Peter Fonda Apologizes for ‘Highly Inappropriate’ Barron Trump Tweet: ‘I Went Way Too Far’
Peter Fonda apologized on Wednesday after suggesting on Twitter that someone put Barron Trump “in a cage with pedophiles” in order to get President Donald Trump to do something about children being separated from their families at the 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 in a statement. “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.
