Sarah Silverman appeared Monday at the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia to speak with Sen. Al Franken and help introduce Paul Simon, but first she had a message to her fellow Bernie Sanders followers.
“I support Bernie Sanders and the movement behind him,” Silverman told the cheering crowd in her speech. “Not only did Bernie wake us up, he made us understand what is possible and what we deserve.”
But, “to the ‘Bernie or Bust’ people,” she said, “you’re being ridiculous.”
Silverman, ready to vote for Hillary Clinton but still supporting Sanders, said that the Vermont senator “showed us that all of Americas citizens deserve quality healthcare and education, not just the wealthy elite. I happen to believe the crazy notion that people that maybe weren’t born with the same opportunities as you and me should be given the same opportunities as you and me.”
