Jane Fonda said she thinks that the coronavirus is “God’s gift to the left” and said that it has “ripped the Band-Aid off who [President Donald Trump] is.”
“We are people who can help determine which way humanity goes,” the 82-year-old actress shared in a clip supporting Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden. The video was posted on YouTube by the Washington Free Beacon in a post on Wednesday.
“What a great gift, what a tremendous opportunity, we’re just so lucky, we have to use it with every ounce of intelligence and courage and wherewithal we have,” she added. (RELATED: Feminist Jane Fonda Wants To Work With Quentin Tarantino: ‘Would You Put In A Good Word For Me?’)
