Jane Fonda Considered Run To Replace Gov. Newsom In Recall

“Grace & Frankie” star Jane Fonda explored the possibility of a bid for California governor in the upcoming recall race on September 14, but ultimately opted out.

Fonda was in discussions to join the ballot as a progressive candidate earlier in the summer but ultimately did not file the paperwork required to run for office and threw her support behind Newsom.  

The “Barbella” star has been heavily involved in political activism throughout her career, beginning in the 1960s when she supported the Civil Rights Movement and heavily opposed the Vietnam War.

In 1969, she and other celebrities supported the Alcatraz Island occupation by native Americans, then formed an anti-war roadshow called the FTA tour (“Free The Army) with Fred Gardner and Donald Sutherland as a response to Bob Hope’s USO tour the following year. 

She was arrested for the first time on November 3, 1970, after making waves with the government for traveling to Canada to participate in an anti-war speaking tour. Upon her return to the U.S., she was arrested on suspicion of drug trafficking after customs seized small baggies of pills in her luggage.

Despite her claims that the pills were vitamins, the arresting officer said he was acting on direct orders from the Nixon White House. Charges were dropped after lab tests confirmed she was telling the truth.  

“I told them what [the vitamins] were but they said they were getting orders from the White House,” she said in 2009. I think they hoped this ‘scandal’ would cause the college speeches to be canceled and ruin my respectability.”

She was arrested five more times during climate change protests dubbed “Fire Drill Fridays,” for participating in the Friday D.C. events in 2019.

I felt the same way, Ms. Fields – “WHO would vote for THAT THING” and then I remembered the Biden-Harris Administration. Maybe old Hanoi Jane should have stayed the course. Californians seem to have an unfailing instinct for finding the bottom.

Hanoi Jane doesn’t have a snowball’s chance in Death Valley of winning. What’s her motivation for considering running?

SHE SHOULD RUN IN HER OWN COUNTRY NORTH VIET NAM. 59,000 AMERICAN SHE KILLED WITH COMMUNIST PROPAGANDA. SHE IS WORSE THAN AN ABORTIONIST. SOON SHE WILL MEET ALL THE VETS SHE BETRAYED.
