When will the 2020 Democrat fundraising push see its first major celebrity involvement? We have no idea, but for now, Alyssa Milano has announced her choice for the first fundraising effort of the 2020 campaign:
I’m going to my first fundraiser of the election cycle and it’s for-@marwilliamson.
I know. I know. But she’s the only candidate talking about the collective, soulful ache of the nation & I think that’s an important discussion to have.
Look for her soon on @sorrynotsorry.

And as I’ve said before, I’m not committing to anyone yet. I’m going to support everyone if given the opportunity until the choice is crystal clear.

Considering Milano’s energetic support for Jon Ossoff in Georgia and Beto O’Rourke in Texas, her early focus on Williamson is being considered an early political campaign kiss of death:
And like that *blows on fingertips* @marwilliamson's political career is over. https://t.co/UaGoxL6E4J

Will Williamson tout her celebrity fundraising backer at the upcoming Dem debates in Detroit later this month?
It’s happening https://t.co/IPijiWaGvE

This is, in all honesty, a little too perfect.
Are we in a Punk'd reboot? https://t.co/PZf8LKwTO0

Ever consider 'the nation'doesn't have a soulful ache? Maybe it's just you Californians?

Milano responded to one bit of blue check criticism this way:
Really? She's an anti-vaxxer. This is incredibly irresponsible.

Smoking in your profile picture is also incredibly irresponsible. ??♀️

Oh it’s lit! And not just that cigarette:
Maybe you were just tired and frustrated when you tweeted this. Maybe it was before you had your morning coffee. But please reconsider. You have an important voice, please don't stiffle it with a 'Jill Stein-like' decision. https://t.co/4DGkFJqfz8

One of the least qualified candidates, who had no business on the debate stage.
You're squandering your credibility by doing this.

I'm sorry, Alyssa, but I can no longer follow you if you're going to support a junk science, anti-vaxxer. I know you don't care, but I can no longer follow you. We have to make a stand that we won't let any more Jill Steins cause us to lose the WH.

Disappointed in your decision. https://t.co/yddyzmvbAW

Would probably prefer you spent any political capital on someone who is actually electable and can beat Drumpf.

There’s definitely going to be a global popcorn shortage in 2020.
