Jane Fonda draws measly crowd while defending Don Lemon outside courthouse
NY Post ^ | 1/30/26 | Katie Jerkovich

Jane, who? Aging lefty actress Jane Fonda struggled to draw a crowd as she railed against the arrest of Don Lemon Friday outside a Los Angeles courthouse. The 88-year-old gathered with only a handful of sign-waving supporters for her full-throated defense of Lemon, who was charged for storming of a Minnesota church with a group of agitators. “They’ll make up all kinds of defamatory things to say about him. That’s what they’re doing. This is how autocrats act. We can’t fall for it,” Fonda said.

Its a slam dunk case of violating civil rights….. a subject the left seems to be an expert on when Republicans are involved. I mean even most liberals cant stand Don Lemon, so I am not sure how much support he will really get. He wasnt simply there reporting, he was an activist. Now he can deal with the charges like the other activists.

“Someone gets naked in movies and they can draw crowds for speaking appearances.”

Don’t get any ideas. It doesn’t work for everybody.

Was Henry Fonda also a communist leftist? I have no idea if he was leftist.

Too bad I wasn’t available for a counter.
I would have started a cheer where one side of the crowd yelled “Don’t!” and the other side would shout, “Show us your t*ts!”

I can’t figure out why this witch went to the NVA for a photo op. It was a defining moment that made her an instant traitor when she could have had a relatively successful acting career (far above what she had).

As a young person she had good looks and a nice figure. She might have gotten better parts in better movies and been a big star, above that of her father. But no, she had to go leftward and wound up being one of the most hated persons by most veterans and other patriots.

Her mother committed suicide, which strongly suggests mental illness in the family. The fact that this witch is a lefty certainly points to mental instability.

Jane’s popularity has diminished to nothing as has Lemon’s.

“Can you believe that Jane is 88?”

Proving that wisdom comes with age but age can come alone.

There will be a river of piss when she dies that will drown out her grave. As one who served during Vietnam, I cannot think of another politician that I am more disgusted with. Notice I didn’t say Actress. I think she got her breaks on her Daddy’s ticket.

I always thought the reason they didn’t haul her up on charges was because her dad Henry Fonda was a pretty beloved icon and they just didn’t have the heart to do it to him.

Jane has a very long history of being on the wrong side of issues (or at least pursuing them in unhelpful ways).

Maybe today’s youth just don’t know who she is...?

The members of the Church have 1st Amendment rights also. 8 Journalists were arrested and jailed for being at J6. Democrats all ready set the legal standard that invalidates Lemon’s attempted 1stA defense

I’ve always said that she should have been executed by a firing squad, and. ashes spread behind a tree somewhere. Although she’d have been made a martyr, at least she’d have been a DEAD MARTYR.

She’ll have to be buried at sea to avoid the ocean coming her way.
