Hollywood actress and controversial Vietnam War activist Jane Fonda donated to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., to help her get re-elected.

According to Federal Elections Commission (FEC) records, Fonda contributed $1,000 to Ocasio-Cortez’s re-election campaign on Tuesday.

This is at least the fifth time Fonda has granted to Ocasio-Cortez since 2021.

Between January and September of 2021, the "In the Cool of the Day" actress donated a total of $850 to Ocasio-Cortez.

Tuesday’s donation is the largest one made by Fonda to the "Squad" Democrat to date and dwarfs her previous checks.

The "Monster-in-Law" actress marched against the Vietnam War in the 70s, where she was nicknamed "Hanoi Jane" and accused of betrayal after she posed behind an enemy anti-aircraft gun in Hanoi, Vietnam. She later admitted in 2018, "It’s just horrible for me to think of that," but many veterans had not forgotten that photo.

"Hanoi Jane is a traitor—she was a traitor during the Vietnam War and you cannot undo being a traitor," Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., told the Washington Free Beacon that same year. "She broadcast live from Hanoi talking about war atrocities. She would have you believe it was just one bad photograph, but I entered the army in 1970 and we consider her a traitor and that's not going to change."

"I had a facelift and I stopped because I don’t want to look distorted. I’m not proud of the fact that I had [one]," the "Circle of Love" star said.

"Now, I don’t know if I had it to do over if I would do it. But I did it. I admit it, and then I just say, okay, you can get addicted. Don’t keep doing it. A lot of women, I don’t know, they’re addicted to it," she added.

The Bronx-born congresswoman told Jane Fonda that Trump’s contempt for her is a good thing during an interview for “Fire Drill Fridays” last week. “If the worst and most authoritarian, borderline — or probably — fascistic president in modern history considers me public enemy No. 1, I think that’s a good thing. I’m doing a great job,” she said to Fonda.
