Why Robert Sirico Moved to the Right—and Jane Fonda Didn’t
RealClearReligion’s Nicholas G. Hahn III recently talked to Acton President Fr. Robert Sirico about Obama, Marx, and Jane Fonda: RCR: Why didn’t Jane Fonda and others in your generation follow you to the Right? Robert Sirico: There are a lot of them that are not Leftist anymore.
