Peter Fonda apologizes to Trumps for 'highly inappropriate and vulgar' tweet

Peter Fonda apologizes to Trumps for 'highly inappropriate and vulgar' tweet calling for Barron to be 'ripped from his mother's arms and put in a cage with pedophiles' – AFTER first lady talks with Secret Service

Oscar-winner also called for addresses of ICE agents to be hacked and released

He said 'we should find out what schools their children go to and surround' them

Added: 'We need to scare the f*** out of [border agents]! Need to make their children worry now'

Actor said Kristjen Nielsen should be stripped naked and whipped in public

Rant about family separation at the border branded president a 'f****** monster'

Actor Peter Fonda apologized Wednesday afternoon for a threatening tweet in which he said Americans upset with the White House's separation of illegal-immigrant families 'should rip Barron Trump from his mother's arms and put him in a cage with pedophiles.'

The first lady's office conferred with U.S. Secret Service about the incident. The agency wouldn't say on Wednesday whether it had contacted the aging Oscar-winner directly.

Fonda issued a statement hours later, shortly after President Donald Trump signed an executive order forbidding the government from detaining children separately from the adults who brought them across the U.S.-Mexico border.

'I tweeted something highly inappropriate and vulgar about the president and his family in response to the devastating images I was seeing on television,' Fonda said.

'Like many Americans, I am very impassioned and distraught over the situation with children separated from their families at the border, but I went way too far. It was wrong and I should not have done it. I immediately regretted it and sincerely apologize to the family for what I said and any hurt my words have caused.'

His apology came after the Secret Service was called, you forgot the sarcasm tag.

Clearly, the guy is a threat to public safety. He's inciting violence against many he politically disagree's with.

This is way beyond an apology. This scumbag needs to be perp marched in an orange jumpsuit to GITMO in chains to face a military tribunal for advocating violent acts of sedition against sworn agents of the United States and advocating violence against a sitting President and his family.

Apology? HELL NO! Hang the commie bastard!

Why is a person his age tapping away on social media, ranting like an unsupervised child who leaps into mischief the first chance he gets? Curse words, whoo-hoo!

Disturbing on a number of levels.

Apparently he really was writing these screeds. Seems that real celebrities hire the little people to man these accounts.

Why didn't the SS pick him up and send him to a holding pen/jail, until his trial is set?

Exactly!

This will not stop until the SS follows through.

Roseann apologized - for all the good it got her. Too bad the Left doesn’t practice what they preach.

“I am very impassioned and distraught over the situation with children separated from their families at the border...”

I had to quit listening to any news the past few days. It seems more people are more interested in expressing how distraught they are than the plight of the children. They are wounded to the bottom of their hearts. Like mentioning the abuse and danger they underwent getting here. There was an item about a FOUR year old girl who was sent here alone.

is the studio going to pull his movie from the theater? What he wrote was FAR worse than what Roseanne wrote.

Better that that is the year round coyote season.

Agreed. Leftist Hollywood Commie Scum are losing their minds.. They are seriously becoming a physical threat to all right-thinking people.

His entire twitter feed - over a period of time - is full of hate. This was no aberration. He also called for riots in the streets over this (while making it clear he wouldn’t participate.)

I assume the people who are releasing whatever movie he’s appearing in got after him. And Jane ain’t feelin’ the love on her twitter page.

“I immediately regretted it...”

BIG FAT LIE.

His timeline showed he was proud of all of his deranged tweets.

He regretted nothing.

Apology not accepted.

Sony must be worried about his new movie coming out of Friday.

Actor said Kristjen Nielsen should be stripped naked and whipped in public...

Would he say the same thing about Jeh Johnson?
