Stumping for Bernie Sanders, Academy Award winning actress and political activist Susan Sarandon sharply criticized Hillary Clinton for her connections to Wall Street and other big money establishment entities and compared the Vermont senator she supports with Donald Trump in multiple ways.

“Bernie is a candidate who is not the lesser of two evils,” the actress said on Boston Herald Radio. “He is a candidate who is not attached to Monsanto or Goldman Sachs … he has never taken money from a super PAC and isn't owned by anybody.”

Sarandon likened the anger that has Sanders drawing large crowds to the anger driving the rise of Trump on the GOP side. She also challenged a criticism of Sanders' left wing agenda — that it wouldn’t get through Congress — by saying the same could be said about many of the mogul's ideas.

“Can you imagine if Trump got in? Do you have the imagination to imagine that?” she said. “I don't know. That’s not going to be easy either, so you can’t apply that to just one candidate.

“It is going to be hard,” Sarandon added, referring to Sanders plans like single-payer health care and free tuition at public colleges. “But he has actually worked with more people across the aisle than (Clinton) has.”

Sarandon, who won the Oscar for her role in "Dead Man Walking" in 1995 and starred in cult classics like "Bull Durham" and "The Rocky Horror Picture Show," hammered Clinton for taking money from people the actress described as “evil.”

“If you want to protect the environment, it seems difficult to do that when you're still taking money from people who support fracking,” she said “I don't understand how that can work.”

Sarandon pointed to Clinton’s vote for the Iraq War as an example of her questionable judgment and said she had been “shamed” for being a woman and not backing the former First Lady.

“I would love to see a woman (be President); I love Elizabeth Warren,” Sarandon said. “But what we want is a revamping of the system so that everybody’s daughter could run for president, not just a billionaire, not just someone who’s been married to a president.”

Clinton has been pressed to release the transcripts of her speeches to Goldman Sachs — speeches that netted the former Secretary of State six figure returns. Clinton has claimed a double standard, but Sarandon said she sees it differently.

“There’s a double standard because [Sanders] doesn't take fees from Wall Street, so he has nothing to release,” she said. “When you make a speech and you make a lot, a lot of money and you're connected to Goldman Sachs, I think people are entitled to know what you promised them. You would ask that of a man.

“I think all of these things are an insight into character,” Sarandon added. “I think there is a pattern there that exists that tells us what kind of a person she is.”

Sarandon also chimed in on this weekend’s Academy Awards, which have been the subject of controversy and boycotts due to the lack of minority nominees.

“It’s no secret that Hollywood is sexist and racist and ageist,” she said, adding the Oscars need campaign finance reform.

“You cannot get that far if you don't spend a lot of money,” Sarandon said. “There are so many performances by people of all different ages and colors that aren’t even getting considered because they don't have a way to sponsor all the lunches, dinners, trips, festivals, or making of the copies that need to go out, the screeners that need to go out.”
