[cheering] she is actually dedicated her life now to talking about that. and now, as a campaign strategy, we are being bullied. and somehow that is okay and not talked about with -- that it needs to. andrea: sanders refusing to condemn the remarks, defending dawson's speech yesterday. >> rosario is a great actress and she is doing a great job for us. she has been a passionate fighter to see we increase voter turnout. our job right now is the contrast our views compared to secretary clinton. that is what a campaign is b what i will be doing in this campaign is an issue oriented way, not by personal attacks but by contra

[cheers and applause] lee: rosario dawson, give it up! that is a hard act to follow. i am a filmmaker. ask a question. was rosario dropping science? science.ropping i'm glad we are all out here to support our guy, bernie from brooklyn. bk, where are you at? is brooklyn in the house? don't hate. it is all love. it is all love. look, we all know that this thing is rigged. they don't want to see us together. say it again. at?e is obama obama! face to the crowd. dead ringer. i thought that was him for sure. it separatet let us. this is the great thing about new york city, diversity. look around. this is what makes us the greatest city on earth. bronx, home of the world series champion new york yankees. unifies. unify. anyway. have you ever seen the three-car money? you can't win? it's the flimflam, the okie , hijinks,recruit shenanigans. we can't go for that. everybody has to register to vote. we have to vote. and we have to talk to our parents. generation, they are on this clinton thing and we got to talk to our older parents and get their mind right. it's great to be her

and i think rosario dawson got off topic a little. >> this is bernie sanders intentionally stayed awayow, there has been this element of sanders supporters, the bernie bros who have been bullying and harassing clinton supporters. jake tapper asked him about that. >> have you heard about this phenomenon, bernie bros, people who support you and sometimes attack in very crude and. >> yes, i have heard about it. we don't want that crap. you know, we will do everything we can and i think we have tried. look, you know, anybody who was supporting me is doing sexist things is, we don't want them. >> you think this reference by rosario dawson deserves a condemnation? >> no, the bernie bros has been really quite crude, and quite specific, and you know, really unquestionably over the top. where, you know, you're threatening to go after people and find them and criticize them to their face and all of this kind of stuff. i think what's going on here, and it's an understandable frustration, victor, bernie sanders is not performing as well as his supporters might have hoped. he has called, he, sander

he spoke alongside director spike lee and actress rosario dawson.e is known for many films as well as "rent." i caught up with dawson after the rally. i began by asking her why she supports bernie sanders. >> i'm supporting bernie sanders because he says no to fracking. i'm supporting bernie sanders because we do need a single-payer healthcare system that takes care of everyone. and that is not a pipe dream. that's that's happening all over the world and in really positive ways. we are a social democracy. that's our firefighters, that's our policemen. and it shouldn't be drawing a line, that's -- you know, a fireman will go into your house to take your hard drive out and save your cat, but if you break your leg, screw you. that doesn't make any sense, you know? and when you actually go and you travel around the world and you start recognizing that people can actually be sick, they can take -- you know, have a broken leg and not lose their job and lose their livelihoods and lose their homes over it, that's really important. you know, free college, un

now rosario dawson bringing up monica lewinsky and a clumsy analogy about bullying.omething that the campaign would be behind jo. >> those are complete distractions. in a campaign you have many people who step forward on your behalf. they come out with some things that go off track. hopefully everything i say will be on track, because i do believe that this is a conversation about so many important issues. we have an american citizenry that for the last four decades only one out of ten americans has benefited from the increase in income in america. that means nine out of ten americans have been left out in the cold. how are we going to change that? how are we going restore a program of construction of the infrastructure. >> i get what the problem, whether republican or democrat. the problems seem to be similar, but is it a coincidence the surkitts said thi-- surrogates s inflammatory things or is this the good cop/bad cop situation coming out of the sanders' campaign? >> no. this is individuals going off track on their own. that's not helpful to the campaign, and it'

why not rosario dawson? is it because he's seeing the end of the line or wants to gain momentum or why? >> maybe the standard is obscenity. no obscenity issues, he doesn't condemn. i don't know. you'll have to ask bernie sanders for more information. >> he does say that the debates have taken on weekdays or weekends when not many people are watching and the democratic party was always against him. he is the outside candidate. and this whole process hasn't been fair to him. is it sour grapes or does what he say -- what he says have a kernel of trooubl truuth? >> he's on firmer ground there, carol. from the very beginning the democratic party knew they wanted hillary clinton to be the nominee. this was back when there were five cappndidates for president. i don't think it was so much anti-bernie sanders as it was pro-hillary clinton. they were scheduled to fit the desires of the clinton campaign team rather than help sanders or any of the other candidates. >> bernie sanders has a point there. he doesn't think

