Bernie Sanders-backer Rosario Dawson also stands with Monica Lewinsky, the actress said during a rally for the Vermont senator Saturday.

Dawson told the Wilmington, Delaware, crowd: “We are literally under attack — not just for supporting the other candidate.


"I’m with Monica Lewinsky on this … bullying is bad,” she said, adding that she believes the attacks she cited are “a campaign strategy” of Clinton’s team.

Dawson went on to briefly praise Lewinsky, who was at the center of a sex-scandal with Clinton’s husband, former President Bill Clinton, during their time in the White House.

Dawson has become a vocal surrogate on the campaign trail for Sanders, but the senator has not used the affair to attack the Clintons publicly. He did, however, in a January interview say that Bill Clinton’s affair was “totally disgraceful and unacceptable."

When it was brought up at an Iowa town hall Sanders said, “I am running against Hillary Clinton. I’m not running against Bill Clinton."

Lewinsky has since dedicated her life to anti-bullying efforts, and has spoken out on cyberbullying.
