Peter Fonda apologizes to Trumps for 'highly inappropriate and vulgar' tweet

Peter Fonda apologizes to Trumps for 'highly inappropriate and vulgar' tweet calling for Barron to be 'ripped from his mother's arms and put in a cage with pedophiles' – AFTER first lady talks with Secret Service

Oscar-winner also called for addresses of ICE agents to be hacked and released

He said 'we should find out what schools their children go to and surround' them

Added: 'We need to scare the f*** out of [border agents]! Need to make their children worry now'

Actor said Kristjen Nielsen should be stripped naked and whipped in public

Rant about family separation at the border branded president a 'f****** monster'

Actor Peter Fonda apologized Wednesday afternoon for a threatening tweet in which he said Americans upset with the White House's separation of illegal-immigrant families 'should rip Barron Trump from his mother's arms and put him in a cage with pedophiles.'

The first lady's office conferred with U.S. Secret Service about the incident. The agency wouldn't say on Wednesday whether it had contacted the aging Oscar-winner directly.

Fonda issued a statement hours later, shortly after President Donald Trump signed an executive order forbidding the government from detaining children separately from the adults who brought them across the U.S.-Mexico border.

'I tweeted something highly inappropriate and vulgar about the president and his family in response to the devastating images I was seeing on television,' Fonda said.

'Like many Americans, I am very impassioned and distraught over the situation with children separated from their families at the border, but I went way too far. It was wrong and I should not have done it. I immediately regretted it and sincerely apologize to the family for what I said and any hurt my words have caused.'

Fonda’s apology would be IMO as sincere as WJC taking full responsibility. Just words out of their mouths.

Sure sounded like something the Rednecks in Easy Rider would have said just before they shot Peter Fonda.
But then they were not Dems.

Roseanne already proved that the Ambian excuse didn’t work. What excuse will he come up with?

The Leftists can say and do anything they like and make non-apology apologies and everything is supposed to be ok. I’m done with these a-holes like the Fonda’s and most of Hollywood. They are scum.

“Knock, knock on Fonda’s front door.”

No, he needs the “no knock” Manafort raid treatment.

“a cage with pedophiles”. Sounds like prison. Not that anyone would wish mr. fonda would end up there.

as others have said, Pete, what kind of parent would send their kids 1000 miles unattended through Mexico?

What? You would?

Never mind

When Peter Fonda is arrested he will be separated from his children.

But that is okay because he is an American Citizen.

The media has finally pushed a good number of these leftest goons to take off their masks and tell us exactly whom they are. The counter attack if that day ever comes, may in fact come sooner than most believe possible because the republic is as close to a flash point as it was in 1860. IOW, we are poised for conflict more so than in the racial riot era of the 60s.

Be safe out there.

Oscar-winner also called for addresses of ICE agents
This idiot never won an Oscar. He was nominated for the "Easy Rider" screenplay, plus for best actor in "Ulee's Gold" and won neither.
He did win a Golden Globe in 1998 for "Ulee's Gold", which wasn't a bad film but I'll never watch anything he does ever again.
