Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) revealed she's "reporting" Jane Fonda after the actress awkwardly joked she's "thought about murder" when asked what she'd recommend to fight for abortion rights beyond "marching and protesting."
View co-host Joy Behar and Fonda's Moving On co-star Lily Tomlin were both quick to say Fonda was joking and the actress remained silent, making a mock sinister face at the audience. Greene found no humor in the segment and tweeted a bizarre rant where she both threatened to "report" Fonda, but mocked the 85-year-old artist's age and ability to bear children.
"I routinely get death threats because of the nasty women on The View and the things they say about me," Greene tweeted after declaring herself an "unapologetic pro-life politician." "But calling for us to be assassinated makes The View, the hosts, the producers, the network, the advertisers, and everyone involved responsible for death threats, attacks, and potential murders of Pro-Life politicians and activists. I am reporting this."
That was when Greene got personal with Fonda.
"By the way @Janefonda your eggs are dried up so you don't have to worry about getting pregnant anytime soon, so you can retire from demanding baby murder now," she wrote. The congresswoman even called for the FBI to get involved.
Unapologetic Pro-Life Politician here. ♀️
I routinely get death threats because of the nasty women on The View and the things they say about me.
But calling for us to be assassinated makes The View, the hosts, the producers, the network, the advertisers, and everyone involved… https://t.co/Vsa7tik8zg

The @FBI and @TheJusticeDept have targeted Pro-Life protestors for praying outside of abortion clinics. They better step up and hold @Janefonda and @TheView accountable for calling for the murder of Pro-Life Politicians like me.
I will not be voting to fund the FBI and DOJ… https://t.co/YSJC6FhHK5

Greene also tweeted from her personal account and told her followers "many Democrats," including Fonda, want them dead.
Jane Fonda (and many Democrats) want you and me "murdered" for fighting to protect the most innocent in the womb.
Believe Democrats when they say the quiet part out loud.
Sounds like they want us dead. https://t.co/XK8smqIp0L

Fonda's words set off a number of other critics who blasted the actress and some insisted she was promoting violence against pro-lifers based on the quick segment.
Jane Fonda is inciting violence against pro life politicians. This dangerous rhetoric is unacceptable. https://t.co/psKb0Tcjj5

BEHAR: "Besides marching and protesting, what else do you suggest?
JANE FONDA: "MURDER."
TOMLIN: "What did you say?"
FONDA: "MURDER!"

During her appearance on The View , Fonda declared the country will not "go back" on abortion despite the Supreme Court's reversal of Roe v Wade .
"We have experienced for many decades now of having agency over our bodies, of being able to determine when and how many children to have. We know what that feels like," she said. "We know what that's done for our lives. We're not going back. I don't care what the laws are. We're not going back."

