After veteran actress-activist-Bernie Sanders mouthpiece Susan Sarandon shocked fans during an interview with MSNBC’s Chris Hayes earlier this week over what was perceived as an endorsement of Republican blowhard presidential candidate Donald Trump over Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton, the still-comely 69-year-old has revealed that she has finally seen the light and says she misspoke about…
OK, we got you. Happy April Fool’s day, readers! We presume Ms. Sarandon remains a staunch Sanders supporter and don’t expect that to change in the near future. Don’t get mad, just enjoy this clip of Susie at her most beguiling.

I knew this couldnt be real, hoe my gahd.
Shes too ethical for $hillary -but idve answered ” write him in ” if i were her rather than trump
Cant settle for same old corruption, this election is playing out like 08 anyway
John Malin
Seriously? Then you will be looking at decades of the extreme right having control of all three branches of government. Try doing some real analytical thinking.

Why does America give such credence to actors in matters of politics and world issues. These people have no more idea than anyone else about these issues yet they are treated as authorities and used to endorse. They may have a platform due to their celebrity but they don’t have the education or experience to be true authorities. It is so baffling to see their influence in such matters.

Someone remind me….why is this news? And who’s supposed to care?
Daniel Salmeron
Lol

Susan Sarandon Trump
Stephen Devine
She is just to crazy to see any light!
Erin Capuano

Barbara Ley

Stefano Gant
Is that April fools day news?

Dave Downunder – it is the disease of our times, holding people like this in high regard, taking their word as law. They are the trees that grower higher, so they get the most wind So, since we cannot do anything about it, we may as well call them out on their actions. Hold them accountable for their actions and be the people who steer them where we as society wants them, She was prior to her latest statement, a staunch LGBT supporter, and I believe she still is. It was just a windy few days for her.

@Dave Downunder: I wondered the same thing when Jane Fonda’s ass was making grand theft money for speaking fees running around the world ranting and raving about the horrors of nuclear power while knowing not ONE damn thing as to how nuclear power plants work nor just how useful they actually are. That was less than ten years after the traitor went to Hanoi and let them use her against her own country. When she wasn’t tried for treason I will never understand.
Greg Taylor
Who cares? She’s just an actress…
Bob LaBlah
@Bob LaBlah: I left off that equally useless ass Ralph Nader, the one is more responsible for Bush and the Iraq war than Bush is himself. That asshole, who never held public office but ran for president knew damn well he was syphoning votes from Al Gore and thanks to his candidacy we ended up with Bush. Welcome to America.

Haha you got me!

Bob LaBlah, I concur. Ralph Nader has blood on his hands. What a ‘tard! I hope Bern doesn’t pull a Ralph Nader.

Sarandon would never support Trump and she’ll won’t support Hillzilla, the fracking queen.
Shane Estes
This just in: Susan Sarandon matters!

Americans give credence to actors, as if their opinion matters because it’s all about marketing. A thousand people like Susan and Susan likes Bernie, then a thousand people like Bernie. The voting public in America are the stupidest, most uninformed, emotional voters on the face of the earth. Yet, we are charged with electing arguably the most powerful person on the planet every 4 years. We vote for a guy because he’s black, yet we decry racism. We vote for a woman because of guilt over past misogyny. We look to movie stars to help us decide who to vote for. So, we have a criminal, liar and an elitist 1%’er on the Democrat side and an inexperienced shoot from the hip guy for the GOP. There’s nobody else? No erudite academic? No skilled business leader? We have to choose from this recycled trash? How fucked up is all of this?

I told you…dementia setting in

@Jordan Walker: The Republican party thanks you and others of that mind-set. That is exactly what will lead to a Republican victory and then everyone is beyond fucked. Hillary is far from perfect but compared to ANY republican she is damn near it.
DCguy
She’s rich, straight, and passed the age when she worries about getting pregnant.
In other words, nothing will happen to her either way. No matter who gets elected she is fine. She and Caitlyn Jenner are in the same position, their wealth shields them from anything like politics mattering to them.
Peggy M.e. Postma
How stupid can you be Susan Sarandon…..?
Sand Nierenberg
She’s obviously bi polar

