The Bernie Sanders campaign is feeling the burn from Guam Delegate Madeleine Bordallo who took exception to a campaign monologue by actor Tim Robbins as he introduced the candidate at a rally in Wisconsin.

Robbins, on the eve of the Wisconsin primary election in the race for president, said "winning South Carolina in a Democratic primary is about as significant as winning in Guam" as he introduced Sanders in Green Bay. Robbins was referring to Clinton's victory over Sanders in South Carolina.

“I am deeply disappointed by remarks made today by Tim Robbins at a campaign rally for Sen. Bernie Sanders that used the inability of the people of Guam to vote for president as a political punch line," Bordallo said. "These remarks are an insult to our community and they trivialize the disenfranchisement of our people in selecting our president. As a candidate for president of the United States, Sen. Sanders and his campaign should be working to be inclusive of all Americans, regardless of where they live."


Bordallo added, "The people of Guam are patriotic Americans; our men and women have and continue to volunteer in large numbers to serve in our armed forces, but apparently their voice doesn't matter as much to the Sanders campaign."

In her denouncement of Robbins' remarks, Bordallo, a former first lady of Guam, used the opportunity to endorse the former first lady of the United States.

Guam has either 11 or 12 delegates to the DNC convention. I wonder how many delegates Tim Robbins cost the Sanders campaign.

3. Thank you for this. I'm glad Robbins is getting

called out for his ridiculous comments.

[geek tragedy]

4. oh, you knew this headline was coming, only question of who the name would be

Having clueless privileged Hollywood dolts acting as surrogates, maybe not a great idea.

[Lucinda]

5. I dont understand how you can be an activist and so incredibly

informed at the same time...but they manage it!

[geek tragedy]

6. Like many Nader supporters--especially in Hollywood--Robbins

and his partner in clueless white privilege Susan Sarandon--is a classic narcissist who has giant blind spots where the rest of humanity is concerned.

11. Sad to say it seems that way. What is that saying...?

"I can give you the facts, but I can't make you understand them." It really seems to apply to these people.

I get that we are wired differently and that people dont all view the same thing in the same way...but when you have to twist yourself into pretzel form (Sarandon and Robbins supporting Edwards yet criticizing Hillary for her IWR vote, even though her comments were measured and over 2000k of her constituents had been murdered) then you just start looking really stupid.

I think everyone has the right to support their candidates, but they shouldnt be surprised to be called out when they are clearly clueless.

7. Maybe they can ban any of his movies from Guam. Meanwhile I'll still vote for Bernie Sanders.

8. Bull Durham is a great film, though he gets less credit for his acting as Nuke LaLoosh

now that it turns out he really is kind of limited.

10. You are entitled to your opinion. Have no reason to agree with you.

9. All of them, hopefully. But Sanders will have berned out long before then.
