Jane Fonda is back at it again, using her Hollywood platform to lecture the rest of America—this time at the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards, where she took the stage to receive the SAG Life Achievement Award, as reported by The Daily Mail.

But instead of keeping the focus on her decades-long acting career, the 87-year-old star used the moment to take indirect shots at Donald Trump and push a left-wing agenda.

Though she never mentioned Trump by name, Fonda left little doubt about who she was talking about, especially when she referred to “traumatized people” who have suffered abuse from their fathers—an obvious reference to Trump, given the context.

She also praised actor Sebastian Stan for portraying a younger Trump in “The Apprentice,” emphasizing how he had to use “empathy” to understand such a character.

Fonda wasted no time defending “wokeness,” claiming that it’s not weak, and defining it as simply “giving a damn about other people.”

She then went on to declare that Americans are in their “documentary moment,” comparing today’s political climate to historic movements like the Selma March and Stonewall Riots, insisting that this is “not a rehearsal.”

Predictably, she called for Hollywood to rise against Trump and his supporters, urging her fellow actors to resist what’s “coming our way.” She even encouraged leftists to reach out to Trump voters, claiming they would be harmed by his policies as well.

“Even if they are of a different political persuasion, we need to call upon our empathy and not judge, but listen from our hearts, and welcome them into our tent,” she urged.

This isn’t the first time Fonda has used her Hollywood credentials to push radical politics.

She infamously earned the nickname “Hanoi Jane” after her 1972 trip to North Vietnam, where she was photographed sitting on an anti-aircraft gun—an image that still defines her in the eyes of many Vietnam veterans. Despite her numerous apologies over the years, she has never fully shaken the controversy, and for good reason.

During her SAG Awards speech, Fonda continued her nostalgic trip down activism lane, comparing today’s political landscape to McCarthyism and Hollywood’s so-called resistance back in the 1950s.

She then wrapped up her remarks with a rallying cry, insisting that actors must unite and “project an inspiring message of the future.”

No es la edad la que te hace intolerante, es solo el egoísmo, en todas las edades.

El gran ejemplo de Jane Fonda, 87 años:

Despite all the fanfare, not everyone was impressed with Fonda’s performance. Her red carpet interview with Lilly Singh raised concerns, as she appeared disoriented, stumbling over her words and giving short, terse answers.

Social media erupted with questions about her well-being, with many noting her slow responses and awkward demeanor.

Fonda’s political theatrics didn’t stop at the awards show. Just recently, she was seen going door-to-door in Michigan, campaigning for Kamala Harris in the upcoming presidential election.

Apparently, at nearly 90 years old, she’s still determined to push her radical agenda, whether Hollywood or the rest of America is interested or not.
