Roker Hails Climate Hysteria of Left-Wing Loon Jane Fonda

Posted on 09 September 2020

On Wednesday, NBC’s resident climate crusader Al Roker was in awe of actor and far-left radical Jane Fonda as he hailed the “Hollywood icon” for “her dedication to the climate crisis.” The Today show weatherman cheered Fonda’s extreme calls for an end to fossil fuels and implementation of economically destructive Green New Deal. “She has graced the silver screen for decades, an Oscar-award-winning actress and fitness guru, Jane Fonda is a Hollywood icon,” Roker swooned as the fawning interview began. He then started off with this ridiculous softball: “At this point, do you see yourself more as an activist who’s an actor or actor who’s an activist?”     Fonda replied: “Well, ever since 1970, I’ve seen myself as an activist who’s an actor.” Roker followed up with this gooey narration: “Fonda was a prominent protester of the Vietnam war and ally of the social justice movement, but she says she wants her legacy to be her dedication to the climate crisis.” A clip ran of Fonda spurring on her fellow leftists at a protest on Capitol Hill: “What do we want!” The crowd yelled: “A Green New Deal!” Rather than mention the fact that Fonda posed on a North Vietnamese anti-aircraft gun that was used to shoot down American planes or examine the radical demands in the Green New Deal, Roker instead marveled: “Last fall, taking her message directly to Washington, D.C., demanding action from the government with weekly Fire Drill Fridays, rallies on Capitol Hill to raise awareness of climate change....Her passionate fight even getting her arrested several times.” Fonda was shown wailing: “We must stop burning fossil fuels.” Not content with just being one of her adoring fans, Roker eagerly helped sell her new book as a guide to far-left climate activism: “Now, in her new book, What Can I Do?, she’s got simple steps in growing the movement from simple awareness into activism. It’s a call to action for how you can get involved.” Fonda proclaimed: I think that the majority of people know that there’s a climate crisis, and understand that it’s human caused. They don’t, maybe, enough understand the urgency. Science tells us we have a little under ten years left to cut our fossil fuel emissions in half....It’s why I wrote the book. This is all hands on deck moment. No matter who is elected in November, the day after the elections, we have to roll up our sleeves and demand of them that they do right by the future. Roker joined in the fearmongering: “With fires devastating the west as multiple hurricanes slam the south and record temperatures torch the east, the world’s climate is capturing headlines now more than ever before.” Wrapping up the segment minutes later, Roker applauded her dedication to the radical cause: “And she says she’s not even thinking about what acting role she wants after [her Netflix series] Grace and Frankie wraps up, because basically she’s focused on really getting that Green New Deal to become a reality and the climate crisis, to be tackling that head on.” Far-left celebrities and political activists are never considered to be controversial by the press because most in the news media are just as left-wing as their famous guests. Make no mistake, so-called “journalists” will spend the next several weeks leading up to the election pushing every cause near and dear to the Democratic Party.

AL ROKER: She has graced the silver screen for decades, an Oscar-award-winning actress and fitness guru, Jane Fonda is a Hollywood icon. But she says her greatest role and passion come from another place. At this point, do you see yourself more as an activist who’s an actor or actor who’s an activist? JANE FONDA: Well, ever since 1970, I’ve seen myself as an activist who’s an actor. And then there was a period of time when they overlapped, which was my happiest time, especially at my age, you know, acting is like, “Am I going to get another job?” But activism is there, I live and breathe and sleep and eat it. ROKER: Fonda was a prominent protester of the Vietnam war and ally of the social justice movement, but she says she wants her legacy to be her dedication to the climate crisis.

FONDA: In the beginning, who knew, some aging movie star’s gonna bop into D.C. and raise a ruckus and maybe people were gonna say, “Get out of here.” I didn’t know whether it was going to catch on. But it did catch on. ROKER: Now, in her new book, What Can I Do?, she’s got simple steps in growing the movement from simple awareness into activism.
