Appearing on NBC’s Tonight Show Tuesday, far-left actress and climate crusader Jane Fonda launched into an unhinged tirade in which she compared the fossil fuel industry to an abusive boyfriend and even wildly claimed that energy producers were responsible for more deaths around the world than the COVID pandemic.
While promoting Fonda’s long history of radical left-wing activism and current obsession with pushing the climate change agenda, host Jimmy Fallon urged her to advise others: “For someone just dipping their toe in the pool, or in the water, what would be the first thing you’d say? ‘Well, this is how you can get involved to help climate change.’”
Fonda began her rant with this nasty assertion about an industry that employs thousands around the world: “Well, the big focus right now is, um – us, American taxpayers, give money to the fossil fuel industry. You know, that’s kind of like dating a guy who beats you up, but you keep going out with him and giving him what he wants, you know?”
She then, without evidence, proclaimed that fossil fuel companies were responsible for millions of global deaths:
I mean, just think about this. Almost 3 million people have died from COVID over the last 15 months. Over the same time frame, three times as many people, 8.7 million people, have died because of fossil fuel-related air pollution. And we give $20 billion a year to these guys? They are bad guys.
Fonda demanded elected officials, including President Biden, end all government subsidies to the fossil fuel industry and that “not a penny more should go to these bad guys that are killing us and destroying our future.”
In response to Fonda’s unsubstantiated fearmongering, Fallon hailed her: “Jane Fonda, I thank you so much for not stopping and for doing this for over 50 years, you’re amazing.”
Back in September, NBC similarly celebrated Fonda’s leftist lunacy when Today show weatherman and fellow climate crusader Al Roker praised the “Hollywood icon” for “her dedication to the climate crisis.”
It seems there’s nothing a radical like Fonda can say that would be too outrageous for the liberal media.
Fallon’s fawning over Fonda was brought to viewers by Audi and Old Navy. You can fight back by letting these advertisers know what you think of them sponsoring such content.
Here is a transcript of the April 20 exchange:

JIMMY FALLON: For someone just dipping their toe in the pool, or in the water, what would be the first thing you’d say? “Well, this is how you can get involved to help climate change.”
JANE FONDA: Well, the big focus right now is, um – us, American taxpayers, give money to the fossil fuel industry. You know, that’s kind of like dating a guy who beats you up, but you keep going out with him and giving him what he wants, you know? I mean, just think about this. Almost 3 million people have died from COVID over the last 15 months. Over the same time frame, three times as many people, 8.7 million people, have died because of fossil fuel-related air pollution. And we give $20 billion a year to these guys? They are bad guys. So one of the first things we have to do is stop – they’re called subsidies – stop giving subsidies to the fossil fuel industry. So you can go to FireDrillFriday.com, and it will lead you to where you can find out how to do it, how to take action. Call your elected officials and President Biden, and demand that not a penny more should go to these bad guys that are killing us and destroying our future.
FALLON: Jane Fonda, I thank you so much for not stopping and for doing this for over 50 years, you’re amazing. [Cheers and applause]