@Jordan Walker:
So I guess you won’t mind a GOP presidency that will assuredly set the LGBT community back decades. Because that’s EXACTLY the thing we’ll get if you don’t vote Dem (whichever candidate gets the nomination) come November. And when you’re kicked out of housing or lose your marriage rights, you won’t be allowed to complain, because you insisted on ideological purity over the interests of your fellow citizens.
John Malin
Sarandon and Pro Sanders, as well as Pro Clinton people need to wake up and look at the realities of this election and what it means. Here are some sobering things to ponder, the entire House of Representatives is up for election, thirty four, or slightly more than one third of the Senate seats are also to be decided. Political analysts believe that two of the ten contested Democratic seats are a tossup and of the twenty four contested Republican seats up for reelection, only two are also a tossup. Within the next five years, three of the four of the current Supreme Court Justices will either die or retire, so the next President will nominate enough Justices to affect the nation for the next twenty five years, or more. We are in extreme danger of the extreme right having control for decades. Consider your choices wisely.

Well she has just proven herself to be a HUGE PHONEY!!!!
She’s clearly a Bernie or Bust supporter. Good riddance to her.

@o.codone: You want emotional and screwed up? Take a look at Trump supporters. Ignorant, illiterate and mindless. That is what Trump supporters are all about. You can’t prove she is a liar or a criminal. You just repeat what you have been spoonfed by Fox News. Your idiotic attack on Obama and Clinton supporters show your own ignorance and mental deficiencies. Obama was elected because he certainly was smart (an academic too) and Hillary now as she is one of the smartest this country could have.
Emotional and screwed up… The GOP in its entirety.

@Jordan Walker: Are you dumb? How is it playing out like 2008? Hillary is headed for the nomination and Presidency. Bernie is berned out.
Daggerman
..well, no shadow of a doubt Susan Sarandon will remain in my heart a lovely beautifully talented actress/actor…she is lucky to have pendulous breasts though…but performing in ‘The Rocky Horror Picture Show’ is one of my faves of all time!
Rolland Skip Bretz
Really amazes me how all you star struck people. Actually care what these people think or say there just humans that we have made stars. Their not God. So who cares. Zip it and go act…..
Jaroslaw
Obviously giving credence to actors in general is a stupid idea, but if anyone has listened to Susan Sarandon, she knows a lot more about the issues than a great many voters!
DuMaurier
“…what was perceived as an endorsement of Republican blowhard presidential candidate Donald Trump over Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton.”
Only to completely non-sentient headline writers and Twitter idiots. Any first grader who listened to the interview knew she never stated or implied any such thing.

If all you dumb fucks could read, you could see that it’s an April fools joke!

i hate this joke.
JessPH
@Thomas Difresco: Her support for Trump over Hillary is not a joke.
DuMaurier
@JessPH:
(Gritting my teeth) She never stated or even implied “support for Trump over Hillary.” I guess the lesson here is that thoughtful, exploratory, intelligent conversation is impossible in the age of Internet click-baitism.
She said that some people think (not even necessarily HER)a President Trump would bring on “the revolution”–precisely because he’s so horrible. Chris Hayes got it; she was talking about a very old idea that fundamental social change can be impeded more by “liberal” policies than reactionary ones, since the former will try to defuse the demand for change by placating the oppressed with “goodies” like social spending, worker’s comp, etc (see Chancellor Bismarck, or even FDR–the New Deal “saved capitalism!”) You don’t have to agree with it–again, she didn’t even say SHE agreed with it–but it’s a legitimate intellectual debate, and does not deserve the simple-minded, obtuse headlines and reaction it got.
GC1985
@DuMaurier: She doesn’t get it. It’s either Hillary or the republican party. That’s the problem with some Bernie supporters. Luckily most polls shows around 90% of Bernie supporters will support Hillary and are fine doing it. That 10% is quite vocal in making up the same charges against Hillary that Fox News comes up with.
Sarandon has her history wrong and made little sense. Richard Nixon was horrible and didn’t bring about a revolution (just a resignation). And we all know about Ronald Reagan. She is being complacent.
ScottOnEarth
Who seriously gives a shit who Susan Sarandon is voting for? Seriously. I have nothing against her but with the countless voters in this country, we’re focusing on an actress? I know this country’s celebrity worship is out-of-control but this is just too stupid. BUT, on a superficial note, she looks gorgeous!
