Her tweet featured a screenshot of Obama’s playlist and another showing a previous tweet she made earlier that morning recalling the first time she voted for him.
“The first President I could ever vote for was Obama,” she said in the tweet. “I was so proud of my right to vote and I will never take it for granted. I love us.”
“I’m not sure who I’m voting for yet, but it for damn sure isn’t Trump,” she added.
