Marjorie Taylor Greene lashes out at Jane Fonda for her dark joke about ‘The View’

On Friday’s show, the Oscar winner and activist lamented lawmakers enacting a series of extreme abortion restrictions since the fall of Roe v. Wade when the co-host joy behar he asked what could be done besides marching and protesting.

“Well, I’ve thought about murder,” he said, before pausing for effect.

Lily Tomlin, who co-stars with Fonda in “Moving On,” a dark revenge comedy that opens next Friday, asked for clarification on the comments.

“What did you say?” Tomlin asked.

“Murder,” Fonda repeated.

Behar sprang into action and insisted that Fonda was “Just kidding, he’s just kidding,” before noting that pro-lifers “will pick up on that and move on.” She wasn’t wrong. (Watch the exchange as of 2:25 below.)

Shortly thereafter, Greene, a self-proclaimed “uNapologetic pro-life politician,” expressed outrage at the exchange in Twitter.

The controversial congresswoman wrote that she routinely receives death threats “Because of the nasty women on ‘The View’ and the things they say about me.” (Not a word about the violence of his own rhetoric: Saying that “Democrats want Republicans dead” and calling for a “national divorce” – could inspire.)

“Calling for us to be killed makes ‘The View,’ the hosts, the producers, the network, the advertisers and all involved responsible for death threats, attacks and possible assassinations of politicians and Pro-Life activists,” he continued.

“While women’s reproductive rights are a very serious issue and extremely important to me, my comment on ‘The View’ was obviously a joke,” Fonda said in an emailed statement. “My body language and tone made it clear to those in the room, and to anyone watching, that I was using hyperbole to make a point.”

“Women across the country face real threats when it comes to our bodies, and people lose faith in our mission to protect women when others choose to focus on tangential and joking issues instead of the actual issue at hand,” added.

A request for comment to “The View” was not immediately returned.

Greene ended his tweet with the kind of diplomatic wording that has become a hallmark of his political reputation.

“By the way @Janefonda your eggs are dry so you don’t have to worry about getting pregnant anytime soon, so you can retire from demanding baby murder now,” she wrote.

It is worth noting that in 2021, CNN discovered that before she was elected to Congress, Greene “liked” numerous social media posts suggesting executing the then-Speaker of the House nancy pelosi (D-California) and fbi agents

His apparent support for executing prominent Democrats as well as her adoption of racist and antisemitic conspiracy theories led the House to vote to strip it of committee assignments during the last Congress.
