Issa Rae called out Donald Trump on Golden Globes red carpet

"As long as we don't continue to let him slide there might be some hope..."

It might be Issa Rae's first Golden Globes but she is not leaving without making a statement.

The actress and brilliant mind behind HBO's Insecure took some time on the red carpet to talk about president-elect Donald Trump's controversial Twitter account.

"Every single time I see a tweet from that man...every single time I see some of the staff and administration he's bringing, it gets worse and worse," Rae said. "The scariest part is how normal it's becoming to some people."

"I think we just have to keep calling things out like, 'No you're lying! That's not true! No, that doesn't work that way!,' Rae explained. "As long as we don't continue to let him slide there might be some hope, but it's scary."

Rae is up for her first Golden Globe award for Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy TV Series for HBO's Insecure.