rosario dawson will co-headline a rally with susan sarandon.alked to me about the infighting that's been going on within both parties and how it's affecting the voting population. >> every four years, we have a presidential election. and half the country feels like they lost and have been robbed and for the next four years sitting in the corner feeling sour about it. some people are going out of their way to stop, curb, and hurt any progress being made by that presidential candidate. we can't keep doing that. >> actress and activist rosario dawson after i presented her with the latino award. >>> can cruz keep appealing to voters outside the city limits? i think we should've taken a left at the river. tarzan know where tarzan go! tarzan does not know where tarzan go. hey, excuse me, do y know where the waterfall is? waterfall? no, me tarzan, king of jungle. why don't you want to just ask somebody? if you're a couple, you fight over directions. it's what you do. if you want to save fifteen rcent or more on car insurance, you switch to geico. oh o

so they're essentially out there stating the facts and rosario dawson is claim they're being bullied.t's not true, and linking monica lewinski in now the only continuation is to bring updrags from the '90 and something that has not brought the clintons down. >> if this a legitimate dreg? trump was called a misogynist and what she is saying is, i don't know if i'd go there you would say what? >> i don't know if i'd go there and i'm spreads with the democrat doing something. this is something hillary clinton is aware is an issue. >> -- wishing will almost assuredly maybe it. >> if it's donald trump it's going to be there on day one. >> what should her response be? >> what her response should be is that she has sympathy for monica lewinski and has spoken in this effect. hillary clinton did play role in what went on in the 1990s but being punished for the sins of her husband which is unfair -- >> but can't have itself both ways. you can't grab what you like about your husband, hi mixture hope and then ignore stuff that wasn't so messant. >> i think she is a very difficult line to toe here

>> rosario dawson is showing up at all the different rallies, you know the old dude has the hots forer. no makeup. dresses like she doesn't care. kennedy: but still really pretty. >> so pretty. >> and giving it to hillary clinton too, pulled out the monica lewinsky and boom, dropped that on her. kennedy: was that necessary? >> you know what, if you're rosario dawson, she's doing bernie's dirty work for him. >> she brought up monica saying what? >> that the bullying, they were bullying bernie the way that the clintons bullied monica. kennedy: i guess you could make the argument. >> if that's a bully, i'm a bully. kennedy: if someone is doing something to your husband where his bathing suit covers, all bets are off. you can use any retribution to right that wrong. >> it's not bullying when you did something despicable. it's getting back. >> monica lewinsky is on twitter making jokes about beyonce's "lemonade." i do not need that either. kennedy: exactly right, meghan mccain. monica lewinsky, flow your rolls, sister. speaking of beyonce, unexpected spotlight shone upon her from "lemonad

spike lee, tim robbins and rosario dawson is expected security will be tight. the secret service has requested that the park is closed all day. sanders hopes the message will resonate loudly for him to win in new york. >> in midtown she spoke about the importance for equal pay for women. he is still smarting from the fact that colorado awarded the delegates to ted cruz without holding a primary or a caucus corrects the republican national committee should be ashamed of themselves for allowing this kind of crap to happen. >> crew says trump is just whining. matzo bakery tried to distance himself between trumpet and cruise.>> i will not low rose to the highest office in the land . >> paul lyon paul ryan says he will not take any road. some suspect that he could become the 11th hour kennedy and"secure the nomination at the convention. he put the speculation to rest. >> i believe that you should only choose from a person who is actually participated in the primary. count me out. >> even though test ted cruz is born in canada he is eligible to run in the garden stat

let's listen here to something that rosario dawson, a sanders surrogate had to say about a clinton super>> we are really fending four or selves right now. we are literally under attack for not just supporting the other candidate. now i'm with monica lewinsky with this. bullying is bad. she is actually dedicated her life now to talking about that. and now, as a campaign strategy, we are being bullied. >> what was your initial reaction to her invoking monica lewinsky's name there? >> well, i don't know if it was the best idea to invoke monica's name, but this idea that somehow that those of us who support bernie sanders and have been apart of this movement that we are somehow obligated to support secretary clinton, if she ends up winning the nomination, it really is sort of disrespectful and misunderstands the bernie sanders movement totally. it miss understands why we're involved in the process. if she wants our support, she has to come out and get it, and she has to show she wants it, instead of the condescending things going on. >> do you think bernie sanders' campaign should respond to

one of your high profile surrogates actress rosario dawson invoked monica lewinsky at one of your rallies. do you think it's appropriate to be talking to monica lewinsky on the campaign trail in rosario is a great actress and a passionate fighter to see the voter turnout, racial, economic environmental justice. what our job right now is to contrast our views compared to secretary clinton. that's what a campaign is about. my own view is we should break up the large financial institutions on wall street. i'm posed to fracking and by the way we just won a good victory in new york state the other day, major fracking program has been killed. i think we have got to ask the wealthy and large corporations to start paying their fair share of taxes. what i will be doing in this campaign is an issue-oriented way, not by personal attacks. >> right, but that's -- >> -- but by contrasting our view to hillary clinton. >> yes or no should your surrogates be talking about monica lewinsky. >> i have no idea in what context row saria was talking about her. i hope all of our people focus on the real issues f
