There was just an embrace of the Ukrainian people and a dismissal of people of color in other countries.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tomlin, whose close friendship with noted leftist actress Jane Fonda goes back decades, was asked, \u201cWhat is the secret to your working partnership (and friendship) with Fonda?\u201d She answered, \u201cWe both have the same work ethic and we genuinely love each other, even though we come from such different backgrounds. I know she has my back, and I know I have hers. And I\u2019m of course interested in all her political activities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In September 2017 at the Emmys, Tomlin said of President Trump, \u201cAnd in 2017, we still refuse to be controlled by a sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As for Fonda, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/movies\/movie-news\/hollywood-flashback-1972-photo-turned-jane-fonda-hanoi-jane-972398\/\">The Hollywood Reporter<\/a> wrote in 2017:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>Almost 45 years after she climbed into the seat of a North Vietnamese anti-aircraft gun vehicle and smiled for photographers, Jane Fonda, now 79, still finds herself targeted by U.S. military veterans.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The actress and activist, who took to the L.A. streets for the Women\u2019s March to protest Donald Trump\u2019s policies, already was one of Hollywood\u2019s most outspoken opponents of the Vietnam War when, at 34, she made a two-week trip to Hanoi in July 1972. By then, more than 60,000 U.S. soldiers had lost their lives in the conflict; Vietnamese casualties were close to 1 million.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>In October 2020, speaking of the coronavirus COVID-19, actress Jane Fonda, an inveterate opponent of President Trump and promoter of presidential candidate Joe Biden, crowed that the virus \u201cripped the Band-Aid off who he (Trump) is and what he stands for,\u201d shrieking, \u201cWhat a great gift! What a tremendous opportunity! \u2026 COVID is God\u2019s gift to the Left.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fonda\u2019s rant began, \u201cWe can stop fascism. We are at a point where we can \u2014 this is a crossroads. It\u2019s an existential crossroads. And we are people who can help determine which way humanity goes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fonda shrieked, \u201cWhat a great gift! What a tremendous opportunity! We\u2019re just so lucky! We have to use it with every ounce of intelligence and courage and wherewithal we have, because you\u2019re absolutely right.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is it,\u201d she continued. \u201cThis is it. I just think COVID is God\u2019s gift to the Left,\u201d she chuckled.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a terrible thing to say; I mean, I think it was a very difficult thing to send down to us, but it has ripped the Band-Aid off who he is and what he stands for and what is being done to average people and working people in this country,\u201d Fonda stated. \u201cWe can see it now; people who couldn\u2019t see it before, they see it now, and we have a chance to harness that anger and make a difference. So I feel so blessed to be alive right now.\u201d<\/p>\n[embedded content]\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies for breaking news, investigative reporting, sports, podcasts, in-depth analysis, books, and entertainment for a reason: because we believe in what we do.
