Teddy Turner: Jane Fonda Turned My Dad Into a Liberal

 

Ted Turner was transformed from a staunch conservative into a bleeding-heart liberal by none other than one-time wife Jane Fonda, according to the media mogul’s outspoken so

 But when the senior Turner moved to the left and then expressed an interest in running for president, Fonda deep-sixed the idea by saying she’d dump him, Teddy Turner told Steve Malzberg on Newsmax TV’s “The Steve Malzberg Show.’’

“I was raised in a different time at the Turner household … a very conservative household with capitalism and all of that kind of stuff,’’ Turner said. 

But in 1991, when the senior Turner wed the Oscar-winning actress and exercise guru — once labeled “Hanoi Jane’’ for her controversial support of the North Vietnamese — things changed dramatically. 

“He started becoming more and more environmentalist and then Jane helped move things over as well,’’ said Turner. “Then when you start hanging around and everybody you’re hanging around with is liberal, then you tend to move more liberal.’’
