Rosario Dawson compared anti-Bernie Sanders rhetoric to the bullying Monica Lewinsky faced

Actress Rosario Dawson drew a comparison between the backlash faced by Bernie Sanders from Hillary Clinton supporters and by Monica Lewsinky following her affair with former President Bill Clinton.

"We are literally under attack for not just supporting the other candidate," Politico reports Dawson said at a Delaware rally on Saturday. "Now I'm with Monica Lewinsky on this. Bullying is bad."

The Sanders campaign doesn't often make any mention of Clinton's husband's affair.
