Former Trump advisor Stephen Miller has recently stirred controversy by accusing actress Jane Fonda of treason due to her actions during the Vietnam War. Fonda, who visited Asia during the war and was photographed with the enemy of the United States, faced heavy criticism for her protests against American involvement in the conflict. Miller’s comments, made during a Fox News segment, labeled Fonda’s actions as “high treason” for her 1972 visit to Vietnam, during which she appeared on a Vietnamese radio program condemning American involvement in the war and was photographed sitting on an anti-aircraft gun.
It’s important to note that Fonda was never formally charged with treason for these actions, and she has apologized to American veterans in the past for any hurt her actions may have caused. Despite the controversy, Fonda has remained active in public life, particularly through her environmental activism and criticism of President Biden’s handling of certain issues.
Whether or not one agrees with Miller’s characterization of Fonda as a traitor is a matter of personal perspective and interpretation of history. Fonda’s actions during the Vietnam War continue to be a subject of debate and discussion.
