In the 2016 presidential election, one candidate had a history of lying, deleting emails, abusing power to create a “pay to play

apparatus, and had played a major role in leading the United States into wars in the Middle East and Africa.

That candidate was Hillary Clinton, not Donald Trump — and actress Susan Sarandon is not afraid to admit that.

During a recent interview with The Guardian, Sarandon said she has been subjected to extreme backlash for supporting Independent Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders over former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in the presidential election.

Sarandon said she received harsh criticisms after she began publicly saying she believed Clinton would be more dangerous in office than Trump.

Sarandon was asked if she stood by comments that she made on MSNBC’s Chris Hayes on “All In With Chris Hayes” before the Democratic National Convention in July 2016, where she warned that Clinton would be a dangerous president that led the U.S. to the same pointless wars as former President Barack Obama.

“Not exactly, but I don’t mind that quote. I did think she was very, very dangerous,” she said.

“We would still be fracking, we would be at war (if she was president). It wouldn’t be much smoother. Look what happened under Obama that we didn’t notice,” she added.

When Clinton secured the Democratic nomination by colluding with the Democratic National Committee, Sarandon said she refused to support Clinton because she knew how dangerous she would be as Commander-in-Chief.

“I got from Hillary people ‘I hope your crotch is grabbed,’ ‘I hope you’re raped.’ Misogynistic attacks. Recently, I said ‘I stand with Dreamers and that started another wave,” Sarandon said. “From the left! ‘How dare you! You who are responsible for this!’”

She was threatened, denigrated, and verbally abused by Clinton supporters across all industries because she wouldn’t cower to liberal pressure and support Clinton.

Saradon said her career has been marred because Hollywood and the mainstream media have blacklisted her because she didn’t support Clinton.

After the election, she said she was forced to defend her political positions whenever she appeared on a talk show or did an interview.

Sarandon said she voted for Jill Stein, a third party Green Party candidate, in the 2016 election.

Clinton supporters have assumed the same role as their leader: blame everyone and everything else for Hillary’s embarrassing election loss instead of taking any responsibility.

Clinton was not only a terrible candidate with a corrupt record, she also ran against a candidate that stood for everything she was against — putting the U.S. and the American people first.

Sarandon was spot on with her comments, and we should be thankful every single day Clinton is not our Commander-in-Chief.
