Leftists have been raking actress Susan Sarandon over the coals on social media in the wake of the leaked Supreme Court decision signaling that Roe v. Wade could be overturned.
Susan Sarandon became persona non grata in leftist circles during the 2016 election when she refused to endorse Hillary Clinton and remained steadfast in her stance against the Democrat establishment.
“It wasn’t a protest vote. Following Bernie wasn’t a protest.” she told The Guardian. “Well, I knew that New York was going to go [for Hillary]. It was probably the easiest place to vote for Stein. Bringing attention to working-class issues is not a luxury. People are really hurting; that’s how this guy got in. What we should be discussing is not the election, but how we got to the point where Trump was the answer.”
“I did think she was very, very dangerous. We would still be fracking, we would be at war [if she was president]. It wouldn’t be much smoother. Look what happened under Obama that we didn’t notice,” she added.
Now that the fruits of former President Trump’s three Supreme Court picks appear to have come to fruition with the latest document leak that could mean the end of Roe, Sarandon’s name began to trend on Twitter once again as leftists blamed her for the situation.
Sarandon’s name began to trend when she blasted Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) for using the leaked document as get-out-the-vote rallying cry in the mid-terms.
“There is one and only one way to preserve #RoeVWade and protect a women’s right to choose and that’s to #VoteBlueIn2022,” tweeted Swalwell.
“A lot of good that did in 2020. Dems are going to use this to fundraise and get you to vote for them again despite sitting on their hands for the last two years. Instead of actually standing for anything, their only strategy is scaring you into voting blue,” she responded.
“Can everyone all at once tell @SusanSarandon to sit this one out? She’s caused enough trouble. Us real progressives will take it from here,” he replied.

Funny, it's passed the house. Already been voted for once in the Senate. Seems as if it's the Republikkkans that are blocking it.

THIS was the legacy @BernieSanders wanted to leave behind. A hearty f*ck you to @SusanSarandon and all the other selfish pricks who just couldn’t vote for Hillary in 2016 and encouraged others to not vote for her, too. https://t.co/4Byf6UibKu

They passed abortion protections in the House already. The filibuster and a "Dem" Senator with a history or being anti-choice is stopping them from passing it in the Senate.
The gop are literally killing Constitutional Rights but those bad Dems are responsible.

for those attacking susan sarandon right now: look, we can all agree with the benefit of hindsight that bull durham does not hold up BUT ALSO that susan sarandon was super hot in it.

I supported for Hillary Clinton over Trump in general election, but people blaming Susan Sarandon right now for Roe are living in a world of delusion. Hillary backers in primary said she would definitely beat Trump – YOU were wrong. YOU cost us the election and the Supreme Court!

Rather than yelling at Susan Sarandon, perhaps US Democrats would like to hold their own party accountable for the opportunities they squandered (RBG retiring under Obama, supporting progressive candidates in primaries, enshrining abortion in federal law) to protect Roe vs Wade.

For her part, Sarandon used the attacks as further fuel to blast the Democrat establishment.
.@RepSwalwell please explain how exactly voting blue “preserved and protected” #RoeVWade in 2012 when Obama had control of Congress, promised to codify Roe v. Wade, and then didn’t.
Since you’re asking voters to #VoteBlueIn2022, show them the receipts. What’s your plan? https://t.co/h1LlzjGiLS pic.twitter.com/ZYqmSrpwwc

Dems have the House.
Dems have the Senate.
Dems have the White House.They can abolish the filibuster and codify #RoeVWade RIGHT NOW!
Maybe some of you vote-shaming keyboard activists should get outside and use your energy to actually hold them accountable.
