Jane Fonda Calls For COVID-19 Recovery Money To Be Used To Fight Climate Change
Hollywood actress Jane Fonda used her weekly âFire Drill Fridayâ protest, which has been moved to the Internet because of the coronavirus pandemic, to outrageously call for COVID-19 recovery money to be used to fight climate change.
During the protest, Fonda ranted against corporate bailouts during the coronavirus crisis, instead demanding that the federal government allocate recovery money to green or sustainable energy as well as to efforts that create a âlevel playing fieldâ for workers.
âThese historic sums of stimulus money arenât going to happen again, maybe even during our lifetimes. And where they go and how they are spent will determine so much about what kind of future we have,â said Fonda, 82, according to Breitbart News. âSo while we insist on more funding to heal the effects of this pandemic, we must also insist that the money is used to lay the foundation for a clean, sustainable energy future as well as justice and dignity and a level playing field for all workers.â
Fonda kicked off todayâs rally by bashing President Donald Trump, accusing his administration of stifling working Americans by trying âto ram through bail outs for the already privileged and the powerful.â She then praised Democrats, who she claims âhave fought to include financial aid for workers and small businesses, hospitalsâŠbut more, much more needs to be done.â
Of course, this is a blatant lie, as it was congressional Democrats who just blocked aid for small businesses in a Republican-backed initiative that would have created $250 billion in coronavirus-related small-business loans.
Moving on from there, Fonda slammed oil and drilling companies and their leaders. âWe have to say ânoâ to bailouts for corporate executives and oil billionaires and âyesâ to immediately protecting the most vulnerable among us,â she said. âFossil fuel executives donât give a fuzzy ratâs ass about workers or communitiesâ well being.â
âNowâs the time to invest in economic relief and stimulus measures that put all workers and families first, not big corporations,â she added.
Fonda has been known for her crazed left-wing activism for decades, going all the way back to her anti-American protests during the Vietnam War, when she was nicknamed âHanoi Jane.â It seems that some things never change, as she is now gleefully trying to use a pandemic that has killed over 60,000 Americans to force her radical liberal agenda down all of our throats.
