Susan Sarandon: Hillary Clinton “more dangerous” than Donald Trump

[brooklynite]

Salon:

Outspoken Bernie Sanders supporter Susan Sarandon, who previously made clear that although she may not vote for Hillary Clinton, she is not a Donald Trump supporter, is again making provocative statements about the state of race. This time, insisting that Clinton will soon be criminally indicted and that if she isn’t, then she will surely prove more of a danger on foreign policy than Trump.

...snip...

Speaking with The Young Turks Politics Reporter Jordan Chariton in California, Sarandon made clear that she believed because of the lack of media scrutiny placed on Clinton’s record, she viewed Clinton as actually more dangerous than the blustery strong-man running on the Republican ticket.

“I believe in a way she is more dangerous,” Sarandon suggested without mentioning Trump’s name, after Chariton asked her why Clinton’s foreign policy went largely unchallenged during the Democratic primary.

Bernie lets her appear on his stage; I wonder if he agrees?

1. OK, she is officially losing it. nt

12. ^^This^^

[Agschmid]

2. Girl, please.

[leftynyc]

23. Well put (n/t)

[BeyondGeography]

3. She oozes wisdom

[Tal Vez]

5. I'm glad that Bernie doesn't agree with her about that.

[comradebillyboy]

8. Really, how do we know that he disagrees since she is

frequently on stage with him and is one of his most important surrogates? I haven't heard Sanders say he disagrees with Sarandon yet.

[Tal Vez]

13. I've heard Bernie say that he believes that a Trump presidency is the worst possible outcome

(or words to that effect.) Would he say something like that if he thought a Clinton presidency would be more dangerous than a Trump presidency?

[geek tragedy]

10. Bernie claims he doesn't agree with that.

We'll see whether his actions match his words.

[LenaBaby61]

6. I was going to comment...

But why bother. She's not even wort it

[comradebillyboy]

7. One of Sanders' most prominent surrogates eh?

Fits right in with the Politico story this morning about Bernie delegates from NY planning to cause disruptions at the convention.

[geek tragedy]

9. Nice surrogate and unity ambassador, Bernie.

Anyone still thinking he's going to do everything he can to help the nominee defeat Trump?

[emulatorloo]

11. I doubt Bernie agrees w false equivalencies between Trump and HRC

Given most everything he's said regarding HRC being a much better president than any Republican.

Sarandon pretty much destroyed here credibility as a surrogate though.

[Agnosticsherbet]

14. So equal pay for women is worse than rounding up Muslims, Latinos, and Hispanics for deportation.

I think the dictionary she used to define "worse" has a misprint.

You'd think that a 1%er who owns five houses and will benefit from Trumps cut in taxes for the wealthy could afford a better dictionary.

[Peacetrain]

15. Well if she said that.. she is a complete delusional ass hat..

[frylock]

16. Trump has made a mess of Libya.

24. Sarandon is worried Clinton will start a war with Iran.

“She did not learn from Iraq, and she is an interventionist, and she has done horrible things, and very callously, I don’t know if she is overcompensating or what her trip is,” Sarandon said, adding, “I think we’ll be in Iran in two seconds.”

25. It's sad so many people listen to the political views of others who can memorize a script.

Will the Kardashians chime in next?

[Nonhlanhla]

26. Perhaps she should stick with being an actress. nt.

[Sanity Claws]

27. Why is anyone giving her much attention?

She has no authority or power. Why quote her and in effect give her power that she does not have?
Really, no one is going to vote one way or the other because of what comes out of her mouth.

[geek tragedy]

31. better question is why does a purportedly serious candidate for President put this privileged clown

out there as an official surrogate?

[Sanity Claws]

33. Official?

Please enlighten me regarding her official status.
What is her title? Who hired her? For what purpose?

[geek tragedy]

35. she's represented his campaign on television, at official campaign rallies, and

has personally joined him at campaign appearances.

Just like her fellow public intellectuals Tim Robbins, Killer Mike and Rosario Dawson.

[bettyellen]

37. She has spoken at rallies and caucuses, made a lot of tv appearances to talk Bernie.

[obamanut2012]

41. She is an official surrogate for the Sanders campaign

100%.

[obamanut2012]

28. Sarandon is an official surrogate of the Sanders campaign

So, yes.

[tonyt53]

30. And her position of knowledge is what? Being a celebrity doesn't really matter.

[redstateblues]

32. Any progressive that thinks voting for Trump

Is a good idea is not a progressive. Naderites take notice.

[rock]

34. In a sense

Hillary's going to have the Atomic Football. What can Trump do? Spit on you?

[EndElectoral]

36. I don't think Bernie needs everyone who appears on stage with him to agree on every point

Unlike HRC who only wants "yes" people deferring to here, he's welcoming to those who may dissent.

[MoonRiver]

38. There is something profoundly wrong with this woman!

[BobbyDrake]

39. BobbyDrake: Susan Sarandon "more dumb" than a pile of rocks.

You heard it here first, folks.

[lancer78]

40. This woman

has never had to carry a rapists child like my cousin did because of a lack of abortion providers. She needs to STFU.

[Maven]

42. She's gone off the fuckin' deep end. nt

[anotherproletariat]

43. There are clear signs of brainwashing here. nt
