Back in 2015, Jane Fonda had been scheduled to speak at the Weinberg Center for the Arts in Frederic, Md. While the speech she gave wasn’t political, about 50 veterans stood outside the Center to protest Fonda’s appearance there. They held signs that read “Forgive? Maybe…Forget? Never!” and booed people attending the event, according to the Frederick News-Post.
To the protesting veterans, Fonda was “Hanoi Jane,” a nickname the young actress earned in the 1970s after making a trip to Hanoi during the Vietnam War. She had previously been outspoken against the War, but none of her actions had damaged her reputation as much as parading around with the Viet Cong, who had killed tens of thousands of American soldiers. North Vietnamese press had reported, and Fonda also confirmed, that she made several radio announcements over the Voice of Vietnam radio to implore U.S. pilots to stop their bombings. “I appealed to them to please consider what you are doing. I don’t think they know,” Fonda said in a news conference when she returned home. “The people who are speaking out against the war are the patriots.”
I bring up that detail of her past just for some context for the news today that she’s very disappointed in America today for electing President Donald Trump.
She appeared on the BBC show “Hardtalk,” and was asked by host Stephen Sackur, “are you proud of America today?” Fonda replied “No! But, I’m proud of the resistance. I’m proud of the people who are turning out in unprecedented numbers and continue and continue over and over and over again to protest what Trump is doing. I’m very proud of them, that core.”
According to Breitbart, “later in the segment, Fonda offered her thoughts on the NFL protests and was asked if she would participate. She said she would not only participate by getting down on a knee, but she would get down on both knees or on all fours if necessary.”

Trump must be horrified that one of America’s must noteworthy traitors doesn’t approve of him….. except not really.
Breaking News: Jane Fonda is still Jane Fonda.
