Jane Fonda slams Bill Maher for calling far-left 'nutty on so many issues': 'Finally met his match'

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Comedian Bill Maher was called out by Hollywood veteran Jane Fonda for deriding the far-left, when she appeared on the Sunday December 1 episode of his 'Club Random' podcast.

According to OK! Magazine, the two celebrities got into the finer points of their differing political beliefs on the show, with Maher blaming the far-left at one point for Republican nominee Donald Trump becoming the president-elect following the 2024 election.

Disagreement between Bill Maher and Jane Fonda

Bill Maher believed that the "nutty" far-left pushed the centrist voters in the United States to back Trump in the November election, a candidate whom both he and Fonda disliked.

"There’s about a third of this country that’s very hard right. Of course they love Trump. When he left office, he had an approval rating of 34%. So, he really only had those people. Why is he now, like, tied?" noted Maher.

"Because the other part of the coalition are people who … they don’t really like him that much. They just think the far-left has gone so nutty on so many issues."

However, Fonda did not subscribe to his view and refused to let the remark slide, saying, "That’s what they’re being told…by people like you."

She went on to ask whom exactly Maher considered to be the "far-left." Maher then explained that Fonda and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), in his opinion, represented the ideology.

He also brought up the idea of men becoming pregnant, claiming that he believed it was different from a trans person becoming pregnant.

Fonda responded to the issue saying, "I've never heard about this argument. It must be some part of what you call the far left that is so minuscule."
