During the Vietnam War, actor Jane Fonda traveled to Asia. She was photographed with the enemy of the United States and was heavily criticized for the photos. Fonda has since explained that she did not mean anything by the old images, but her reputation was nonetheless torn to shreds by thousands of people who saw her protest of America’s involvement in the Vietnam War as a sign of treason against the government.No formal charges were ever brought against Fonda for her role in the controversial images. However, a former Trump advisor has recently brought up Fonda’s troubled past during a Fox News segment and even accused the aging actor of committing “treason” when posing for the pictures in 1972.
Former senior Trump White House advisor Stephen Miller made the incendiary comments against Fonda during a Wednesday broadcast on a Fox News segment. While speaking on the conservative entertainment-news channel, Miller went so far as to accuse the two-time Academy Award-winning actress of high treason because of how she flew to Vietnam in 1972 and went on a Vietnamese radio program to condemn American involvement in the Asian war.
In one photo from her Vietnam visit, Fonda was pictured straddling an anti-aircraft gun that would have been used to shoot down American pilots and planes that were in the airspace over Vietnam.
Fonda has reappeared in the public limelight recently through her activism work. Throughout Trump’s single term in office, she staged protests in Washington and was even arrested at least once. Now, she wants President Joe Biden to cancel Trump’s plans for a pipeline that he put in place while in office.Read More Below
