Dolly Parton joined her “9 to 5” co-stars Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda onstage at Sunday’s 2017 Emmy Awards for a reunion that included a jab at Donald Trump.

During the segment, “Grace and Frankie” nominees Tomlin and Fonda, both outspoken liberals, took aim at the president by comparing him to the villainous “9 to 5” boss played by Dabney Coleman.

“Back in 1980, in our movie, we refused to be controlled by a sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot,” Fonda said on stage.

Tomlin followed by quipping, “And in 2017, we still refuse to be controlled by a sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot.”

Parton looked a little uncomfortable during the exchange, even as the audience cheered. Check out the clip bellow.
