In Easy Rider he was right up there with the Beatles in fostering the drug culture.
WIKI-——In June 2018, Fonda went on Twitter to criticize current President Donald Trump’s administration’s enforcement of U.S. immigration policy regarding the separation of children from their parents at the Mexican border, writing that “We should rip Barron Trump from the arms of First Lady Melania Trump and put him in a cage with pedophiles.”[36]
He also suggested that Americans should seek out names of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in order to protest outside of their homes and the schools of their children.[37] The Secret Service opened an investigation based on a report from the Trump family.[38]
Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, whose daughter, White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, was also the object of Fonda’s tweets, believes that Fonda’s statement about Barron Trump is a violation of federal criminal law.[39] Fonda had also suggested “Maybe we should take her (Sanders) children away...”[40]
It was also reported by Politico that Fonda “has been railing against the White House for days”. In another now-deleted tweet, Fonda targeted Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen by calling her an uncouth name and calling for Nielsen to be “put her in a cage and poked at by passersby...”[41]
Fonda stated that he deleted his tweet regarding Barron Trump, saying that he “immediately regretted it and sincerely apologize to the family for what I said and any hurt my words have caused.”[42][43] Popular backlash to Fonda’s tweets resulted in a call for a boycott of his newest film at the time, Boundaries and other Sony projects.[44][45] Sony Pictures released Boundaries as planned on June 22, 2018,[46] but completely condemned the comments made by Fonda.[47]
