Susan Sarandon takes shot at Elizabeth Warren at Bernie Sanders event

Oscar-winning actress and activist Susan Sarandon appeared to take a shot at Elizabeth Warren on Monday during a Bernie Sanders presidential campaign event in Iowa.

“He is not someone who used to be a Republican,” Sarandon told the crowd during her introduction of Sanders, where she also listed progressive issues long-supported by the Vermont Senator, according to Politico reporter Holly Otterbein.

Sarandon, a Bernie-supporter, didn’t mention Warren by name, but the Massachusetts Senator was a registered Republican in the mid 1990s.

“I was a Republican because I thought that those were the people who best supported markets,” Warren told Politico in 2011. “I think that is not true anymore.”

“I was a Republican at a time when I felt like there was a problem that the markets were under a lot more strain. It worried me whether or not the government played too activist a role.”

Sens. Warren and Sanders — two liberal favorites — have been polling toward the top of the crowded Democratic presidential primary field.

One national poll released last week by The Economist/YouGov showed Warren coming in at second with 20 percent, while Sanders was close behind at 16 percent. Former Vice President Joe Biden topped that poll with 21 percent support.

Review: Animated ‘Chance’ takes on dog fighting with overly earnest yet well-intended spirit

The CG animated feature “Chance” is a well-intended but heavy-handed denunciation of the barbaric blood sport of dog fighting.

Convicted rapist killer strikes again after getting out of jail

A convicted rapist killer who strangled a teen in 1981 and was suspected of cutting out the eyes out of an earlier victim has been arrested on a new rape charge, six years after he got out of jail. Christopher “Crazy Chris” Aniades, 62, is being held on an attempted forcible rape charge after he allegedly attacked the victim, according to the city Department of Correction. He’s being held at the Eric. M Taylor Center in Queens on first degree attempted rape, according to the city Department of Correction website.
