For the last several Fridays, Jane Fonda has been arrested on the steps of the U.S. Capitol along with other celebrities like Ted Danson and Sam Waterstone. This Friday, she will be joined by Iain Armitage, 11, who is best known for playing Young Sheldon. Which makes you wonder if they will take him, Fonda and Paul Scheer away in handcuffs. Who would arrest a kid for free speech?
The three of them along with many others will be protesting with Fire Drill Fridays to get the word out about Climate Change and how important it is that we get a Green New Deal signed by Congress.
Hopefully, the people behind those closed doors will listen so that Armitage can grow up to be Old Sheldon.
When it comes to Fonda, DC Deputy Attorney General Brian Kim said that her case will not be prosecuted and she will not have to appear in court today. I wonder if her ex-husband, Ted Turner, called in a favor to make that happen?
