A horde of Hollywood figures poured on praise for two of the ten Democratic presidential candidates who took the stage for Thursday night’s debate: South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg (D) and Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA).
“Let’s cut the bullshit my resister friends, of the 20 we’ve now seen only 1 will send the 2 real enemies of the people, donnie & mitch, where all traitors to our cherished system need to be relagated to, trading cigs with the manaforts of this world in lockup.@KamalaHarris…,” actor Ron Perlman declared.
“My initial thoughts: .@KamalaHarris is mesmerizing and so smart. I was inspired,” actress and far-left activist Alyssa Milano said. “I wanted to hear more from @AndrewYang and @marwilliamson and I felt like they were dismissed. I felt @PeteButtigieg is a bright light in a super dark time.”
“But @KamalaHarris—WOW!” Milano said.
“Winners of the night no contest IMO: Kamala, Bernie, Pete,” actress-comedian Sarah Silverman said.
Other Hollywood figures like actor John Cusack and left-wing documentary filmmaker Michael Moore lavished Sen. Bernie Sander (D-VT) with praise.
“Tonight’s winners: Kamala Harris & Bernie Sanders! Bernie’s closing statement was THE warning: If we don’t vote for the ONE who will take on Wall St & corporate America, NOTHING will change,” Moore said. “Again, only 2 candidates raised their hands AGAINST for-profit health ins:Kamala & Bernie.”
Rosie O’Donnell gushed over Sen. Harris and said Joe Biden is “too old.” The former View co-host also said she likes “honest, articulate, and Intelligent” Mayor Buttigieg.
Author and long-shot candidate Marianne Williamson was the clear punchline of the night, as she was the butt of several jokes.
