Hollywood actress Susan Sarandon praised freshman Congresswomen Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ilhan Omar Monday for challenging “this racist president” and exposing “systemic, bipartisan white supremacy hiding in plain sight.”
Known for Thelma & Louise and other films, Sarandon sent a message of support the radical far-left Democrats in the House known as “the Squad” via her 631k follower Twitter account.
“I support @IlhanMN, @RashidaTlaib, @AOC & @RepPressley as they stand up to this racist president & expose systemic, bipartisan white supremacy hiding in plain sight in this country. Stay strong, your voices are so important as you fight for working people & the marginalized,” Sarandon tweeted.

Sarandon’s message comes in the wake of controversy sparked by President Donald Trump Sunday, who urged this group of Democrat congresswomen to “go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came” and “come back and show us how it is done.”

Trump tweeted,”So interesting to see ‘Progressive’ Democrat Congresswomen, who originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe, the worst, most corrupt and inept anywhere in the world (if they even have a functioning government at all), now loudly and viciously telling the people of the United States, the greatest and most powerful Nation on earth, how our government is to be run. Why don’t they go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came. Then come back and show us how it is done. These places need your help badly, you can’t leave fast enough. I’m sure that Nancy Pelosi would be very happy to quickly work out free travel arrangements!”

Sarandon Isn’t Alone Among Hollywood Left in Going After Trump
In addition to virtually every 2020 Democrat pouncing on Trump, Sarandon wasn’t the only Hollywood liberal to take the president to task.
“I know to call someone an ignorant racist is redundant. But with this President you have to add cruel and inhumane. Decent loving people are running out of words to describe this sick sad lying excuse for a human being,” Hollywood director Rob Reiner tweeted.

“First, you stoke hatred and fear of minorities. Then you round them up and put them in camps. Next, you send out raiding parties to get those who have been driven into hiding. The armbands come next right?” author Stephen King sarcastically tweeted.

The Hollywood left going after Trump is nothing new. This week, many would argue the president made it a little easier for them.
