Bernie has Susan; HRC has Jane ... Fonda, that is

Jane Fonda at Tribeca: 'Hillary Clinton will be president'

The actor predicted that a woman in office could result in violent backlash, while promoting second season of Netflix’s Grace and Frankie at Tribeca film festival

“I think that deep down people feel [Clinton] can hit the ground running, even if she may not be the perfect candidate for a lot of people,” Fonda said. “She’s had the experience. The world right now is so complicated – she has the background to deal with all the complications.”

Fonda also commended Sanders on his campaign. “I’m sure glad that Bernie’s running,” she said to cheers from the crowd.

Should Clinton indeed win the Democratic nomination and the ensuing election over the Republican party, Fonda predicted “there will be violence”.

“Every time women move forward, there is going to be problems,” she said, spurred by an audience member who asked Fonda about her feminist principles. “So one of the things we have to do is help men understand why they are so threatened – and change the way we view masculinity. We have a toxic masculinity and that’s what needs to be addressed.”

NOW. She's already being held to an ugly double standard, being demanded of that she release transcripts of speeches since Sanders released ONE complete tax return - which I'm certain he had brushed up a bit.

I'm not interested in his most favorable tax return, since it was the one he chose to release from the get-go. I'm interested in his past six years prior to 2014 when he wasn't thinking about giving in to his ego to run for president. I've heard Sanders already say that they needed to "amend" prior tax returns. Why?

Now that he's released ONE complete tax return - of the one he had only released its summary of - and the media (Sanders mouthpiece, Kornacki, for one) are demanding that Hillary release ALL her transcripts? EFF NO. She could, however, just give them the link to her speech that's already out on YouTube.

Meet Hillary's amount of tax returns that she's made public, then we'll talk. Otherwise, make do with her single speech on YouTube.
