Tim Robbins compares Hillary Clinton supporters to ‘sheep’

While introducing Bernie Sanders at a rally on the eve of the Wisconsin primary, actor Tim Robbins compared supporters of Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton to sheep.

“We’ve all been fed a steady stream of simplistic propaganda that furthers the establishment’s narrative that Hillary’s the presumptive nominee,” Robbins told the crowd in Green Bay, Wis., on Monday. “And if we were sheep, if we had gotten in line, there’d be no problem now.”

The 57-year-old Academy Award winner, best known for his roles in “The Shawshank Redemption,” “Mystic River” and “Bull Durham,” called Clinton an “establishment figure” whose pragmatism is at odds with the Vermont senator’s progressive ideals.

“Times have changed,” he said. “We are done with compromising our ideals.”

Robbins also pointed to then-Sen. Clinton’s 2002 vote in favor of the U.S. invasion of Iraq, which Sanders opposed.

“Tim Robbins is right,” Sanders said in his speech. “That war has been a disaster for our country and the Middle East in general. I voted against that war; Secretary Clinton voted for that war.”

Robbins isn’t the only actor out stumping for Sanders. Susan Sarandon, Rosario Dawson and Mark Ruffalo are among the self-described democratic socialist’s most visible surrogates.

At a rally in the Bronx on Thursday, Dawson slammed Clinton for suggesting Sanders’ call for the media to move on from Donald Trump’s “stupid remarks” on abortion showed he wasn’t serious about women’s rights.

“Regardless of the fact that he’s always stood up for women’s rights, equal pay, equality, and is pro-choice — which the other Democratic candidate very well knows — there’s this rumor that because he’s saying we’re giving Trump too much time on the airwaves, and we need to stop feeding into that hate, and talking about the issues, that somehow that meant he doesn’t care about women’s issues,” Dawson said. “Shame on you, Hillary.”

And Sarandon, Robbins’ former partner, stirred controversy last week when she said she wasn’t sure she’d vote for Clinton over Trump in the fall should both current frontrunners emerge as the nominees.

In an interview with MSNBC, the 69-year-old Academy Award winner suggested her fellow Sanders supporters — many of them first-time voters — won’t turn out for Clinton in a general election because “they feel like she’s not authentic, that she’s a liar, that they don’t trust her, so what difference does it make?”

Sarandon was asked if she was among them.

“I don’t know,” she said. “I’m gonna see what happens.”

“Well, you know, some people feel Donald Trump will bring the revolution immediately,” Sarandon explained. “If he gets in, then things will really explode.”

After backlash, Sarandon clarified her comments, saying she “would never support Trump.”
