Melania Trump Calls Secret Service After Actor Peter Fonda Suggests Kidnapping Barron Trump

First Lady Melania Trump’s office confirmed to The Daily Caller Wednesday that they have notified the Secret Service about actor Peter Fonda’s suggestion, in a series of since-deleted vulgar tweets, that Barron Trump should be kidnapped.

“The tweet is sick and irresponsible and USSS has been notified,” spokesperson for the first lady Stephanie Grisham told The Daily Caller.

Fonda also promoted horrific violence against DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen and called for the kidnapping of White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders's children.

Fonda also called for the public harassment of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, including harassing their children at school.

A rep for Fonda told Fox that the actor "wanted to make sure that Melania and Ivanka communicate with the president the dire circumstances of separating mothers and young children."

Donald Trump Jr. tweeted his own response to Fonda’s threats against Barron and the children of ICE agents.
