Out soccer star Megan Rapinoe has
endorsed Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren for president.
Rapinoe made her endorsement on social
media, posting a video of herself speaking to Warren by phone.
“I truly believe the best things in
life are a result of being bold and being real,” Rapinoe captioned
the video on Twitter. “I'm proud to endorse Elizabeth Warren today,
for being bold, for being real, for listening to ALL of us, and for
being prepared to navigate the unique challenges we face today as a
country.”
In
the video, Warren calls Rapinoe, who appears to be at an airport,
from the back seat of a moving car.
“And I just think that it's amazing,”
Rapinoe tells Warren about her campaign. “It's big. It's bold. I
just don't think we can get to a better place by waling this moderate
line.”
Warren also congratulated Rapinoe for
being named Sports Illustrated's Sportsperson of the Year.
