Sarah Silverman tells Bernie or Bust crowd: 'You're being ridiculous'
Throughout the Democratic primary, Sarah Silverman was one of Bernie Sanders' most vocal celebrity supporters, and while she remains "inspired" by the senator, she has a message for the Bernie or Bust camp: "You're being ridiculous."
Silverman called the Democratic primary "exemplary," since it didn't devolve into name calling or comments on the size of a candidate's hands. "That stuff is for third graders," she said. "That's major arrested development stuff. That's 'I'm still emotionally four and calling people names from my gold-encrusted sand box because I was given money instead of human touch or coping tools' stuff." She's behind Clinton now, calling her the "only person overqualified for a job as the president," but remains "inspired and moved to action by the ideals set forth by Bernie, who will never stop fighting for us. I'm proud to be part of Bernie's movement, and a vital part of that movement is being absolutely sure Hillary is the next president of the United States of America."
