Hollywood flocked to social media in droves to celebrate Democrat Doug Jones’s victory over Republican Roy Moore in Alabama’s Senate special election Tuesday night.
Politically outspoken celebrities including Chris Evans, Barbra Streisand, Mark Ruffalo, Rose McGowan, Alyssa Milano, Ellen DeGeneres, Pink, and Alec Baldwin all weighed in on Tuesday night’s result, with many thanking Jones and Alabama voters.
Some, like actors Kumail Nanjiani and Alyssa Milano, responded by blasting Moore. Milano had been a vocal supporter of Jones throughout the campaign.
Fuck Roy Moore….And the horse he rode in on.

Hey @MooreSenate, please don’t take the wrong way. But go fuck yourself. It’ll be the first time you’ll be doing that to someone your own age.

Jones’s victory in the race to replace former Sen. Jeff Sessions shrunk Republicans’s already slim majority in the Senate, cutting it to just one.

#DougJones has won the Alabama Senate seat vacated by #JeffSessions. I believe he will bring not just honor and pride to all the good citizens of Alabama, but a way forward to the decent jobs, education, and economy everyone wants.

Congratulations Alabama. One small step in the right direction for all of us.
our voices are being heard

This is one great step forward. Let us not rest on this. Let this encourage and empower us that every vote counts. That it is not partisan but American to fight for what is right, call out injustice & elect candidates who represent our ethical & moral fiber. Sleep well, friends.
