Sarah Silverman: "To the Bernie or bust people, can I just say you're being ridiculous"

Calls Donald Trump emotionally immature, appeals to the Bernie people to support Hillary

Actress Sarah Silverman, addressing the Democratic National Convention with Comedian/US Sen. Al Franken:

Hi, I'm Al Franken, and I'm Sarah Silverman, and this past year I've been feeling the Bern! Relax, I put some cream on it.

Franken: You see Sarah is the comedian and I'm the politician.

Sarah Silverman: "Al, get out of my frame, (Laughter, Al Franken exits stage left)"

As some of you know I support Bernie Sanders and the movement behind him. He's succeeded in so many ways, he's already proven that Citizens United is not necessary. And I'm very proud that Hill has vowed to overturn it. My shrink says we don't get what we want, we get what we think we deserve
