VIDEO: Susan Sarandon ‘There’s going to be’ an indictment
Actress Susan Sarandon predicted Thursday that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will be indicted over her use of a private email system while at the State Department, an issue that has hung over her entire campaign.
Sarandon, an outspoken supporter of Sen. Bernie Sanders, told MSNBC Thursday that she made the remark when discussing the potential of flipping some superdelegates who support Clinton to Sanders side.
“Nobody’s even talking about this indictment. What happens with that?” Sarandon told MSNBC’s Chris Jansing. “Besides the trust issue of catching her in so many lies…”
“Well, there has been no indictment,” Jansing responded.
“No, but there’s going to be. There’s going to be. I mean, it’s inevitable,” Sarandon said. “[W]e don’t know that he’s not going to get the numbers either,” Sarandon added.
The famed actress also said that it is unlikely that she will back Clinton if she were to win the Democratic nominee, and pointed to her hawkish foreign policy as a main reason. She has also been a constant critic of Clinton throughout the primary race, having campaign extensively for the Vermont senator. In April, Sarandon tore into critics of female voters supporting Sanders, telling them to stop“shaming” them for doing so.”
Sanders famously declined to make Clinton’s use of a private server an issue in the campaign, saying in the first Democratic debate that he was tired of hearing about her “damn emails.”
