Months after penning a fiery letter to his daughters about Donald Trump’s surprising electoral win, __Aaron Sorkin is ready to lambast the president once more. At the Writer’s Guild Awards West Coast ceremony on Sunday, the Oscar-winning writer was on hand to receive the Paddy Chayefsky Laurel Award. Fittingly, he used the majority of his time on stage to deliver a Network-inspired acceptance speech, blasting conservative rhetoric about “coastal elites” and what “real Americans” believe. Sorkin also handily addressed attacks on mainstream media outlets and refugees “seeking a safe haven”—all without mentioning Trump directly by name. The anti-POTUS theme was also deeply felt at the Writer’s Guild Award ceremony in New York City, held simultaneously with the one in Los Angeles—where comedians like Lewis Black openly mocked the president and his inner circle.

Sorkin’s award was warmly presented by Newsroom star Jeff Daniels. “Great writers have singular voice, a command of the craft, and something to say. That’s Aaron Sorkin,” Daniels said before welcoming Sorkin to the stage.

Sorkin thanked the Guild, his former collaborators, and his managerial team before getting to politics. “From time to time, I write stories about politics, and so it was suggested to me that I might have something to say about the situation in which we currently find ourselves. It’ll come as no surprise that I do,” he said.

Here’s where Sorkin got political:

“We’ve been told that as coastal elites, we’re something less than real Americans and that we’re out of touch. If you find it mind-boggling that living and working in the two largest cities in America makes you less than a real American, you’re not the one who’s out of touch. If you don’t find it remotely credible that three to five million people voted illegally in our last election, you’re not the one who’s out of touch. If you [don’t] think climate change is a global hoax being perpetrated by unscrupulous Chinese scientists in cahoots with every other scientist in a cunning long con to get grant money, you’re not the one who’s out of touch. If you [don’t] think the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Post, NBC News, CBS News, ABC News and CNN lie with impunity and that the only trustworthy new source is Fox and Friends, you’re not the one who’s out of touch. And if you don’t think that turning away people who are seeking a safe haven from unspeakable brutality is a morally defensible idea, then you’re not the one who’s less than a real American.”

“So what can we do? A lot, actually, because the most powerful delivery system ever invented for an idea is a story. The men and women in this room, and in one just like it in New York, are America’s storytellers. And we come from everywhere. We are old and young, black and white, gay and straight, wealthy and struggling, and yes, liberal and conservative. The most powerful delivery system ever invented for an idea is a story, and we’re America’s storytellers. And my dream of being one of you has come true.”
