Hollywood stars who endorsed Elizabeth Warren for president were in a state of mourning Thursday when the Democratic candidate announced that she would be ending her bid for the White House, citing misogyny and noting that they now have to choose between two male candidates aged 77 and 78.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) had amassed an enviable list of celebrity endorsements during her run for the Democratic nomination, including actress Ashley Judd, who even joined the candidate on the campaign trail.

Actress Amber Tamblyn thanked Warren for “changing my life forever” and “for being angry for us.” She also thanked the candidate for “mirroring to your fellow white women how to lead in alliance and in community with black and brown women.”
The actress didn’t mention the fact that Warren claimed for years to be Native American but later admitted that her claims weren’t true.
