Actress Jane Fonda criticized Democratic Party leaders as “not good enough” while discussing her relaunch of the Committee for the First Amendment on CNN.
Actress and activist Jane Fonda said Democratic Party leaders are “not good enough” while promoting her relaunch of the Committee for the First Amendment during an appearance on CNN on Wednesday.
The committee was originally founded by members of the entertainment industry in the 1940s as a way to push back against Hollywood blacklisting during the McCarthy era. Fonda, whose father, Henry Fonda, was an original member, told CNN’s Dana Bash she hoped to revive that same spirit of unity against former President Donald Trump.
“No president has ever sent troops into the Democratic cities across the country saying full force”, Fonda said. “No president, as far as I know, has tried to control the Federal Reserve, the central bank. He is amassing power in a way that will destroy our democracy.
