Susan Sarandon Claims She Was Denied Security Clearance to White House

Susan Sarandon, in case you haven’t heard, is a liberal, and she’s not ashamed share her frequently unpopular thoughts and opinions with the world. During a 75-minute chat sponsored by the Tribeca Film Festival, the “Thelma & Louise” star admitted that she was denied security clearance at the White House. However, anyone who’s kept up with Sarandon shouldn’t be overly surprised by this news. Politically speaking, she’s really not that well liked, particularly since she isn’t above speaking her mind regarding extremely sensitive matters.

During the conversation — which included controversial documentary filmmaker Michael Moore — an audience member asked if the pair thought they were being watched by the government. Sarandon was extremely quick to point out that she had, in fact, acquired her file courtesy of the Freedom of Information Act. Regarding the security clearance issue, the actress said she had no idea why she wasn’t allowed access to the White House.

Sarandon also claims that the government hacked and tapped her phone, an accusation that was mirrored by Moore.

As you can tell by the Twitter comments below, the only person who seems genuinely perplexed about the security issue is Sarandon. What do you think about Sarandon’s remarks? Is she dangerous enough to be prevented from setting foot inside the White House? Let us know in the comments section.

    It is truly depressing to read some of these responses. To disagree with another person’s political beliefs is one thing, but to use that as a justification to expose one’s childish vulgarity and intolerance of others’ free speech rights is just disgusting.

    That bimbo and her X old man are both a couple of subversive commie pinko’s. Obamas’ got enough problems trying to get re-elected without admitting someone to the White House who is even more of a leftist (if that’s possiable) than he is.

    I do not know of any die-hard liberals that are not in favor of bigger and stronger government so “Ma Government” can offer an “utter” of subsistence to anyone wily enough to latch on to it. Government control comes in many forms and holds many consequences when ANY freedoms are forfeited for personal security . . . . maybe Ms. Sarandon can now open her eyes to what conservatives have preached for many years . . . probably not !!

    Susan is an excellent movie star but I think she needs to keep quiet about her politics. Look what happened when Oprah supported Obama openly?! We got a real loser for that office. These TV and movie stars don’t live in “our world” and should stay out of it with their opinions.

    Well not much has changed in Hollywood as far as the Govt is concerned. Remember ( many wont ) the “blacklisting” of decades ago. You really dont think that they stopped that practice did you? When you have public figures such as actors and actress that hold alot of regard in the public eye ( not for me but for many) and their personal political viewpoints carry alot of power- of course the Govt is going to watch and be concerned, especially with people like Moore and Sarandon and especially from the Democratic party where they are a bit more visual and vocal about their stand. Sadly the Republicans ( and I have voted both tickets in the past so I dont support solely 1 party) recently have Ted Nugent as their current poster child ( i feel for the repubs now) but the celebs have never fully been taken off the polical radar.

They can bash and sya whatever they please about whomever they please, but OOHHHH, don’t you DARE say anything wrong about them or their kind. That’s a protest waiting to happen. What a fikkin’ joke. Try that crap in ANY other country, and see if you don’t have your a$$ handed to you. These people take ADVANTAGE of their freedom. Sorry a$$e$.

When you put a political slant on your news coverage, it ceases to be news coverage. It is just the fake news, just like Fox news. Why don’t all you republicans go away. Just go find an island somewhere where you can be as ignorant and backwards and greedy and war-mongering as you like, while leaving decent people, meaning people who DO have a heart and a soul and a conscience, alone?

      and others that we must chop there heads off.You really think that Ted Nugent has first amendment right to say that? I don’t think so.Ted Nugent just has hate for President Obama and others
      and that just plain wrong.After reading Susan S story here another question for you Pamela.Do you really think without proper ID that Susan S should have been allow into the White
      House? Of course not.Remember Pamela,there things know as rules

    I was at the seminar yesterday. It was well conducted and informative. Of course Democratic ideals were stressed…do not Republicans do the same in their arenas? Michael Moore suggested that there were other pressing issues which needed to be investigated, those being 1. our schools and 2. immigration reform.

    Hopefully he is working on both, for they are intimately related. As a teacher and a registered Democrat, I find myself questioning which way to vote come November. HELP!!!!!

      Well if you want to lose all your civil rights and move to a police state with corporations having free reign then vote Republican.
      If you want women’s rights to be non-existent then vote Republican.
      If you want to get rid of Medicare and Social Security then vote Republican.
      Even if you are unhappy with Obama because he keeps governing like an old school Republican such as Reagan, you need to vote for him to keep the Supreme Court from becoming even more extreme right wing and activist. Remember, they were the ones who appointed Bush pResident and who are responsible for Citizens United decision which completely eroded the meaning of democracy.

        Interesting deduction regarding the 2000 election.

        I was under the impression that Florida, with its then Republican Governor, and then 67% Republican majority, and its status as the No 3 state to carry out the death penalty, was in fact a more logical choice for the Republican candidate to win rather than the Democratic candiate.

  30. I don’t know of any reason sufficient for Ms. Sarandon to be denied a White House security clearance. There is not enough information to make a satisfactory guess. I doubt that it has anything to do with her film career. She has a right to free speech like all Americans, and I have not heard anything she has said that is threatening. She was kind and gracious to chat with a friend and me after a brilliant performance of Agnes of God in 1984 or maybe ’83 at Ohio University. She almost went out with us, until she decided I was the wingman for my male friend, but she was nice and beautiful, and her performance was brilliant. It made me cry.

      Susan Sarandon is the type of liberal who gives liberals a bad name. She is intolerant of any opinions contrary to her own, and believes her status as a celebrity entitles her to constantly force her opinions upon the public. These attitudes appear to be the norm among celebrity liberals. It is these “qualities” of hers and her like-minded celebrities that I take issue with.

      To your point about White people not being allowed to speak their minds: I am in complete agreement with you.

          Clearly you do not know the first thing about what a conservative person believes in. I am a highly educated woman who also happens to be a conservative. I am also married, raise children, and work a full time job. I have also served my country with distinction in the active duty Air Force. I believe in the freedom of speech, even for ignorant people such as yourself. It is people like you who give liberals a bad name. Conservative people tend to be just that…CONSERVATIVE! We do not (often) feel the need to scream our opinions and tell everyone who doesn’t agree with them that they are stupid or morons. We leave the loud mouth, obnoxious behavior to you. As for Susan Sarandon, she has a right to her opinions, but just because she is an actress does not grant her the automatic right to the White House or a public pulpit. This country is falling apart, because people are listening to the political opinions of celebrities rather then seeking the facts for themselves. She’s a phenomenal actress, but her opinions are irrelevant.
