“He is not someone who used to be a Republican,” says Susan Sarandon while introducing Bernie Sanders at an ice cream social in Iowa, talking about how he’s fought for the same issues for years.

She doesn’t name names, but Elizabeth Warren was formerly a registered Republican.

1. Bite me, Susan.

[CentralMass]

5. +1

2. Anyone surprised by this??

Nope, didn't think so.

[dflprincess]

3. She hasn't learned a thing. nt

23. Uh, that's not the Chris Evans you're probably thinking of

For a start, that guy is black, so . . .

[George II]

24. That is the Chris Evans I'm thinking of. I follow him on twitter.

[2020Junker]

25. So, some random minor twitter person said something

Okedoke.

6. she wants trump in office so she can pay less taxes and play revolutionary

by tweeting about how outraged she is at what trump is doing.

she supported fuck8ng John Edwards so don't tell me it's about wanting someone more liberal. he co sponsored the iwr.

[Freethinker65]

7. Sanders should distance himself from Sarandon

[Blue_true]

9. He won't. He says nothing about the attacks by people like her on democrats, real democrats.

Warren may have been a republican, but she registered as a democrat when she saw fully what that party was about and has been a liberal stalwart.

[Freethinker65]

14. I know he won't. That is one of several reasons I will not vote for him again in a primary.

Sanders should be smart enough to accept votes from polarizing individuals without sharing his stage and platform with them.

[JI7]

17. he most likely agrees with her and what she says and does

[Blue_true]

8. Anyone that takes her seriously is a goddamned fool, IMO. nt

[brush]

10. What the hell, taking a chance like that? Sanders is someone who used to be an Independent...

then allegedly a Democrat, then an Independent again.

[BannonsLiver]

11. It's stuff like this that will make me savor every 3rd place finish for BS next winter.

I’m going to enjoy watching him lose. Again.

[MustLoveBeagles]

12. Susan's passive aggressive behavior doesn't' impress at all

[Thekaspervote]

13. Damn... I wish the 2 of them would go away!!

[Haggis for Breakfast]

15. WHY is this ridiculous woman getting ANY press ?

Note to media --- STOP putting this ridiculous woman in the news. No one cares what she thinks, no one cares what she says. After her last political mouthing off, she does not deserve any media.

Note to Susan --- Go FUCK yourself.

18. Keep talking

See where you're at come the primaries. Warren is stealing most of his supporters because of this...and the fact she has actual plans for how her policies would work. Finger wagging and dem bashing isn't gonna work this time.

[delisen]

19. Sarandon est.net worth is 50 million.

I don't think she likes Elizabeth Warren's wealth tax proposal which call for a tax on assets of 50 million and above.

Guess she has made a killing on Trump's tax cut for the super-rich.

[Baitball Blogger]

20. Susan Sarandon is dead to me.

Elizabeth Warren gets it. That's what matters.

21. For this thread

22. I quit the Republicans and became a Democrat when

Newt Gingrich became Speaker of the House. When was Sarandon an actual Democrat?

[Hassin Bin Sober]

27. You were a Republican through Reagan?

[comradebillyboy]

28. Spare me. I've been a Democrat at lot longer than Sanders.

[Vogon_Glory]

35. +1!!! n/t

[Vogon_Glory]

34. Spare us that line. Some of us were Cold Warriors

And we voted for the Republicans because they seemed more competent than the Democrats of that time. That was then, this is now.

Having said that, I’d to point out to the Bernie fans and self-appointed “keepers of the flame” that it’s clear as crystal that whatever foreign policy competence the Republicans may once have possessed is lost (And has been lost for decades), and that the few competent Republicans that may remain have either been sidelined by the whack-jobs and yo-yos that control today’s Republican Party or are very elderly and in increasingly frail health.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

42. Were you a Democrat when you voted for Reagan? Or did you consider yourself a Republican?

[Vogon_Glory]

45. An increasingly alienated Republican

The sort that the ivory-tower theorists, ideologues, and nut-cases later decimated in RINO hunts. You know the hunters’ types: the sorts willing to burn down party and country because the rest of them weren’t pure enough to please them. Like the sorts of mindsets at home in the Trump mal-administration.

I learn from my mistakes. I’m willing to do what I can to have a Democrat in office come the evening of Inauguration Day 2021 rather than flush the country down the toilet because the Democratic nominee didn’t cross every T and dot every I like I’d hope she would.

[Renew Deal]

26. Warren voted for Hillary in 2016. Who did Sarandon vote for?

[SharonClark]

29. Sanders can't have it both ways

He runs as a Democrat and then surrounds himself with people who hate Democrats - like Sarandon, Nina Turner, Killer Mike, etc.
I'll never trust him.

[DetlefK]

30. Fuck Susan Sarandon.

[still_one]

31. So glad I put the DVDs I had of her movies in the trash can in 2016, where she belongs

[Hassin Bin Sober]

33. You should buy some more and burn them!

[Vogon_Glory]

37. Susan Sarandon is a great actress and her

art can be enjoyed regardless of her political beliefs.

I also enjoy Richard Wagner (At least in small doses) and won’t toss my CD’s of his music just because I don’t agree with his politics either.

[mtnsnake]

32. Wow, I can't believe how so many of you are exploding at the bit over this.

Some of the remarks are so filled with anger and other responses are so juvenile that it's almost laughable how any adult could blow their top over something Sarandon said at this juncture in the race. Group anger therapy might be in order here. LOL

[LanternWaste]

44. Wish I could see the explosions you allege.

I just see some benign, inconsequential back and forth. But sure... 'explosions'. You go with that.

[BannonsLiver]

46. If she took a shot at BS you'd be the first one whining

[mtnsnake]

47. I couldn't give a rats ass who some Hollywood actress takes a shot at

Maybe you should take a couple deep breaths and do the same before you have another anxiety attack over something as trivial as Susan Sarandon taking a swipe at someone as if she was Putin or Kim Jong-un. Must have hit a nerve...lol

[Amimnoch]

36. Heh, and ole Suzie Q actually ASKED for Warren in 2016!

Link to tweet

Big ole phony.

[ehrnst]

40. Yep... (nt)

[Wounded Bear]

38. And Bernie used to be a Democrat...

then he wasn't, then he was, then he wasn't, now he is again. I'm losing count.

Should we worry over much on what people "used" to be?

[ehrnst]

41. Warren was a Democrat long before Bernie. (nt)

[ehrnst]

39. White wealthy entitlement at its most clueless. (nt)

[NNadir]

48. It's pretty funny. I support Warren BECAUSE she was once a Republican.

It means that she has the flexibility to change her mind when presented with evidence.

To me, this is the most important characteristic a 21st century President must have.

I wrote about my thinking on this topic here:
I support Elizabeth Warren because, according to the NYT puff piece, she used to be a Republican.
