No Cheech?
Via WACH:
Sen. Bernie Sanders (D- Vermont) just picked up a high-profile endorsement.
Comedian Tommy Chong, of the “Cheech and Chong” franchise, announced his support for Sanders as the next “commander in kush” on CNN with Brooke Baldwin.
Chong has long been an advocate of legalizing marijuana.
“A lot of people knock him, because he’s older than the rest, but he’s at the age where the only thing that matters is the people,” Chong said.
The comedian said of both parties, Sanders was the most qualified for the job.
“He will improve on Obamacare. He will improve on everything that deals with the middle class.”
Calling Donald Trump supporters mostly “racist Americans,” Chong compared Bernie’s popularity with that of the Republican front-runner.
In contrast, Chong described Sanders’ young supporters as people “who are turned on… very hip people.”
“Bernie is Donald Trump with brains… he’s like a Donald Trump with soul,” he said.
“Bernie’s my man.”
