Hillary Clinton offers Bernie Sanders “opportunity” to walk back Susan Sarandon’s lunacy [View all]
After Bernie Sanders campaign surrogate Susan Sarandon went on national television and suggested she’d rather see Donald Trump become President than Hillary Clinton, the surreal remark turned her name into a trending topic punchline on Twitter. She suggested that Trump would “bring the revolution immediately” among other extremist views. The Clinton campaign is responding in more measured manner, publicly asking Sanders whether he wants to walk back Sarandon’s nonsense.
The Clinton spokesman appeared on MSNBC and referred to Susan Sarandon’s comments as “peculiar” but offered to give the Sanders campaign the “benefit of the doubt” and the “opportunity” to walk back her extremist remarks: “Not every surrogate that goes out and speaks on behalf of a campaign actually reflects the views of the candidate.”

Not a fan of the Daily News Bin but I saw a few Hillary supporters on twitter trying very hard to get this story out there on #Bernie (now in the top 10) and so I thought that I'd help them out.
So why should Bernie explain anything for Susan Sarandon? She is in charge of her own words - not him. And I'm surprised at the Clinton campaign for expecting Bernie to speak for Sarandon. Surely they don't think that Susan needs Bernie to speak for her?
