WASHINGTON —
Peter Fonda has apologized for what he says was a “vulgar” tweet that attacked the administration over the
family separation policy.
First Lady Melania Trump’s communications director, Stephanie Grisham, confirmed that the Secret Service had been contacted about Fonda’s tweet.
“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 at the border, but I went way too far. It was wrong and I should not have done it. I immediately regretted it sincerely apologize to the family for what I said and any hurt my words have caused.”
