Jane Fonda went on The View and was talking about pro-life politicians. She suggested the answer for them is 'murder'.
The View was thrown into a bit of chaos on Friday when legendary actress Jane Fonda said she had “thoughts of murder” as a solution to stem the wave of anti-abortion laws sweeping the United States.
Praising Fonda’s activism, co-host Sunny Hostin said that the two-time Oscar winner “probably will get a Nobel Prize.” Behar, meanwhile, wanted to know what more Fonda could recommend beyond “marching and protesting” to pro-abortion activists.
“Well, I’ve thought of murder,” Fonda quipped, prompting a smattering of laughter and stopping her co-star in her tracks.
“What did you say?” Tomlin wondered.
“Murder,” Fonda repeated, sparking more laughter. Behar and Tomlin who was on the show, obviously fully aware that her remarks would immediately kick off a right-wing backlash, quickly jumped in to provide cover.
“Don’t say that!” Tomlin exclaimed while Behar told the audience: “They’ll pick up on that and run with it.”
