Actress Ashley Judd was just one of many celebrities joining the hundreds of thousands crowding Washington, D.C. Saturday for the Women’s March but she left a singular impression with a beat poetry reading that harshly condemned new President Donald Trump.
“I am a feminist…I am a nasty woman,” Judd declared in her reading of a poem by Nina Donovan, 19, of Tennessee that invokes Trump’s campaign remark about Hillary Clinton being a “Nasty woman.” The poem paints a harsh portrait of Trump’s America, awash in corruption, chauvinism and racism.
Actress Ashley Judd appears at a news conference at United Nations headquarters upon her appointment as the U.N. Population Fund Goodwill Ambassador in New York, March 15, 2016.
Although official estimates were not yet available, D.C. was expected to see more people for the march Saturday than it did for Trump’s inauguration Friday.
The idea for a march initially started on Facebook this fall but quickly gatd momentum as Trump’s inauguration approached.
Judd inspired both support and criticism with her pointed remarks, with some calling her speech “Disgraceful” and “Hysterical.” Many denounced her remarks alluding to Trump’s comments about daughter Ivanka’s looks, as she said, “I am not as nasty as your own daughter being your favorite sex symbol. Like your wet dreams infused with your own genes.”
