Sarah Silverman just ripped into fellow Bernie Sanders supporters: ‘You’re being ridiculous!’

After a day full of tensions between Bernie Sanders supporters and the Democratic Party, the first few hours of the party's convention on Monday featured plenty of distractions, and things seemed to be moving forward.

Then Sarah Silverman showed up.

The comedian was a Sanders supporter in the primary, and she came to the stage with Clinton supporter and fellow "Saturday Night Live" alum, Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.). It was a good idea in theory: Two comedians trying to bring some levity to the situation and defuse it with humor.

But feelings were still raw. Silverman argued for unity and gave a generally well-received speech, but Sanders supporters weren't happy, and they began making their voices heard.

Silverman tried to make jokes. She noted that Clinton, who was most recently secretary of state, "was a secretary, and now she's going to be president." The crowd got louder....

230 million dollars he took from those suckers!

I used to find Sarah Silverman very attractive...until she opened her mouth.

You mean to speak, yes? /devilish humor

They look like the walking dead before they turned.

She's referred to as a comedian, when in fact, she is one of the vilest women I've ever seen attempting humor. She's right down there in my estimation like Janeane Garofalo. Strictly bottom of the barrel leftists.

...

Same here. But her voice is irritating and she has a cesspool of sewage between her ears.

[2ndDivisionVet]

Don't watch The Aristocrats then.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

She’s horrible.

[al baby]

Me too

Who, Franken? I agree :)

I’ve hated that #### for so long I’ve forgotten.

Liberal since forever and NEVER funny, at least not to me.

Dennis Miller much funnier.

[dp0622]

lol. Guess he doesn’t care how much gas it burns.

One does have to get around, after all.

Maybe he and Leonardo will meet in the skies.

[deadrock]

She ain’t pretty, she just looks that way.

[boycott]

How could they have that trash talking vile woman on the stage?

[paul544]

I think you answered your own question....

[AmericanMermaid]

I would send a donation just to get them out of our country.

[Stepan12]

So what if she was? Have you ever seen her routine and the absolutely foul things that come out of her mouth? I can’t see this bothering her.

[Stepan12]

In fairness, I think she is pretty until she opens her mouth and especially when she gives political opinions.

[Snowybear]

You took the words right out of my keyboard.

...Franken and Silverman had also run out of material and were being asked to stretch their segment due to a problem with musical guest Paul Simon's organ.

And then Silverman said this: "To the Bernie-or-bust people, let me just tell you: You’re being ridiculous."

A left-wing Hollywood nitwit sneers at left-wingers for a change - must have been quite a shock to Bernie's followers, who never expect left-wing smugness to be aimed at left-wingers.
