Comedian Sarah Silverman took to the Democratic National Convention stage Monday night. She began her speech by addressing what galvanized her faith behind Senator Bernie Sanders. She later turned her attendion to supporting Democratic Nominee Hillary Clinton. However the mention of Bernie Sanders stirred the raucous crowd and many began to cheer the senator’s name repeatedly.
When the comedian tried to quell the volume of the crowd, she was met with further cheers for Sanders. She began to try to phrases like “Hillary” and “unity”. She then told the crowed this statement, “To the Bernie or Bust people, you’re being ridiculous.”
Watch here:

Ugh. Silverman is an awful comedian and has one of the most shrewd voices I’ve ever heard.
