Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Elizabeth Warren, and Kirsten Gillibrand all hated the ending of Game of Thrones

The Game of Thrones series finale continues to draw some scathing reviews — not just from average fans but now from three prominent Democrats.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) teamed up in a spoiler-filled video posted on Warren's Twitter account on Tuesday to pan the finale, with Ocasio-Cortez describing herself as "disappointed" and "sad" and Warren saying she's feeling "meh" about it. In particular, they were critical of the show's treatment of its female characters.

"I feel like we were getting so close to having this ending with just women running the world, and then last two episodes, it's like 'Oh, they're too emotional," Ocasio-Cortez said. "'The end.' It's like, ugh, this was written by men."

Warren strongly agreed, expressing disappointment over Daenerys Targaryen's conclusion and that Sansa Stark did not end up on the Iron Throne. "Come on, Sansa!" Warren said. "Go for the big one!" Ocasio-Cortez concluded that "we need to get some feminist analysis up in HBO," and Warren concurred, adding, "they need some help on this."

This analysis comes after Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) previously offered an even more withering assessment of the highly-divisive Thrones finale, telling Now This she's "so pissed off" about it. "I hated it," Gillibrand said, complaining that the show "destroyed" her two favorite characters, Daenerys Targaryen and Jon Snow. "I'm angry and upset," she said.

With two 2020 Democrats now coming out swinging against Thrones, perhaps that petition to remake the last season, which has racked up more than 1.4 million signatures, may soon become an official campaign platform.
