Jane Fonda on Trump: ‘We are in a Terrifying Era’

Actress Jane Fonda expressed her growing concerns about the implications of a potential second Trump administration on Wednesday, cautioning that we are entering “a terrifying era.”

“This moment is unlike anything we have confronted before. Historical precedents such as the autocratic attempts in the ’20s and ’30s, the scourge of McCarthyism, and the era of Jim Crow—while similarly oppressive—present a different landscape altogether. We must acknowledge the gravity of our situation, and solidarity is our most potent weapon,” Fonda articulated during an interview with CNN’s Dana Bash on “Inside Politics.”

Fonda went on to discuss her efforts to revitalize the spirit of the Committee for the First Amendment, a 1950s initiative that included her father and sought to protect free speech within the entertainment industry. She emphasized that this revitalization is meant to foster cross-sector collaboration to combat the broader societal impacts of current political climates.

Her initiative has already garnered the support of over 600 notable figures in the entertainment industry, marking its formal relaunch just this Wednesday.

In the clip featured below, Fonda cleverly proposes a slogan for their Hollywood resistance group that entails the acronym ‘CNN,’ prompting Dana Bash’s amused agreement. Watch the exchange:

Jane Fonda: I’ve come up with a catchy slogan for our Hollywood resistance group—’CNN.’

Dana Bash: We’ll take it!

Jane Fonda: I figured you would.

One has to wonder if Bash fully grasps the implications of this admission. Is it possible she knows exactly what she’s signing up for?

It seems Bash and CNN are unabashedly aligning themselves with “the resistance.”

Indeed, the Left appears to be teetering on the edge of hysteria. https://t.co/HkpSdciDDK

CNN seems delighted to associate itself with Hanoi Jane’s Trump Resistance.

On-brand, indeed.

The implications of this alignment are clear: CNN is continuing its descent into irrelevance. With viewership dwindling more than ever, their overt ideological slant stands as an immediate turnoff for a significant swath of the audience.
