She plays the part of a free speech warrior while participating in the most totalitarian movement this country has ever seen. There she was, yet again, yapping into a microphone to protest Trump’s UFC 250. The signs behind her are ablaze with pure lies - Civil Rights! The First Amendment! You can’t silence us!

And thousands more who suffer in silence, knowing there are so many things they can’t say. Only one side regularly censored users on social media, and that was the Biden administration working with the FBI. Only one side used the FBI and the CIA to censor the Hunter Biden laptop to thwart the re-election of the sitting president.…","meta_description":"Jane Fonda, like so many on the Left, is the worst kind of hypocrite.
