latino voters and increase turnout on Election Day against you.” “Donald’s not making America great again, he’s making America hate again,” Ferrara said Tuesday. “The vast majority of us cannot afford to see his vision of America come to be.” Read the remarks Ferrara and Dunham gave as delivered below: --- > “” --- ## Transcript I'm Lena Dunham, and according to Donald Trump, my body is probably like a two. And I'm America Ferrera, and according to Donald Trump, I'm probably a rapist. This man would have you believe that our differences are more important that what unites us.

We're proud to say we're with Hillary.
