"If you want a woman then vote for Jill Stein,” Mortensen said in an interview with The Daily Beast published on Saturday. “If you really want a woman president — if that’s what you want — vote for Jill Stein.”

Mortensen said he trusts Clinton, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, “as much as I trust Donald Trump,” the presumptive GOP nominee.

“I think she’s dishonest, and I don’t think she has the interests of working people at heart, and I think she’s shown that time and again. All the things that Bernie Sanders said about her I agree with," he said.

The actor vocalized his support for the progressive candidate in an interview with Democracy Now in November.

“I wish that Bernie Sanders would be president, for many reasons. I think in many ways he speaks truth to power,” he said.

“And I know the argument is, ‘Yes, if you vote for Jill Stein you’re giving Trump a chance.’ The Nader argument," he said Saturday. "But you know, at some point it’s got to change. We should have a parliamentary system. It’s really got to change.”
