Liberal actor Susan Sarandon said during an appearance on "The View" Wednesday that her decision to not support Hillary Clinton during the 2016 election caused Clinton supporters to harass her so much that she had to change her phone number.
Sarandon broke with the majority of Democrats in 2016 when she sharply criticized Clinton and chose to support two other liberal candidates. Her decision provoked intense backlash from Hillary supporters, and Sarandon said she responded to the backlash by changing her phone number, according to Newsbusters.
"The View" co-host Joy Behar noted that Sarandon took a lot of heat for supporting Sen. Bernie Sanders (I, Vt.) and voting for Green Party candidate Jill Stein in 2016.
"I had to change my phone number," Sarandon said, before imitating "the Hillary people" who were angrily contacting her.
"Are you happy now?" Sarandon said, mimicking seemingly disgruntled Clinton supporters.
Sarandon said she would have "ridden" the wave of angry calls out, but she was worried that Clinton supporters could use her phone number to hack other areas of her life.
"My sons explained to me that once they have your number, they can hack into everything," Sarandon said.
Behar also asked Sarandon to evaluate President Donald Trump's performance. "He's terrible," Sarandon responded.
But Sarandon has said that Trump might not be doing as badly on national security as Clinton would have done. Sarandon said in 2016 that Clinton was a greater threat to the United States' national security than Trump.
"I believe in a way she’s more dangerous," Sarandon said of Clinton while being interviewed on "The Young Turks" in June.
Sarandon also criticized Clinton during the 2016 presidential campaign and predicted the former secretary of state would be indicted for activity surrounding her private email server.
