Story highlights Meryl Streep criticized Donald Trump during an award acceptance speech Sunday night

Trump defended himself in a series of Tweets Monday morning

"When you tune into the Golden Globes awards show, is it always appropriate to talk politics?" Conway, Trump's campaign manager and soon-to-be senior White House adviser, said in an interview with CNN's Chris Cuomo on "New Day" Monday.

Streep criticized Trump during an award acceptance speech Sunday night, lambasting his mocking of disabled New York Times reporter Serge Kovaleski.
