During a heated segment on Fox News, Stephen Miller went after Jane Fonda over her actions during the Vietnam War. He said her 1970s trip to North Vietnam was not just activism, but flat-out treason.
Miller pointed to several things she did back then, including speaking on Vietnamese radio, posing beside an anti-aircraft gun, and wearing a soldier’s helmet. He said these moves were part of Communist propaganda and called it a betrayal.
He asked viewers: “Should Fonda, who he claimed committed treason, still be revered as a hero?”
The interview mainly focused on her 1972 visit and how it still upsets many veterans. Miller used the nickname “Hanoi Jane” and made it clear he believes that label still fits.
He brought all this up while tying it to her current protest work, especially her push against pipeline projects. Fonda recently criticized President Biden for not doing more to stop them.
Miller’s point seemed to be that her past should not be forgotten just because she’s protesting again now. He said her apology over the photo wasn’t enough.
He said: “Her regret over the photo did not absolve her of the broader accusations of treason.”
The segment sparked more conversation online and among veterans about whether Fonda’s past should impact how people see her today. Some say yes, some say no, but the debate is clearly still alive.
Fonda has spent years protesting things she believes in, and this isn’t the first time her past has been brought up during her more recent activism. The Fox News piece put that history front and center again.
