Russell Simmons Endorses Hillary Because We Have To Eat Plants Or We All Will Die

Russell Simmons is a “hip-hop media mogul” (maybe that’s on his business card) and I guess his endorsement carries some weight because CNN reported it like it was breaking news.

But that’s where any semblance of normalcy or reality ends because Russell Simmons is crazy.

In the CNN interview, he announced he is endorsing his “longtime friend” Hillary Clinton.

Why? Well … Let’s let Mr. Simmons explain:

“I have just decided to endorse my longtime friend Sen. Clinton,” Simmons said. “I think that Sen. Sanders is overpromising; he’s insensitive to the plight of black people.”

Bernie Sanders is insensitive to the plight of black people? Is he talking about the same Bernie Sanders who was arrested for protesting segregation when Simmons was in kindergarten? Um … ok. But that’s not the only totally insane reason he’s endorsing Hillary. Go ahead, Mr. Simmons:

snip

“The number one threat to America and to the world is the factory farming lobby because it is poisoning the planet quickly and it is poisoning its inhabitants. So the shift has to be away from the animal products, away from the beef industry, specifically, but all the animal products into a plant-based diet or there will be no planet and in the next 50 years, we won’t even have an ocean. So if the ocean’s die, we die.”

Simmons went on … but you get the picture.

Apparently, when Simmons told all this wacky claptrap to Sanders, Sanders brushed him off as the nutjob he is. Hillary, on the other hand must have done a much better job maintaining a straight face and not bursting out in laughter when Simmons told her all of this.

Simmons has been a vegan for almost 17 years now and must be suffering from a B12 deficiency.

So, as I said, Russell Simmons’ endorsement of Hillary over Bernie Sanders must be important to someone, I’m just not sure who it is.

Video at link. Being a vegan, Russel Simmons' B-12 deficiency certainly shows. Yup, the effects of veganism doesn't discriminate, it brings out the batsh!t crazy in anyone. And it's incredible how Simmons can say Clinton is honest and keep a straight face. We should have him arrested for attempted murder. Is he trying to make us die laughing?

“I think that Sen. Sanders is overpromising; he’s insensitive to the plight of black people.”

And Hitlery IS? Please give me one single solitary example of anything Hitlery has ever done for blacks, freakin' idiot.

...ah sure

We are all going to die, Russell, no matter what we do or do not do.

[Pearls Before Swine]

My bad... I was thinking of Richard Simmons.

Richard Simmons

[darkwing104]

Who?

[Grampa Dave]

God keeps giving these gifts to Trump and us, his loyal voters.

[JBW1949]

Who is Russell Simmons?

[MIchaelTArchangel]

Someone should tell Richard that we all will die whether we eat animal matter, vegetable matter, fungal matter, or nothing at all.

My question for Richard is whether or not he thinks Hillary is a vegan?

[al baby]

you need help real help seek it

[NormsRevenge]

He should eat more kale and celery and chew less coca leaves.

Black vegans? That is a weird and uncommon type. I’ve spent my life in big cities, small cities, and have lived in almost all black neighborhoods. I can think of nothing more foreign to urban black culture than the save-the-planet eat-a-kale anorexic college chick attitude. I suspect the same applies to rural black culture.

I don’t know who he is but he’s crazy.

[Cowgirl of Justice]

I think she eats carpet...

[ameribbean expat]

Maybe he self-identfies as a save-the-world anorexic white college girl. Personally, I’d miss the really good BBQ if this catches on in the black community...

[Talisker]

Russel Simmons is why our Founders created a Republic instead of a Democracy.

[rey]

Big news Russell; we all die whether we eat veggies or not.

[Redleg Duke]

That dirty, vicious bastard. Reveling in the screams of agony as innocent broccoli is thrown into boiling water!

George Carlin put it in perspective over 40 yrs ago. The environmentalist, back-to-nature thing started with a bunch of well-to-do ("privileged") WHITE women who wanted to fix things. Occasionally an "organic" farmers market pops up in Harlem, the South Bronx, Newark, the Sulphur Springs section of Tampa and other such areas. Even then most of the customers are White yuppie types from surrounding gentrified 'hoods who wouldn't be caught dead there after dark. When it comes to environmentalism and all things organic, I've seen more diversity at a NASCAR race. In all fairness, James Golden, aka Rush's right hand man Bo Snerdly, is a vegetarian himself, but strictly for health reasons, NOT to make some idiotic social commentary.

It might be that Mr Simmons has been smoking some plants.
