Jane Fonda said she hoped for an open dialogue with veterans after about 50 former military members and supporters protested the actress’s appearance Friday evening at the Weinberg Center for the Arts.
“Whenever possible I try to sit down with vets and talk with them, because I understand and it makes me sad,” Fonda told a relatively full theater, responding to a submitted question. “It hurts me and it will to my grave that I made a huge, huge mistake that made a lot of people think I was against the soldiers.”
In 1972 Fonda visited Hanoi, North Vietnam, where she criticized attacks on the dike system along the Red River. A U.S. investigation later revealed the publicity of these bombings as propaganda. Fonda’s statements and a photograph of her sitting on a North Vietnamese anti-aircraft battery outraged many Americans and veterans, leading many to call her “Hanoi Jane” and a “traitor.”

OK let’s hear about your “huge huge mistake” on the nuclear industry.
And “huge huge mistake” on ever other issue you have been ON THE WRONG SIDE OF.
I MEAN ITS NOT LIKE PEOPLE DIED AS A RESULT OR ANYTHING- OH WAIT...
And don’t even get me started on fat women in spandex when your exercise videos came out...
She tries to “sit down” with vets, but for the likes of Routh and Bergdahl, they will not sit down with her.
Excellent idea! Too bad they didn't put Walter Cronkite there so we could have made one trip do it all! '
Hanoi Jane needs to STFU.
Shut up Jane, you ignorant slut!
Yeah, bitch, it's all about you, ain't it?
And speaking of your grave...number one, I can't wait...and number two...better keep it a secret, 'cause there are a hell of a lot of "the soldiers" that will stand in line to piss on it.
It is not my place to forgive her since I have little connection to her treason but I will give her a small bit of credit of at least admitting some error. Most leftists go to their grave thinking they have the true religion.
Too late, eat sh!t and die.
When she croaks they might as well put one of those on her tombstone, ‘cause it’s gonna happen.
Where does Jane Fonda stand with regard to Obama being impeached?
And Biden would be all over her like an OCD house cleaner on dust.
A depressed schizophrenic.
I did notice one obvious error in the Snopes article.
quoting:
“It’s also not the case, as stated in some recent versions of this rumor, that Jane Fonda is slated to “portray Nancy Reagan in an upcoming film biography of the Reagans.”... Jane Fonda was one of a large cast of actors and actresses who played supporting roles portraying former presidents and first ladies in that movie...”
It wasn’t a biography of the Reagans, but she did in fact play Nancy Reagan in “The Butler”.
What is true repentance? Stopping what you are doing and then doing the opposite. Any evidence of that?
Too little, too late Jane. And does anyone actually think this is sincere?
Her comments and actions during that war were more than a “mistake.” Sane people call them “Treason.”
