Susan Sarandon endorsed Jill Stein in an open letter on the third-party candidate’s website on Tuesday, November 1, providing a long list of reasons why she can’t support Hillary Clinton.
“I’ve been waiting for any indication that Hillary Clinton’s position on the issues that are most urgent to me, has changed,” the 70-year-old actress began the letter. Ultimately, though, she said she just can’t get behind a litany of stances that the Democratic presidential nominee has taken.
“She does not support the $15 minimum wage,” Sarandon wrote. “She shows no support for legalizing marijuana; she has no position on the Dakota Access Pipeline; she opposes the breakup of big banks; she takes lobbyists’ money for campaigning; she supports unconditional military aid to Israel.”
Sarandon concluded that for her, “fear of Donald Trump is not enough for [her] to support Clinton, with her record of corruption.”
“Now that Trump is self-destructing, I feel even those in swing states have the opportunity to vote their conscience,” she concluded.
The Oscar winner was a vocal supporter of Bernie Sanders during the presidential primaries earlier this year, and even protested the Democratic National Convention alongside Sanders delegates who were upset at how the party had treated the senator.
In March, she made headlines after she suggested that Trump, 70, would “bring the revolution immediately” during an interview with MSNBC.
Scream Queens star Jamie Lee Curtis called her colleague out for her inflammatory comments via Twitter the next day. “I respect but disagree with @SusanSarandon,” the 57-year-old star wrote. “A possible support of Trump over @HillaryClinton is dangerous 2 women, minorities & immigrants.”
Sarandon responded very matter-of-factly, explaining that she hadn’t voiced her support for Trump at all. “Of course I would never support Trump for any reason,” she tweeted at Curtis. “If you watch the interview you’ll see that’s not what I said.”
