Jane Fonda, an actor, visited Asia during the Vietnam War. She received a lot of backlash after being pictured beside the American enemy. Even though Fonda has subsequently clarified that she had no intention behind the old photos, many of people perceived her protest of America’s involvement in the Vietnam War as a sign of treason against the government, which destroyed her reputation. Fonda’s involvement in the contentious photos never resulted in any official accusations against her. But in a recent Fox News program, a former Trump advisor brought up Fonda’s problematic background and even charged the elderly actor with “treason” for posing for the 1972 photos.
Stephen Miller, a former senior Trump White House advisor, made the inflammatory remarks against Fonda during a Fox News episode on Wednesday. Miller went so far as to charge the two-time Academy Award-winning actress with high treason during an appearance on the conservative entertainment-news channel for her actions in 1972, when she flew to Vietnam and appeared on a Vietnamese radio show to denounce American involvement in the Asian War.
Fonda was shown riding an anti-aircraft gun, which would have been used to fire down American pilots and planes in the sky over Vietnam, in one of the pictures from her trip to Vietnam.
Due of her efforts, Fonda has recently returned to the public eye. She protested in Washington and was arrested at least once during Trump’s one term in office. She now demands that President Joe Biden revoke Trump’s pipeline plans, which he implemented while in office.
Miller is now using Fox News to oppose Fonda and prevent Biden from canceling the Trump pipeline.
Miller remarked of Fonda, “People may have forgotten what she did in the Vietnam War.” She offered her services as a propaganda tool for the North Vietnamese Communists. She performed propaganda for North Vietnam on their radio station.
She sat atop their anti-aircraft battery, which is used to shoot down American aircraft and airmen, he continued. By any measure, and I’ll use the word, what she did was treasonous.
Fonda expressed regret to American veterans for the “Hanoi Jane” picture a long time ago. She had no regrets about her anti-war activities, nevertheless.
In 1988, she told Barbara Walters, “I’m very sorry that I hurt them. I was trying to help end the killing and the war, but there were times when I was thoughtless and careless about it.”
