Jane Fonda calls for ‘wall’ to keep White House away from Mueller probe
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Actress Jane Fonda appeared on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” and advocated for a “wall,” but not one for the southern border.
“We need a wall. No, we do. We need a wall of every single citizen in the United States, a good wall that keeps the White House away from the Mueller investigation,” Fonda told the audience on Wednesday night.
“I got nervous for a second,” Jimmy Kimmel chuckled.

“Yes, if we have to,” Kimmel agreed.

The “Grace and Frankie” star then called for marches and for everyone to write to their congressman.
“A Republican in the Justice Department recently said ‘Now is the time,’ and he’s conservative, ‘for all good men and women to come to the aid for their country,” Fonda said. “I don’t care what party you are. And one more thing- we can never again elect a leader who pits us against each other, you know. When this is over, we have to come together, all of us. I don’t care what party you belong to.”
