Amy Schumer took to Instagram on Wednesday to share her grief — as one of Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton’s most vocal supporters — and to clarify some comments in which she reportedly threatened to move to Spain if Donald Trump was elected president.
“First of all, the interview where I said I would move was in London and was said in jest,” she says in the lengthy post. “Not that anyone needs more than a headline to count something as official news. Anyone saying ‘pack your bags’ is just as disgusting as anyone who voted for this racist homophobic openly disrespectful woman abuser.”
For Schumer, Clinton’s loss is heartbreaking. “Like the rest of us I am grieving today,” she writes. “My heart is in a million pieces. My heart breaks for my niece and my friends who are pregnant bringing children into the world right now. Like everyone else, I am horrified that people believed these bumper-sticker slogans filled with hate he spewed.”

Alongside the lengthy post, she shared a meme of Trump featuring a quote he supposedly said to People in 1998. The quote was identified as false back in July.
In the post, Schumer directly addressed Trump voters, writing, “People who voted for him, you are weak. You are not just misinformed. You didn’t even attempt information. You say lock her up and you know something about the word email, but what was in the emails? You have no clue. Well I’ll tell you if you were able to read this far through the holes in your sheet. They said nothing incriminating. Nothing.”
At the end of her post, she added: “Yes this quote is fake but it doesn’t matter.”

Many celebrities vow to leave the U.S. once Trump checks into the White House in January. Big names like Lena Dunham, Ne-Yo, Barbra Streisand, Samuel L. Jackson and Snoop Dogg have expressed their desire to leave America.
Bryan Cranston said he would leave the U.S. and move to Canada if Trump was elected president.
“Absolutely. I would definitely move. It’s not real to me that that would happen. I hope to God it won’t,” Cranston said to The Bestseller Experiment podcast when he was asked if he would take an extended holiday to Vancouver if Trump won.
Cher joked that she’d move to Jupiter, and Miley Cyrus said, “I am moving if he is president. I don’t say things I don’t mean!”
So far, no one’s headed for the border or announced any detailed plans for a big move.