Greene appears to be saying that people should only speak out on things that personally effect them. That would seem to invalidate about 95% of everything she says. Or is there transgender in her personal background?
"Oh, the humanity"
Today's lesson in progressive morality, "Its okay to jokes about killing Republican politicians"
The next time someone jokes about hurting a Democrat "This is hate speech and stochastic terrorism, the speaker belongs in jail for inciting murder"
Also not a surprise to see Democrats rally around a willing propaganda piece for a regime that was torturing American POWs in order to attack a Congresswoman. .
As much as I despise both those individuals, they are more than welcome to go at each other and make fools of themselves.
I may not agree with a lot of Jane Fonda's politics, but MTG needs to stop picking fights with people that are smarter than herself. She needs to stick to arguing only with Boebert.
She could have a Georgia throwdown with Hank Johnson. Apparently "complete moron" is a big advantage in Georgia politics.
Actually, I bet she knows that islands do not tip over from overpopulation.
Possibly. But I wouldn't be surprised if she thought they were held in place solely by Donald Trump's patriotism and dedication.
Or maybe Jewish satellite tractor beams?
I personally don't care for anything Hanoi Jane has to say. She should have been arrested and charged with treason (a crime that as far as I know has no statute of limitations) years ago and should a least should still be behind bars.
So in right wing world it is treason to protest against something that was initiated on lies and fraud and waged for profit? Gee, that is humbling.
Nothing wrong with protesting Kennedy’s and LBJ’s war. Some that that her radio broadcasts from North Vietnam were disparaging of soldiers and POWs and that sitting on an anti-aircraft gun there was more than protesting.
Perhaps Kennedy's wavering stance on the war got him murdered. After that the war belonged to LBJ, Nixon and the American people. Sitting on the 20mm anti aircraft weapon was a mistake which she acknowledged later on. She never 'disparaged' our soldiers but did condemn the unrelenting air campaigns on the Vietnamese civilian population.
Unfortunately, protest against government's wrongdoings rarely succeed. US in 2003. Russia in 2022. The Military Industrial Complex is very powerful. Nations continue their wars (unless outright defeated) until the political or economic realities become untenable.
She called POWs who complained of being tortured hypocrites and liars.
No it is treason to sit in an enemy antiaircraft gun used to shoot down American pilots and to give aid and comfort to said enemy in their country
That is a lie.
Far less treason than standing in front of a microphone at Helsinki and telling the world that you trusted Putin's government more than you trusted your own.
For quite a while, you have been lying 'bout your statement. When asked, numerous, numerous, numerous times for a link or proof - you go "poof" and disappear.
Why do you continue with this lie?
Lol. Normally, I'd be offended about a claim I lied, but considering the source, I can only laugh. The proof is all over the internet
From the New York Times, April 7, 1973:
Look at the video. Look at the damn thing.
There is a fine line regarding Fonda's Vietnam behavior. On the one side is unpatriotic and unamerican while just a step across is treason. People can make up their own minds. To my knowledge Jane Fonda has never apologized to the American troops in Vietnam at the time of her visit to Hanoi whom she willingly disparaged as murderers nor, as far as I know, did she make a attempt to see any of the American POW's in Hanoi less than a mile away from her infamous SAM missile site photo op that were routinely being tortured by their North Vietnamese captors. I don't think she ever to them either. I stopped hating Fonda years ago, but I still pity her for the poor and misguided actions she took that caused a lot of pain and suffering to a lot of other people.
Tokyo rose was convicted of treason for doing what Fonda did.
Yep.
Yep. So was Mildred Gillars (a.k.a. "Axis Sally") who did the same for Nazi Germany.
Based on bias, racism and lies. There were many women involved but only one American trapped in Japan at the wars outbreak. Tokyo Rose was a catch all phrase to refer to all of them.
Regardless, Fonda actually did what Tokyo rose was only alleged to have done.
Fonda is wrong. The only people permitted to murder are those in the alleged pro-life camp. Thus far there are many instances of threats, attacks, bombings and murders by these 'fetus worshippers'.
And as a Vietnam veteran, any animosity I have are reserved for those in power and those in profit that lied the US into that conflict. Not towards those who tried to get us out of there.
To the best of my knowledge those pro life people that committed attacks, bombings and murders have been caught and prosecuted. The ones that are getting away with murder are those that end the lives of babies still in the womb.
And again you do the deflect and miss the point.
And where and /or what was the deflection? I just corrected the statement and proved it incorrect. What do you think the point was?
The actions. Prosecutions only means that they were caught.
They were also convicted. None of the got away with anything.
Ironically, it was liberals who spit on our troops and called them "baby killers" when they returned from Vietnam.
Many of these same liberals are perfectly OK with doing that exact same thing when pregnancies become inconveniences.
Ironically, these stories were a myth. A complete fiction repeated over and over until the vets themselves believed it and it wasn't a democrat vs republican or a liberal vs conservative thing even.
Opinion | The Myth of the Spitting Antiwar Protester - The New York Times (nytimes.com)
Well, I beg to differ with you because when I came back to the world and landed at LAX I definitely had a greasy long haired punk try to spit on me and kick me while calling me a "warmongering baby killer". I have no idea of his political affiliation and did not care at the time. It was ironic that I was wearing Navy Crackerjack dress blue uniform with a medical caducei on my upper uniform sleeve which I'm sure had no significance to that individual. As I turned to confront the guy he ran away.
Like I said it wasn't political at the time.
Kind of hard to prove one way or another, not much physical evidence and no cell phone videos then.
Brainwashed?
You can also reach out to that NYT writer and Jack Shafer and offer them your testimony.
Jack Shafer: Were Vietnam vets spat at? | History News Network
Both seem convinced that there is no evidence of such occurrences.
That's not to say that life doesn't eventually imitate the written word.
We see that all too well now with the internet.
Landing at SF I did not experience anyone spitting on me, there were protestors for sure but I was not confronted in any way.
On my second tour, I came back through LA and didn't experience any confrontations although there were numerous protestors.
A couple of things have not been mentioned. There were two large protests 67/68 and again in 1971 by Nam vets against the war. Many were disabled from the war all were combat vets from the Nam.
Many that fought and some died were the so-called liberals. War doesn't know the fucking difference between political associations.
My salute goes out to those that were actually in the Nam, not those speculating on something that they know little or nothing about.
Currahee ''We Stand Alone''.
I doubt that the author questioned every vet that came back. I can only say that it happened to me and in retrospect it was probably a isolated event. I had severe anger issues when I came home and probably would have torn that kid apart if he had not run a away.
No doubt that it did happen to you, doc. It didn't happen to me but that is just me.
It was at best, a really fucked up war that took a very long time to reconcile in our minds if ever.
You got that right my friend.
My brother graduated from our school ROTC artillery program first and did 2 years at different FSBs basically keeping my other brother and myself stateside as the Army applied the Sole survivor rules at the time.
Don't forget that people who were serving in Oakland Army Depot or receiving service member remains up in Marin County were sometimes treated the same as though they had served in country. Civilians cant tell.
No issues coming home, not necessarily welcomed everywhere found it hard as hell to get a job afterwards.
My grandfather suggested to us and our cousins that they remove ROTC and years of service from job applications and resumes, avoid wearing old military gear or rank.
Everyone seemed to get bank or accounting work overnight.
I would say there was a moral resentment against most vets by most people regardless of politics in the early to late 70s
Living in a small town in rural Arizona had it's advantages. Returning vets were pretty much welcomed back with open arms.
