Trump White House fügt Jane Fonda zu seiner wachsenden Liste von Promi -Zielen hinzu

**From Steve Benen, editor of MaddowBlog and producer for „The Rachel Maddow Show”:** 

In 1947, as Republican Sen. Joe McCarthy helped fuel a notorious “red scare,” the Committee for the First Amendment was formed to push back against the tide. Academy Award winner Henry Fonda, a few years after his decorated World War II military service, was among the committee’s earliest and most prominent members.

Nearly eight decades later, his daughter is helping carry a very similar torch.

“I’m 87 years old. I’ve seen war, repression, protest, and backlash. I’ve been celebrated, and I’ve been branded an enemy of the state. But I can tell you this: this is the most frightening moment of my life,” Fonda wrote in a letter inviting her peers to join the re-established group.

Ideally, an American president and his team would focus their energies on affairs of state. But in recent months, Trump and his operation have shown a disproportionate interest in targeting celebrities.

Before Fonda it was Ariana Grande. Before Grande it was Selena Gomez. Before Gomez it was Tom Hanks.

Pretty sure she’s been there before, she’ll be fine. Fucker-in-chief can cry about it.

The absence of Billie Joe Armstrong (openly mocking and verbally abusing him at shows) makes me 100% certain that he’s a Green Day fan.

Yeah put that 87 year old woman on that list. She looks very dangerous.

Still mad about Vietnam and civil rights, huh?

Cue Jane Fonda, flipping the bird.
