‘What qualifies her?’ So, Twitter is FUMING with Tina Fey’s comments
Trump supporters on Twitter are not happy with Tina Fey’s latest comments condemning young white females who voted for the President.
During a star studded live-streamed telethon fundraiser for the American Liberties Union on Saturday the actress and comedian hit out at the demographic.
Making reference to a home improvement channel in the States, she said: ‘’A lot of this election was turned by white, college-educated women who now would like to forget about this election and go back to watching HGTV.’’
According to The Independent, preliminary exit polls conducted by Edison Research, showed that Donald Trump won 45 per cent of white college-educated women’s votes while Hillary Clinton won 51 per cent.
However, when you take into account all white female voters, both with and without a college degree, Trump came out on top with 53 per cent versus Clinton’s 43 per cent.
Fey went on to urge those young female Trump voters to look at the bigger picture, saying ‘’It doesn’t affect you this minute, but it’s going to affect you eventually.”
Viewers took to Twitter to express their outrage at Tina’s comments with many saying that the star’s comments were harsh and unfair.

Tina Fey isn’t the only celebrity to criticise white female Republican voters recently.
Girls creator and leading actress, Lena Dunham wrote an essay just days after the election results in which she described her disappointment at the large proportion of white women who chose not to vote for Clinton.
“It’s painful to know that white women, so unable to see the unity of female identity, so unable to look past their violent privilege, and so inoculated with hate for themselves, showed up to the polls for him.”
