Actress Susan Sarandon, a vocal Bernie Sanders supporter during the primaries, isn't following his lead by supporting his former rival, Hillary Clinton.

Instead, Sarandon has endorsed Jill Stein, the Green Party candidate. In a letter posted to Stein's website on Monday, Sarandon wrote that "fear of Donald Trump is not enough for me to support Clinton, with her record of corruption. Now that Trump is self-destructing, I feel even those in swing states have the opportunity to vote their conscience."
