Oh, sure! Jane Fonda says comment about murdering pro-life Republicans was ‘obviously in jest’

On Friday’s episode of “The View,” which is one of the most dim-witted programs in the history of television, Jane Fonda was asked what can be done about all the Republicans around the country who have been supporting pro-life laws. Fonda’s response was what you might expect from a peace-loving Democrat: “Murder” them.
But wait, Fonda was only kidding. Or at least that’s how Joy Behar explained it while Fonda said nothing ...
Now comes the part where there’s a backpedal that isn’t very believable.
Fonda has told the Daily Beast she was just joking:
Justin Baragona (@justinbaragona) ~ UPDATE: In a statement to The Daily Beast, Jane Fonda says her "murder" comment about abortion rights was "obviously made in jest" and that her "body language and tone made it clear" she was "using hyperbole to make a point."
Just Mindy (@just_mindy) ~ That wasn’t clear at all & Behar, to her credit, gave Fonda a chance to walk it back and Fonda refused.
Fonda actually looked a bit annoyed by Behar jumping in to say she was kidding.
Holden (@Holden114) ~ When it's one side it's a joke, when it's the other it's stochastic terrorism.
Isn’t it strange how that works?
Ho Chi Minh: Americans are flying over Hanoi. What can be done?
Hanoi Jane: Shoot 'em down!
