This article is for those who are 30 and younger and weren’t alive, nor are they aware of a time, when Jane Fonda, Leftist actress, visited North Vietnam during the height of the Vietnam War to basically protest US involvement there. For you who are younger, let’s get a few things out there. First, when I say Leftist actress, that is actually an oxymoron, meaning you can’t be an actress in today’s media (who isn’t blacklisted) without being a Leftist.
Secondly, Jane Fonda was an actress who was minimally talented, but had a great acting pedigree from her father, Henry Fonda. Therefore, despite her talent’s shortcomings, she was given a sort of free pass when it came to expressing herself. If you doubt me, look at her father’s work in “12 Angry Men” (a must see) versus her work in “Barbarella.”
Fonda, like all proclaimed Communists, decided to travel to North Vietnam for a visit that she now claims was to just draw attention to the US bombing of levies that “would have killed two million people.” Failing to mention the fact that North Vietnamese were already committing genocide on their own people in South Vietnam, Fonda, in essence, took the opportunity to attend one infamous ceremony where she posed in front of a soldier holding an anti-aircraft rocket launcher and received a backlash from veterans like virtually no other.
Read on the next page how Fonda, in an interview on BBC at the ripe old age of 78, has opted to paint over the truth and offer an alternative facts-based Fake News version of what really happened while on that visit that earned her the nickname of “Hanoi Jane!”
Glad you went sorry you came home
I agree Gloria.
Maybe you need to go back and let’s see if they welcome you now
I AM SO GLAD SHE IS PROUD THAT SHE GOT PRISONER’S OF WAR BEATEN TO A BLOODY PULP AND STARVED AND PUT IN WOODEN CRATES SO SMALL THEY COULD NOT MOVE. THESE MEN WERE TREATED WITH SUCH HATE. YES SHE SHOULD BE PROUD………
To bad you couldn’t have stayed there permanently !!
If she makes a movie don’t watch it, she will just go away.
Should have stayed there. You are a traitor
You traitorous disgrace, why did you come back? Can’t even stomach to look at you.
She also watched the North Vietnamese army beat and torment American soldiers! Always remember…these young American soldiers were in a war they were ordered to fight! So sick of her resurfacing! She needed to bury her head in the sand never to be seen again! Her dad and brother basically disowned her…she was a disgrace to America! I do think they eventually forgave her but that was just for the media!
I remember this so well! She was a traitor and never ever showed remorse! Why she was allowed back in the US after that is beyond me!
