Jessica Williams Interviews Sanders Supporters Voting For Donald Trump

The field piece that followed was classic Jessica Williams. “After an impassioned Democratic primary between the Curb Your Enthusiasm guy and the Mother of Dragons, the voting is finally over,” she said. “With Hillary Clinton as their nominee, the Democratic Party has united without controversy. J.K., y’all. I’m ****ing with you!”

With that, the show cut to Williams calling out a surprisingly diverse group of Sanders voters for saying that they will vote for Trump despite his status as “a bigot and a racist.” By contrast, the group views Hillary Clinton as a “stack of garbage.”

“I don’t get it,” Williams said. “How do you go from a left-wing progressive like Bernie to a man who worships money only slightly less than he worships himself?” Asked what Sanders and Trump have in common, the best they could up with was, “They both want to be president.” As Williams explained to them, “They are literally opposite people.”

Surprised they didn't say they're both anti-establishment or whatevs.

Yeah. Even though that's still incorrect given Trump is still establishment as it gets.

Why don't they just vote for Johnson? Why Trump?

I don't understand how the **** anyone jumps from Bernie to Trump... I understand the feelings of disappointment and the feeling that Hillary doesn't really represent a lot of core issues that Sanders supporters care about, but surely you either go "**** it, I'll vote for someone like Jill Stein who I think represents my values better" or you go "**** it, out of the two people who have a chance of winning, Hillary is the closest to my progressive values. I'm with her".

Trump is just on the other end of the political spectrum and is not at all a populist despite what some have been saying
