If Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum ends up in the White House, Sean Penn won't be happy about it.

“I don't want to see Rick Santorum be president because I would like to see people in trouble in this country getting out of it,” the actor and liberal activist said on CNN  Monday night. “I don't want to see a narrow-minded leadership encourage a narrow-minded Congress.”

Penn went on to call Santorum “a fanatic,” but gave the former Pennsylvania senator credit for his consistency. “If Rick Santorum said to me, 'here's what I'm going to do,' I'd be much more likely to believe him than many others,” Penn said, adding: “It's the reason I wouldn't support him.”
