SAN FRANCISCO — Actor and activist Sean Penntold an audience of security geeks Friday that "the defecation on America that is the Republican debate" is making him nostalgic for President George W. Bush, something he finds amazing.
Penn spoke on the final day of the RSA computer security conference, an annual event that was especially newsy this year due to the ongoing battle between Apple and the FBI.
He was asked by RSA program chair Hugh Thompson who he backed in this year’s presidential election.
Penn grimaced, then said maybe he’s simply not being democratic enough in how he thinks about the election because he's clearly not taking into account "the true interests of my fellow Americans."
“So many of them truly want to hate each other, want to bottom out their community so they can rise up in it, want to really devastate the rest of the world and maybe get into a civil war,” he said.
If that is what the mass of Americans want, “I’m going to have to consider Trump-Cruz,” he said.
As to his actual ballot, Penn was straightforward.
“I think Bernie Sanders is an exceptional American, and I’m going to vote for Hillary Clinton,” he said to applause from the audience.
