‘Girls‘ creative Lena Dunham found herself on the receiving end of social media’s sting recently when she seemed to scold the athlete Odell Beckham Jr for not paying attention to her at this year’s ‘MET Gala.’

At the same time, over at MSNBC, the mogul Diddy weighed in on the election during a conversation with the Reverend Al Sharpton.

In it, he revealed that he feels that the Democratic Party uses the electorate to secure power and does very little to cater to its needs once said power has been secured.
