Related: About this forumSusan Sarandon: Hillary Clinton “more dangerous” than Donald Trump
The prominent Bernie Sanders backer also predicted that a Hillary Clinton indictment was "inevitable"Actress Susan Sarandon says Hillary Clintons foreign policy makes her a greater national security risk than Donald Trump, adding that it's "inevitable" the White House hopeful will be indicted.
I believe in a way shes more dangerous, except theyre both talking to Henry Kissinger apparently lately, Sarandon told The Young Turks on Thursday.
Her record I mean, she did not learn a thing from Iraq. She is an interventionist. Shes done horrible things, horrible things, and very callously," she added.
I dont know if shes overcompensating or what her trip is. I think well be in Iran in two seconds. That scares me. That frightens me.
Sarandon, who supports Bernie Sanders for president, said Trumps ideas are too implausible to be dangerous.
This is what were fed hes so dangerous, hes so dangerous, she said. "Seriously, Im not worried about a wall being built and Mexico paying for it.
Hes not going to get rid of every Muslim living in this country. Has he made it the norm to be racist and vent these kinds of things? Yes. But seriously, I dont know what his policies are."
On the other hand, Sarandon said, Clinton's record on foreign policy is cause for alarm.
I do know what her policies are. I do know where shes taking money from. And I do know that shes not transparent and I know that nobody calls her on it.
Sarandon predicted in a separate interview that Clinton will ultimately face indictment for her use of a private email server while secretary of State.
Nobodys even talking about this indictment, she told MSNBC. "What happens with that, besides the trust issue of catching her in so many lies?
Well, there has been no indictment, Chris Jansing responded.
No, but theres going to be, responded Sarandon. "I mean, its inevitable."

Clinton is deadly dangerous and has the record to prove it. Trump is a wildcard.

If the party has become so corrupt that it needs to start over, so be it.

she's even more dillusional than I thought.

Glad she is on Bernie's side.
And I like that she speaks plainly and convincingly.
She's not a looney toon. She is serious and well spoken.
