Celebrity reactions to the election that made us cry
The U.S. Presidential election caused a whirlwind of emotions, but it was these celebrity reactions that really gave us all the feels.

Aaron Sorkin
Oscar winner Aaron Sorkin penned a heart-wrenching letter in Vanity Fair to his daughter about the importance of standing up for what you believe.
“Here’s what we do…We get involved. We do what we can to fight injustice anywhere we see it — whether it’s writing a check or rolling up our sleeves. Our family is fairly insulated from the effects of a Trump presidency so we fight for the families that aren’t. We fight for a woman to keep her right to choose. We fight for the First Amendment and we fight mostly for equality — not for a guarantee of equal outcomes but for equal opportunities. We stand up.”
Chelsea Handler
Chelsea Handler couldn’t hold back tears on her show the day after the election.
John Legend
This Instagram post pretty much sums of the roller coaster that was this election.
Amber Tamblyn
Her letter on Glamour.com thanked Hillary Clinton for inspiring a whole generation of young women.
“We had courage because you’ve always had courage. We got back up and kept fighting because you are the ultimate boxer. We didn’t stay quiet because you never stayed quiet. We want you to know that we see the work you have done, and we now know the work we still have to do.”
Emma Watson
The HeForShe ambassador’s simple, yet powerful, tweet reminded us that sometimes you just have to keep fighting.
Today I am going to deliver Maya Angelou books to the New York subway. Then I am going to fight even harder for all the things I believe in.

James Corden
The talk show host’s opening monologue reflected on the what makes a country great.
Jennifer Lawrence
JLaw’s statement on Broadly stressed that we cannot change the past, only the future.
“I want to be positive; I want to support our democracy, but what can we take away from this? It’s a genuine question that we all need to ask ourselves. We shouldn’t blame anyone, we shouldn’t riot in the streets. We should think strongly and clearly about what to do next because we cannot change the past…Do not let this defeat you — let this enrage you! Let it motivate you! Let this be the fire you didn’t have before.”
Seth Meyers
Seth Meyers had us all choked up talking about his mom’s vote for Hillary.
Gloria Steinem
Activist Gloria Steinem explained what this election, and its result, really means for women in an opinion piece for The Guardian.
“Hillary Clinton didn’t just play the game; she changed the rules…That’s why she was, and always has been, supported more by women than by men, more by voters of colour than by white voters, and more by scientists than creationists. It’s also why she is deeply and vehemently resented.”
Keke Palmer
“Together, WE change the world.”
Hillary Clinton
And finally, Secretary Hillary Clinton’s powerful concession speech, and her inspiring message to all women, had us reaching for the tissues.
