Susan Sarandon isn’t backing down from her Jill Stein vote.
Almost 13 months after the election, the Bernie Sanders supporter is still defending voting independent after Hillary Clinton won the Democratic nomination.
Sarandon, who said in June 2016 that Clinton’s foreign policy made her more dangerous to national security than then-presidential candidate Donald Trump, told the Guardian that she stands by the quote.
“I did think she was very, very dangerous. We would still be fracking, we would be at war,” the “Feud” star said.
“It wouldn’t be much smoother. Look what happened under Obama that we didn’t notice.”
Sarandon, who said she doesn’t refer to herself as a feminist because people associate the label with “strident b—hes,” called it “counterproductive” to be angry.
President Clinton “wouldn’t be much smoother” than President Trump, Sarandon said.
“That image of the shrill woman became the definition of a feminist for a long time. And women had a right to be angry, and to feel empowered. But that was just one glimpse of a fairly emotional and strident definition, and there was a period when young women didn’t want that label,” she told the Guardian.
“It’s come back, and it’s gotten warped, especially with the election, where if you’re a woman you have to support Hillary Clinton.”
Even so, Sarandon said she sees the most attacks from liberals.
“The amount of denial…I mean it’s very flattering to think that I, on my own, cost the election,” she said. “That my little voice was the deciding factor.”
