@GeorgeTakei Thank you for endorsing @HillaryClinton for president!

I know he endorsed Hillary a long time ago but just ran across this on twitter.
Thank you George.

Here's the official site for endorsements. While Takai is listed as being fully behind Clinton, Sanders has an impressive list of celebrity endorsements as well.

Obviously, someone created that quote and image to mislead, but that's what happens in the internetsphere.

On Thursday, actor George Takei, known for his role as Sulu in the “Star Trek” franchise as well as an occasional announcer on “The Howard Stern Show,” came right out of the gate with his support for the supposed front-running Democratic presidential candidate in 2016.

“We’re Hillary supporters from way back,” Takei said at an appearance in Washington. (“We’re” refers to both Takei and his husband, Brad.) The actor added that he would “absolutely” vote for Clinton if she decided to run–all this knowingly in the face of the several points of which Republicans are prime to attack the former Secretary of State.
