Danny DeVito: Sanders is 'our Obi Wan'
The Hill's Ballot Box Blog ^ | April 17, 2016 | Rebecca Savransky

Actor Danny DeVito on Sunday called Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders "our Obi Wan," referencing the Jedi master from "Star Wars."

"I just hugged the man who shook the hand of the Pope," DeVito said during a campaign rally for Sanders on Sunday when introducing the Vermont senator. (Sanders met the pope over the weekend, after speaking at a conference at the Vatican.)

"We are going to go out and vote and put this man on Pennsylvania Avenue. ... Ladies and gentlemen, we are here for a hometown boy," Devito said to an audience of more than 28,000 in Brooklyn's Prospect Park.

He then led the audience in a "Bernie" chant.

When Sanders began to walk on to the stage at the rally, DeVito gave him a welcoming introduction.

"He's coming, baby. Here he comes ... ladies and gentlemen, the next president of the United States — our Obi Wan."

Sanders campaigned in New York on Sunday ahead of the state's Tuesday primary.

Frank Reynolds: A woman in politics is like a donkey doing calculus.
Dee Reynolds: There are plenty of good women politicians.
Frank Reynolds: Name one.
Dee Reynolds: Um, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton
Frank Reynolds: Awful!
Dee Reynolds: How is she awful?
Frank Reynolds: Hates freedom.

Frank Reynolds: There is nothing more threatening to a man than a woman who is smart and attractive. We have to pretend you’re both!
Dee Reynolds: Wow, you’re a horrible father.

Danny’s a sweet and funny guy. But like just about all of Hollywood, he’s got a lot more money than active brain cells. A lot more...

Maybe he can explain that Coffee Commercial he is in with George Clooney, who happens to be a big Hillary Supporter.

He had better watch DeVito, he might Kneecap him with his mouth.

Danny DeVito has an estimated net worth of $70 to 80 million
I am betting he does not give up 1 dime of it. He wants everyone else to pay for socialism.

No way, man. Jake is actually the guy's name, and he did work for State Farm at one time.

Remember when the Clinton criminal cabal was renting out the Lincoln bedroom and this fat Hobbitt De Vito bragged about trashing it on national TV? That room is where the Emancipation proclamation was signed. Thats how much Democraps respect you black people.

The whole place was gutted and completely rebuilt during the Truman administration, but I know what you mean.
