During the Vietnam War, actor Jane Fonda traveled to Asia. She was photographed with the enemy of the United States and was heavily criticized for the photos. Fonda has since explained that she did not mean anything by the old images, but her reputation was nonetheless torn to shreds by thousands of people who saw her protest of America’s involvement in the Vietnam War as a sign of treason against the government.
No formal charges were ever brought against Fonda for her role in the controversial images. However, a former Trump advisor has recently brought up Fonda’s troubled past during a Fox News segment and even accused the aging actor of committing “treason” when posing for the pictures in 1972.
Former senior Trump White House advisor Stephen Miller made the incendiary comments against Fonda during a Wednesday broadcast on a Fox News segment.
