Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren and freshman Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said the finale of HBO's hit show Game of Thrones was ruined by men thinking women are too emotional to lead.
'I feel like we were getting so close to having this ending with just women running the world, and then the last two episodes it's like, 'Oh, they're too emotional, the end' Ocasio-Cortez said of the series finale, which aired Sunday night,
'It's like, ugh! This was written by men,' Ocasio-Cortez lamented.
In a video posted to Twitter Tuesday, where the two appeared side by side, Warren, a 2020 Democratic candidate for president, agreed with the assessment by the congresswoman from New York.
'Working family-focused policies + Game of Thrones gender convos. Elect you an official that can do both,' Ocasio-Cortez tweeted along with the video, adding that the two would also be releasing another video later in the week that would include 'something we're working on.'

The popular show has a cult-like following, and was based on a novel by George R. R. Martin 'A Song of Ice and Fire.' It concluded over the weekend after airing on HBO for eight years.
The main quest in the series is the battle to find the rightful king or queen to rule over the seven kingdoms in Westeros, and sit on the so-called 'Iron Throne.'
The conclusion left many fans unsatisfied – and even angry – when one of the main heroines, Daenerys Targaryen, went crazy and burned a whole city with her dragon.
Antagonist, and Targaryen's lover, Jon Snow, killed her when it became clear that she had gone crazy and would use her new power to burn other cities to the ground.
Snow stabbed the woman he loved while the two shared a last kiss, and he wept over her dead body.
Many who follow the show closely felt that Targaryen was the rightful heir to the throne, and were cheering for a woman to lead, and others cheered for Snow to take control and rule as King.
