Legendary actor Susan Sarandon said if Hillary Clinton had won last year's US Presidential Elections, the US would be in war zone today.
In an interview with The Guardian, the 71-year-old actor said she still sticks to her comment on the Democrat representative, when she said Clinton was more "dangerous" than current US President, Donald Trump.
"Not exactly, but I don't mind that quote...
"I did think she (Clinton) was very, very dangerous. We would still be fracking, we would be at war (if she was president). It wouldn't be much smoother," Sarandon said.
Indirectly defending Trump on the charge of deporting immigrants, the "Feud: Bette and Joan" star took on former POTUS Barack Obama, saying he did the same but "sneakily".
"Look what happened under Obama that we didn't notice. She would've done it the way Obama did it, which was sneakily. He deported more people than have been deported now. How he got the Nobel peace prize I don't know.
"I think it was very important to have a black family in the White House and I think some of the stuff he did was good. He tried really hard about healthcare. But he didn't go all the way because of big pharma," she said.
