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.'

OH, yes he is sorry.

He's the sorriest son-of-a-bitch I've ever seen.

Henry Fonda served honorably in the navy In World War II. For a time he was at Treasure Island in Oakland the same time my dad was there in 1943

If this would have been done to the Obamas by someone else, my response would be the same - arrest, try, convict, cool them off in a slammer for a while.

Idiot Fonda (I repeat myself) got schooled by someone, even if not by the SS.

Here’s hoping his movie bombs big time.

A conservative issues an insincere apology and they lose their television show and the media is all over them. A liberal issues an insincere apology and the media be like, “See? They’re really, really sorry. Give them a break.”

To be fair, we don’t *know* that.

I just want to have a contrast for our reaction, versus the left’s over Rosanne (and her apology).

“”The first lady’s office conferred with U.S. Secret Service about the incident””

Good for them...that’s what needs to be done every time one of these ugly people write something like that - EVERY SINGLE TIME...no messing around. These people are just downright sick. So hateful, how do they even exist?

I see the new James Patterson book (written with Bill Clinton) is getting a lot of advertising. I’ve read the last of his (JP) books! Won’t participate at all in anything to do with degenerates. I don’t think we can boycott this jerk’s movies (Fonda) as I don’t think he’s made any films in years. Man - would I love to see Hollywood run by conservatives!

“What excuse will he come up with?”

If I were him, I’d paraphrase a few lines from an old George Thurogood song about “Jimmy Beam” and “my good Buddy Weiser” - and pray that gets you off the hook.
