Tina Fey has lashed out at the 'white, college-educated' women who put Donald Trump in power.

The 46-year-old claimed those same women now want to forget about it and 'go back to watching HGTV.'

The comedienne made these comments when speaking at the ACLU Stand For Rights benefit on Friday night, according to the Huffington Post.

'You can’t look away!': Tina Fey has blasted white college-educated women who voted for Donald Trump and now want to 'forget about it and watch HGTV' while at an ACLU event

'A lot of this election was turned by white, college-educated women who now would maybe like to forget about this election and go back to watching HGTV,' she said.

'I would want to urge them, "You can’t look away", because it doesn’t affect you this minute, but it’s going to affect you eventually.'

The SNL star was discussing women's rights with New York Civil Liberties Union executive director Donna Lieberman and ACLU deputy legal director Louise Melling.

She made clear though that she had nothing against Home & Garden Television.

'Again, open two windows. Do watch HGTV,' she added. 'But to not turn our attention away from what is happening.'

She promised to personally make her own pledge - a college-educated white woman - to not look away.

'To not pretend that things are happening now won’t eventually affect me if we don’t put a stop to it,' she concluded.

Tina famously took the pee out of the Republican party with her famous SNL impression of former Alaska governor and vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin.
