Amy Schumer, Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds were among the Hollywood heavyweights who donated to Elizabeth Warren’s campaign

in recent months, according to quarterly disclosure documents filed with the FEC on Monday. Schumer gave $5,600; Johansson $2,800; and Reynolds $2,000.Shonda Rhimes, the prolific star television producer of shows like “Grey’s Anatomy” and “Scandal,” gave $2,800 to Warren’s campaign as did actor and director Rob Reiner. Screenwriter and “Lost” creator Damon Lindelof and his wife, Heidi, also each contributed $2,800, the maximum individual amount for an election.

Democratic Hollywood fundraiser Jeffrey Katzenberg, the former head of DreamWorks, gave $2,800 to Warren in the second quarter, as did his wife, Marilyn. Donors who gave the maximum contribution account for a tiny 2 percent of the $19.8 million Warren raised in the second quarter, most of which came in online from small donors. But Warren's growing big-name support reflects the enthusiasm that has built up for her campaign since the beginning of the year. She raised just over $6 million in the first quarter of 2019.

Warren also drew some high-profile donations from Silicon Valley, which she has targeted during her campaign with a proposal to break up tech giants like Facebook, Amazon, and Google. Tech supporters included John Macfarlane, the founder of Sonos, who gave $2,500 and Spotify CFO Barry McCarthy, who contributed $2,800. Chamath Palihapitiya, a former Facebook executive who now runs a tech-focused venture capital firm Social Capital, kicked in $5,000.

At least we'll know who to blame.

'Donors who gave the maximum contribution account for a tiny 2 percent of the $19.8 million Warren raised in the second quarter, most of which came in online from small donors.' 🔝💡 This is the real story. She is knocking it out of the park with small donors.

The privilege of being able to obtain a job as an actress or actor and getting paid millions of dollars doesn't make a person an A-lister of anything. Some celebrities have a difficult time remembering that the public buying a movie ticket is what gave them a paycheck.

Wait...tech executives Doesn't she want to break up big tech?

Hollywood elites hating on Bernie as well.🤔🤦‍♂️ Time to make these sickos pay.👍🏼

Heavyweights ? 🤷🏻‍♀️... Hollywood “Values” 😂😂😂? smokeandmirrors hollywoodandvalues mediapromotion youcantgolowerthanthat

So people who pretend to be others for a living donated to a politician pretending to be an Indian. Sounds about right.

the scarlett letter

How many beaver pelts did they each donate?
