Jane Fonda has spoken out about Donald Trump’s attack on the media, comparing him to Adolf Hitler.

Speaking at the Women’s Media Center Awards in New York, the Oscar-winning actor noted similarities between the sitting president and the Nazi party leader.

“If you have read anything about the rise of the Third Reich and Adolf Hitler you will see the parallels,” Fonda said. “Attacking the media is the first step and move toward fascism. The cornerstone of democracy is an independent, democratic media. And it’s under attack in a major way because bad guys are running it all. We have to make sure it doesn’t continue.”

With just days to go before the midterms, the 80-year-old star of Klute and Book Club stressed the importance of going out to vote. “It has never been more important,” she said. “Our democracy is fragile and it’s under attack. Civility is under attack. We don’t have to take it any more. Voting is the way to stop it. Everybody has to vote and I think they will.”

Last month, Fonda told Politico that she hated what Trump stands for but also urged “radical kinship” and a great understanding of where he’s come from.

“I feel that I understand a little bit – this is a man who was traumatized as a child by his father, who had a mother that didn’t protect him,” she said. “And the behavior is the language of the wounded.”

The president has repeatedly referred to the press as the “enemy of the people” even after Cesar Sayoc, a devoted Trump supporter, sent an explosive device to CNN. “There is great anger in our Country caused in part by inaccurate, and even fraudulent, reporting of the news,” he tweeted this week. “The Fake News Media, the true Enemy of the People, must stop the open & obvious hostility & report the news accurately & fairly.”
