Chris Evans Takes On Former KKK Leader David Duke, Continues to Be Captain America IRL

Feb 10 2017 - 7:30pm

Chris Evans has been candid about his feelings toward our current president [1], and the sexy, newly-single [2] Avenger continued to fight the good fight this week when he got into a Twitter row with none other than noted white supremacist, conspiracy theorist, Holocaust denier, and former Imperial Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan, David Duke. It all started when David tweeted that Donald Trump's recent cabinet appointments of fellow racists Jeff Sessions, David Bannon, and Michael Flynn are "the first steps in the project of taking America back [3]." From there, Chris took off running toward the flames like the #wokebae superhero he is.

If David Duke....DAVID!...DUKE!... thinks you're right, then you are unequivocally wrong. The confirmation of @jeffsessions [4] is beyond words. https://t.co/CuLUznwO6S [5]

Typical dumb actor - if everything I say is wrong, then when I say I oppose these Zionists wars, you must be for them, Captain America!? https://t.co/fsxQHgzdWD [7]

@DrDavidDuke [9] well if these nuggets of bigotry are some of your OTHER thoughts, then I stand by my original tweet https://t.co/YSrOCDuyBw [10]
