If the public needed a crystal-clear explanation of why actress Susan Sarandon “broke up” with Hillary Clinton and went over to the “Bern” side, they got it in an interview she did with Stephen Colbert on the “Late Show.”
“I’m more afraid of Hillary Clinton’s war record and hawkishness than I am of building a wall,” Sarandon told Colbert. “But that doesn’t mean I would vote for Trump.”
She also said, “I told her don’t go in Iraq — I’m very upset about that. I said, ‘You know, there’s not enough evidence and there’s no exit strategy’ — everything that everyone was saying. And she went in. So I was like, ‘Who is this person?’ I can’t trust her.”
Other frank comments from Sarandon about the Democratic front-runner: “Fracking is absolutely the worst thing you could do for the environment. She goes behind my back and she’s selling it all over the world … How can I trust her? How can I go back with her?”
Colbert asked her, “What do you see in Bernie?”
Sarandon replied, “He’s been consistently morally in the right place my entire life … And he’s just so clear against the [Iraq] war… You need somebody who has the moral judgment beforehand, not when it’s safe.”
