Amy Schumer Officially Endorses Hillary Clinton & Uses The Perfect 'Bambi' Quote For The Occassion

This story is from a couple days ago, so please forgive if it has already been posted. I checked, but didn't see it. There are also some typos in the original.

http://www.bustle.com/articles/151099-amy-schumer-officially-endorses-hillary-clinton-uses-the-perfect-bambi-quote-for-the-occassion

More and more celebrities are coming forward with who they are supporting during the 2016 presidential race. On Wednesday, Amy Schumer officially endorsed Hillary Clinton on social media with quite the announcement photo of herself wearing a figure skater's costume in front a seated Clinton. FYI, the photo is a snapshot from when they both appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show in September 2015. And once you get past her attire (BTW, she totally rocks it), you should definitely absorb her caption, which reads, "#imwithher rememeber [sic] what thumper said everyone."

Who is Thumper? Well, I can only imagine Schumer is referring to Thumper the adorable rabbit from Bambi. Only true fans will remember what Thumper said. Not only is he famous for thumping his foot, but he also has a memorable quote from the 1942 animated film. After his mother says to him, "What did your father tell you this morning?" Thumper then says, "If you can't say something nice, don't say nothing at all." The Golden Globe-nominated actor recognizes not everyone will agree with her supporting Clinton or her opinions, but that doesn't mean she wants to hear from the haters.

It's really no surprise that Schumer is backing Clinton, because on more than one occasion she's discussed the possible future POTUS and has had nothing but positive things to say about the presidential candidate.


There are also some good excerpts and photos at the link.

... some sort of petition to have her show cancelled and to boycott all her appearances. I'm equally positive that her Facebook page is being slammed with negative comments. That's how they roll.

but she is amazing so far. The one of her as Bill Cosby's lawyer was brilliant.

She totally gets angst related to a sexist society, and so much of her comedy comes from that female perspective.
