Jane Fonda: ‘I am Proud I Went to Vietnam’


A short while ago, Jane Fonda, noted daughter-actor-turned-Communist anti-American, decided to weigh in on the Muslim ban installed by the Trump administration and also to pile on with the rest of the Leftist Hollywood echo chamber about how the president’s racism will turn young Muslims into terrorists!

This oft-repeated meme by the Left (and quite frankly, by the Swamp RINOs) is as old as it is tired.  The Muslims have been killing with terrorism long before Donald Trump was even born (in fact, for well over a thousand years) and will continue to do so, by their own admission.  So, let’s stop the pretentious poser Leftist crap and get real.

Fonda was interviewed recently in a BBC studio because, like Hillary, she’s attempting to sell a book.  I won’t bore you with the details of the book, because it probably sucks, but I would like to highlight some of the attempts she made at revisionist history when recounting her now infamous posing with the anti-American, anti-aircraft rocket launcher to her rear and how she supposedly never knew he was behind her.

Last week on BBC’s “Hardtalk,” actress Jane Fonda was asked by show host Stephen Sackur if inside her she had a “sense of regret” for her 1972 visit to North Vietnam at the height of the Vietnam War.

Fonda denied having any regret about the visit itself and argued she had justifications for the trip.

“I don’t regret going to Vietnam,” she said. “The United States was bombing the dikes in North Vietnam — earthen dikes in the Red River Delta. If the dikes had given way, according to Henry Kissinger, somewhere around 2 million people could have died of famine and drowning. And we were bombing, and it wasn’t being talked about. And I thought, ‘I’m a celebrity. Maybe if I go, and I bring back evidence.’ And it did stop two months after I got back, so I’m proud that I went. It changed my life all for the good.”

The part she said she had regretted was appearing with the anti-aircraft and looking that she was against American soldiers and “siding with the enemy,” which she said wasn’t the case.

“The thing that I regret is that on my last day there, I made the mistake of going to a ceremony at an anti-aircraft gun,” she added. “It wasn’t being used. There were no airplanes or anything like that. There was a ceremony. I was asked to sing and people were laughing and so forth and I was led, and I sat down. And then I got up and as I walked away, I realized, ‘Oh my gosh. It’s going to look like I am against my own country’s soldiers and siding with the enemy, which is the last thing in the world that was true.”

Gee, ya’ think?  Her father never really spoke about her foray into politics, but her brother, Peter, also an actor (Easy Rider) has not been so forgiving.  In fact, he found his sister’s anti-American antics to be reprehensible, blaming her second husband, Tom Hayden, for her Communist sympathies.

A few years ago, Fonda was promoting another one of her books on aging and was slotted to present it on the Home Shopping Network QVC when a sudden backlash from the veteran community caused the network to drop her spot.  She fumed about it for days, calling it the work of “far right lies.”

“I was to have been on QVC today to introduce my book, ‘Prime Time,’ about aging and the life cycle. The network said they got a lot of calls yesterday criticizing me for my opposition to the Vietnam War and threatening to boycott the show if I was allowed to appear. I am, to say the least, deeply disappointed that QVC caved to this kind of insane pressure by some well funded and organized political extremist groups. And that they did it without talking to me first. I have never shied away from talking about this as I have nothing to hide. I could have pointed out that threats of boycotts are nothing new for me and have never prevented me from having best selling books and exercise DVDs, films, and a Broadway play. Most people don’t buy into the far right lies. Many people have reached out to express how excited they were about my going onto QVC and hearing about my book.

Bottom line, this has gone on far too long, this spreading of lies about me! None of it is true. NONE OF IT! I love my country. I have never done anything to hurt my country or the men and women who have fought and continue to fight for us. I do not understand what the far right stands to gain by continuing with these myths. In this case, they denied a lot of people the chance to hear about a book that can help make life better, easier and more fulfilling. I am deeply grateful for all of the support I have been getting since this happened, including from my Vietnam Veterans friends.”

And these “Vietnam Veterans friends?”  All two of them?  Are they John McCain and John Kerry?  Hmm.

Fonda has also blamed her father for her struggles throughout her entire life with bulimia.

“My father would send my stepmother to tell me to lose weight and wear longer skirts. One of my stepmothers told me all the ways I’d have to change physically if I wanted a boyfriend.  I was taught by my father that how I looked was all that mattered. He was a good man, and I was mad for him, but he sent messages to me that fathers should not send: Unless you look perfect, you’re not going to be loved.” 

So, as you can see, Jane Fonda, living high on the hog since…well, since birth…has been a victim all these very long years and that’s why she has undergone multiple plastic surgeries and portrayed herself as better than everyone else.  When you’re a celebrity, you’re just better.

And just a tad advice.  You’re 78 years old.  No amount of revisionist attempts are going to change a life-long perception that you helped to promulgate early on in life.  Might as well just accept that you’re going to go down in history as anti-American “Hanoi Jane.”
