Jane Fonda on U.S. election: 'The future of the planet is at stake'
Raw StoryActor and activist Jane Fonda took aim at Republican U.S. presidential nominee Donald Trump and his climate-wrecking plans in comments published Monday from her wide-ranging conversation with CBS News, The Guardian, and Rolling Stone. Trump "invited all the CEOs of the fossil fuel industry to Mar-a-Lago" and promised to roll back the Biden administration's progress on the climate crisis for just $1 billion in campaign cash, Fonda highlighted, warning that "the future of the planet is at stake." "We have the solution to the climate crisis, why don't we employ it, instead of allowing a bunch of rich people to destroy everything that's been created by humankind?" The group only endorses candidates who don't take money from the fossil fuel industry, which she said has a "stranglehold over our government." "We've had so many moderate Democrats that blocked the climate solutions we need because they take money from the fossil fuel industry," she noted.
