Jane Fonda on Trump: “It’s a very cold time”

Actress Jane Fonda described her concerns in the second Trump administration, saying Wednesday the country faces “very cold moments.”

“It’s a very cold moment. You know, we had faced autocratic attempts before the 20s and 30s, and you’ve quoted McCarthy’s example. Jim Crow is Jim Crow. It’s different, we should all be very scared, the key is unity,” Fonda told CNN’s Dana Bash on Inside Politics.

“So that’s why I want to resurrect the spirit of the committees that started in the 1950s, including my father, in the entertainment industry. That’s included – we want to work across departments with others because obviously many others have been affected by what’s going on.” She added that she added committees to the First Amendment committees that recently had dated her.

More than 600 entertainment figures have signed on to Fonda’s efforts, which have resumed on Wednesday.

The committee outlined its history in a statement, saying it was founded in the 1940s and “in the dark times, the federal government suppressed and persecuted American citizens with its political beliefs.”

“The McCarthy era ended, when Americans in the political field finally came together and supported the Constitution’s principle against oppressive forces,” the statement said.

On Tuesday, late Tuesday, President Trump critics Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert exchanged stories of their dismissal. Colbert explained as he appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! How he learned his performance was cut by Paramount, a Trump-welcome action.

“It’s their ball, and they can take it home if they want,” Colbert’s host, Late Show.

The mountain has been contacted by the White House for comment.
