Jane Fonda compares Trump administration ‘attacking the media’ with the ‘rise of the Third Reich and Adolf Hitler’

Jane Fonda spoke out against the current White House administration on Thursday.

The Oscar-winning actress took to the podium at the Women’s Media Center Awards in New York and noted similarities between Donald Trump’s attacks on the media and the rise of Adolf Hitler.

“If you have read anything about the rise of the Third Reich and Adolf Hitler you will see the parallels,’ the 80-year-old star of Klute began.

‘Attacking the media is the first step and move toward fascism. 

‘The cornerstone of democracy is an independent, democratic media. 

‘And it’s under attack in a major way because bad guys are running it all. We have to make sure it doesn’t continue,’ she added.

Trump and his staff have repeatedly called  the media ‘the enemy of the state’ since his inauguration in 2016.

He also said journalists ‘among the most dishonest human beings on earth.’

And with just a few days left until midterm elections, Fonda made the push to vote.

‘It has never been more important,’ she said. 

‘Our democracy is fragile and it’s under attack. Civility is under attack. We don’t have to take it any more. 

‘Voting is the way to stop it. Everybody has to vote and I think they will,’ she posited.
