"We will repel bullies. We will shelter freaks and outcasts; those who have no home."

When the cast of Stranger Things won the award for Ensemble in a Drama Series, all of the Netflix show's stars, especially Winona Ryder, were stunned. But aside from the variety of faces Winona made at the show, David K. Harbour, who plays police chief Jim Hopper, gave an impassioned acceptance speech that brought the audience to their feet.

"We will repel bullies. We will shelter freaks and outcasts; those who have no home. We will get past the lies. We will hunt monsters," he said. "And when we are lost amidst the hypocrisy and casual violence of certain individuals and institutions … we will punch some people in the face when they seek to destroy the weak and the disenfranchised and the marginalized. And we will do it all with soul and with heart and with joy." 

While many of the night's stars threw down their own opinions of Donald Trump and the new immigration ban, this one was definitely a moment that no one would forget.
