Jane Fonda has a long history of outspoken radicalism; she was, indeed, one of the first stridently anti-American socialist radicals in Hollywood even as she enjoys a plush lifestyle in the country she constantly criticizes. Now she is making the rounds of gala events to apologize to the younger generations for climate change.

The 86-year-old Fonda, who has been arrested while participating in past climate protests, tried to rev up famous faces at a Beverly Hills fundraiser against big oil in California, and later in the week, educate college students at USC Annenberg that the climate crisis is a "manifestation of racism, misogyny and patriarchy."

She also apologized to young people, saying, "I’m sorry that we’ve created this issue for you." 

Fonda’s first event was a star-studded fundraiser she hosted to raise money to keep California from overturning SB 1137, a bill Gov. Gavin Newsom, D-Calif., signed in 2022 that bars new oil and gas wells from being built within 3,200 feet of homes, hospitals, nursing homes and schools. 

Did you get that? A star-studded fundraiser, during which she blamed climate change on three of the left's favorite boogeymen: Racism, misogyny, and patriarchy. The woman has not had an original thought in decades, but then, in Hollywood and the climate alarmist community, she has a lot of company in that.

Hanoi Jane has been a pain in the American backside for decades, and one could make a very good case against her for actual treason. In 1972, she visited North Vietnam, with whom the United States was at war at the time. She was photographed sitting on a North Vietnamese Army (NVA) anti-aircraft gun, mugging and grinning for the camera, and she made broadcasts on Hanoi Radio, speaking against the war. She later claimed to regret the photograph but nothing else about that trip; it is, arguably, the radio broadcast that, more than anything else, lent aid and comfort to the enemy. That, folks, is the very definition of treason.

Hanoi Jane's environmental activism is, by comparison, recent; she first started being an annoying scold on this topic in the early 2000s.

Later in the week, Fonda spoke at several events at USC Annenberg, most notably at a panel on environmental issues.

During the event, Fonda shared with the crowd how she got her start in climate activism, talked a bit about her Fire Drill Fridays rallies that she started in 2019 to protest inaction on climate change, and spoke about the time she spent in jail after being arrested during a protest.

"I turned 82 in jail. What was so great is that most of the people that came had never been to a rally before and never gotten arrested before," she said.

In a just world, Jane Fonda would be in a prison cell now and would have been since 1972. Instead, she lives in (of course) California and has a net worth of $200 million. Hanoi Jane lives not in a dirt-floor hut like her former North Vietnamese allies but in a comfortable, high-carbon-output lifestyle in a 6,679 square-foot mansion in Los Angeles, boasting four bedrooms and seven bathrooms, along with a three-car garage, an outdoor patio, and several fireplaces; she shelled out $5.45 million for the luxurious digs.

Yet she presumes to lecture ordinary Americans about their carbon output.

In short, Jane Fonda is a perfect example of a limousine socialist. When I was wearing Uncle Sam's colors in the '80s and '90s, servicemen and servicewomen, like any large group of people, held a variety of opinions on a variety of issues, but we were united in our loathing of Hanoi Jane. She speaks and acts at every turn against America while enjoying a posh lifestyle that would be possible in only a few places.

Jane Fonda is a hypocrite on a massive scale. America's youth would be well-advised to pay her no mind. She does not have their best interests at heart, her protestations to the contrary aside.
