        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>While the Democratic primary race for president has taken a backseat to <strong>coronavirus concerns</strong> within the US, both <strong>Joe Biden</strong> and <strong>Bernie Sanders</strong> are still in the running for the coveted position.</p><p>For her part, actress <strong>Alyssa Milano</strong> has shared her support for Sen. Biden, and believes it is imperative for the left that Sen. Sanders call it quits, much to the chagrin of the Vermont politician&#8217;s loyal supporters.</p><p>Milano&#8217;s Bernie Bro problem began on Tuesday afternoon when the &#8220;Tempting Fate&#8221; star, 47, reposted a clip of Whoopi Goldberg on &#8220;The View.&#8221; In the clip, Goldberg publically asks Sanders why he remains in the race when every poll shows Biden as the likely nominee.</p><p>&#8220;Thank you, @WhoopiGoldberg,&#8221; Milano <a href="https://twitter.com/Alyssa_Milano/status/1245417166544842752">captioned her tweet of the clip</a>. &#8220;This moment in time is too important to take bulls&#8211;t from our politicians.&#8221;</p><div class="embed-wrapper twitter"><div class="embed-twitter"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Thank you, <a href="https://twitter.com/WhoopiGoldberg?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@WhoopiGoldberg</a>. This moment in time is too important to take bullshit from our politicians. <strong>pic.twitter.com/grx1azJBjX</strong></p><p>&mdash; Alyssa Milano (@Alyssa_Milano) <a href="https://twitter.com/Alyssa_Milano/status/1245417166544842752?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 1, 2020</a></p></blockquote><p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div></div><p>One fan immediately re-posted a 2015 tweet from Milano where <a href="https://twitter.com/Alyssa_Milano/status/654488860773085184" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">she endorsed&nbsp;Bernie </a>during the 2016 presidential race, <a href="https://twitter.com/WestCoastBernie/status/1245427602048745473" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">writing</a> &#8220;I&#8217;m old enough to remember when you stood on the side of working and poor people.&#8221;</p><p>Others brought up accusations made against Biden regarding various levels of inappropriate behavior towards women, <strong>including sexual assault.&nbsp;</strong></p><p>&#8220;It must feel really dirty to be a paid personality for Joe Biden — a man who has a long history of sexual misconduct,&#8221; <a href="https://twitter.com/BernForBernie20/status/1245445371557490688" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">wrote another apparent Sanders supporter.</a> &#8220;Eight women have come forward which tells you there are so many more out there. And don&#8217;t forget about Anita Hill. Disgraceful.&#8221;</p><p>Another critic took aim at Milano&#8217;s personal life, <a href="https://twitter.com/mydakini/status/1245763466872254466" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">tweeting</a>, &#8220;<span class="r-18u37iz">#AlyssaMilano</span><span class="css-901oao css-16my406 r-1qd0xha r-ad9z0x r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0"> and her hubby have serious financial troubles, bankruptcy, IRS, and lawsuits. Desperate people do desperate things. Biden is her hubby&#8217;s client, and they need the money.&#8221;</span></p><p>The mother of two took to Twitter Wednesday morning to address the backlash in a thread specifically dedicated to Bernie supporters.</p><p>&#8220;I will continue to do what’s right for the people in this country no matter how you attack me. I’m tough,&#8221; <a href="https://twitter.com/Alyssa_Milano/status/1245570190680580098" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">she asserted.</a> &#8220;I’ve had 4 years of practice from MAGAs. I know all the tricks and you can’t silence me. I supported Bernie in 2016.&#8221;</p><p>She went on to say Bernie was &#8220;the right person for that moment in history,&#8221; but ultimately believes &#8220;Biden is going to be the steady leadership that we need. He has what it takes to heal the soul of the nation and bridge the divide.&#8221;</p><div class="embed-wrapper twitter"><div class="embed-twitter"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">I’m not your enemy.

That’s my opinion. My right. You’re entitled to unfollow and wish me away. But, alas, I’m not going anywhere&#8230;and I hope you don’t either.&#8221;</p><p>&#8220;I’m not your enemy,&#8221; Milano noted,&nbsp; &#8220;We are all fighting for the most vulnerable among us. I acknowledge that Sen. Sanders is an amazing public servent [sic] and we would be lucky to have him continue in any for[m] of political office. I don’t believe he can unite the country because his base is toxic.&#8221;</p><p>To support her position, the &#8220;Charmed&#8221; star went on to post <a href="https://twitter.com/Alyssa_Milano/status/1245743054557868039" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">several op-eds</a> also imploring Sanders to drop out. She also <a href="https://twitter.com/DebraMessing/status/1245556821898727427" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">found backup</a> from fellow television vet, Debra Messing.</p><p>A source <strong>told The Post</strong> last June that Sanders was looking for Milano&#8217;s support during the early stages of his 2020 campaign, personally calling the entertainer in a bid to win her backing.</p>]]></content:encoded>
