Rosario Dawson Thinks Prince’s Ghost Will Help Bernie Win California or Something

Independent Vermont Senator and Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders‘ rallies are nothing if not entertaining, especially the senator’s opening acts. Case in point: actress Rosario Dawson, last seen bringing up Monica Lewinsky at a rally in Delaware, and somehow connecting a predicted Bernie Sanders win in the California Democratic primary to the birthday of recently-deceased music legend Prince. To cries of “Down with Hillary!”, Dawson explained that Bernie’s appeal to Republicans, Democrats, and independents meant that they were all going to “vote purple,” so:

So actually, I think it’s quite fitting that on June 7, the day that we’re going to win California, that that would’ve been Prince’s birthday.

Prince, it should be noted, was a Jehovah’s Witness, and didn’t celebrate his birthday. But the rest of it makes perfect sense.
