    Event comes one week after Biden hosted veterans outreach roundtable

    The Biden campaign, which has bombarded President Donald Trump with attacks about his respect for U.S. soldiers, will be campaigning this weekend with Jane Fonda, a celebrity best known for fraternizing with enemy troops during the Vietnam War.

    Democratic vice-presidential candidate Kamala Harris is set to join Fonda at a Saturday virtual event held by progressive advocacy group Supermajority. The event—titled "Supercharge: Women All In"—will "bring together thousands of women to laugh, sing, dance, and celebrate women's political power," according to the group's website.

    Fonda traveled to North Vietnam in 1972 as part of an anti-war protest that saw her pose for photos with enemy troops on an anti-aircraft gun. The photo sparked outrage among Vietnam veterans, earning her the nickname "Hanoi Jane." Fonda's public appearances remain subject to controversy—a group of Ohio veterans called on the actress to donate her $83,000 speaking fee to the families of fallen soldiers ahead of a May appearance at Kent State University.

    Harris and Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden have criticized President Donald Trump on veterans' issues in recent weeks. During a September "veterans roundtable," Biden criticized Trump for ignoring "the bounty on the heads of Americans in Afghanistan," referencing a slew of June reports that claimed Russia bribed the Taliban to kill U.S. servicemen. One day before the roundtable, Marine Corps general Frank McKenzie—who oversees military operations in the region—told NBC News that a review of U.S. intelligence failed to corroborate the alleged bounties.

    Harris promoted the roundtable in a tweet, saying American veterans "sacrifice so much for our nation and deserve our respect and gratitude, both while on active duty and after." The Biden campaign did not respond to a request for comment on her upcoming appearance with Fonda.

    Fonda has long supported Harris financially, contributing nearly $6,000 to the Democrat's Senate campaign since 2016. The actress also gave $1,000 to the Biden Victory Fund in June after donating a combined $10,300 to Sens. Elizabeth Warren (D., Mass.) and Amy Klobuchar (D., Minn.), Democratic governors Steve Bullock (Mont.) and Jay Inslee (Wash.), and billionaire Tom Steyer during the presidential primary.

    Saturday's event will also be attended by Warren, twice-failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.), and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.). It will feature a "yelling room where participants are encouraged to scream out their emotions," according to event organizers.

    Supermajority was launched in 2019 by a group of progressive activists, including former Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards and Black Lives Matter cofounder Alicia Garza. The group has raised $2.5 million in 2020, with $2 million coming from liberal billionaire George Soros's Democracy PAC. Supermajority aims to train and mobilize "a community of all ages, races, and backgrounds to fight for gender equality together," according to its website.

    Fonda in 2017 said she does not regret her trip to Hanoi during the Vietnam War but does regret the infamous photo with North Vietnamese troops. She added that while she is not "proud of America today," she is "proud of the resistance."

    "I'm proud of the people who are turning out in unprecedented numbers and continue over and over again to protest what Trump is doing. I'm very proud of them, that core," Fonda said.

    Yeah has to pander to both sides.
    Pretend like he cares about veterans, then appease the anti war hippies.
    Bidens war record sucks. He appears to be a forever war enthusiast.

    Hanni Jane.- I thought the bitch was dead. (just damn)

    I was at the PX @ Nellis some years back when they put out some of her exercise videos.

    I found the manager and said I wouldn't be responsible for what would happen if they stayed on the shelf....

    he walked out and pulled them himself. He knew what would happen - still took a ration of ...err..poop for putting them up in the first place.

    They know where it is and threaten to use it every time someone gets elected that they disagree with. Problem is they never follow through on the threat.

    If you don't love it, leave it... And, don't come back!

    If I had ANY inclination to give Old Two Blasts my vote, it died with hhis VP Pick... but putting Hanoi Jane on the stand beside him OR his VP Pick, put me over the “Hell No” line by miles....

    Seems that some folks do not think there will be a down side with having the $itch flop her bony a$$ down along side them in public. There can be no greater example, for the American people and Veterans, of the little regard these commi SOB's have for those that put their lives on the line for their brothers..

    Perhaps, it could be they realize that most of us would not vote for Joe and the scank in the first place.

    This is just another slap in the face to all us Vietnam veterans, but it does not surprise me. Bidumb has destroyed our military with his Woke bull shit. If this bitch is really in a wheel chair I hope a dirt nap is in her very near future along with Bidumb. On a side note what the hell is taking these republicans so long to impeach and jail slowjoes ass
