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....

In fairness, I think she is pretty

Meh - I see a plain woman with some flattering makeup. But her looks wouldn't matter if she was just even a little funny.

Almost single-handedly ruined “School of Rock”

[deadrock]

Pretty much what I said. And I agree.

Have you ever seen a close up? She’s hairier than Baba Booey on the old Howard Stern show

[EinNYC]

TOTAL bunch of brain dead LOSERS. All they can do is parrot talking points they’ve been fed and lies they’ve taken unto their breasts unchallenged. Such stupid uncritical people scare the heck out of me.

[No_More_Harkin]

I second that. She is a real piece of work. The devils handyman would fit.
During Bush II she said some horrible things. Send her to Palestine!

“Have you ever seen a close up? She’s hairier than Baba Booey on the old Howard Stern show”

She might be taking the Janeane Garofalo path and going grunge.

She was in a movie, “Take This Waltz” (2011), which has a very nice shower scene. She didn’t look bad at all then.

But I don’t follow her career or opinions. She pegs the psycho meter. No thanks. She’s just eye candy.

Hell must have gotten some of John Kerry’s wicked air conditioning cause that meshungina ain’t no ways hot.

[crazydad]

I concur. Always thought she was beautiful. But her personality and actions make her ugly.

[Impy]

I had the same thought. ;d

[StAnDeliver]

Wonder if she will resurrect her blackface act for Philly...

[StAnDeliver]

[trebb]

That’ll win ‘em over....

REPUBLICAN CONVENTION !!

I see the MSM got the memo from the DNC.

I'm surprised Silverman didn't devote her speech to making jokes about her menstrual flow or allusions to her sex toys, which is what passes for "comedy" these days.

How this repulsive, juvenile, foul-mouthed creature came to be seen as a brilliant and edgy cultural icon remains a mystery to me. Sarah Silverman is thoroughly repulsive even by the very low standards set by today's mass culture.

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

Yeah, go piss off a bunch of already foaming-at-the-mouth Bernie fans, there’s a smart idea. It’s stupid if you’re a DemonRat, I think it’s great.

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

Yeah, I can’t believe this loser still has an audience. Like Whoopi Goldberg, her career is bottoming out in slow-motion because the Hollywood libs don’t realize how repelling she is.
