Sean Penn: If Voters 'Are Paying Attention,' They Will Elect a Dem in 2020
NewsBusters ^ | September. 13. 2019 | Scott Whitlock

Well known liberal celebrity Sean Penn appeared on a post-debate episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live, Thursday, to lecture Americans on their choice for 2020. The actor condescended, “If people truly want to vote against their own interests, [Trump will] be the president of the United States again.”

However, “But if they are paying attention, there are talented people in the group we saw tonight.” Regarding Trump’s leadership, Penn saw it only going in negative directions: “And we've seen the potential of a president, for example the current president, to lead us to El Paso and to lead us to all kinds of enhanced hatred and anger and separation.”

Host Kimmel, also a liberal celebrity, prompted Penn on when he started voting. After mentioning Cater, Penn reminisced, “Yeah, that was what [author Douglas] Brinkley called an unfinished presidency. I liked Jimmy Carter a lot. I don't remember whether I voted in that election.”

Penn is known for his over-the-top political commentary. In September 2016, he said that Americans could Vote for Hillary Clinton or “masturbate our way into hell” with Trump.

It will solve all your future voting problems since you won’t have a choice to make thereafter.

It’s not a question of voters paying attention but the DC elite not listening to voters. PDJT was backlash to 8 years of voter-ignoring oppression under lawless Obama imo.

I don’t think Penn is saying that. I think it’s his mustache.

If by “voting” you mean escorting one or more of them up the steps to the gallows, then yeah, maybe so...….

Seriously Penn is not going to win anyone over in the states that matter.

I am so happy the Democrats have gone full squad. Moderate Democratic voters (not the loonies that show up for the debates) are not attracted to this.

Exactly. Never once bothering to explain to me why it's "in my best interest" to give total control of my life, liberty and property over to a bunch of overbearing, self-important busybodies.
