SUDBURY, MA Add Captain America to the list of those calling the president of the United States a racist. Chris Evans, from Sudbury, is better known Steve Rogers/Captain America, from the Marvel movies. And Evans, wielding Twitter as handily as Thor's hammer, chimed in on the controversy swirling around President Trump and Reps. Ayanna Pressley, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar congressional freshmen known as "the squad."
"This is racist, Biff," Evans said in quoting one of several tweets from Trump over the past three days. Biff is the bully in the "Back To The Future" franchise.
"The only thing worse than actually being hateful and racist, is casually wielding hate and racism to activate your base in an unrelenting, painfully transparent, and crushingly on-brand effort to soothe your only true devotion: feeding your insatiable ego," Evans continued.

So interesting to see Progressive Democrat Congresswomen, who originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe, the worst, most corrupt and inept anywhere in the world (if they even have a functioning government at all), now loudly......

Trump sparked a firestorm of controversy when he suggested the congresswomen "go back" to the places they came from. Only one of the four, Tlaib, was born outside America, and she's a naturalized citizen.

(14,178 posts)Seems like this last awful tweet by the racist in chief has opened the doors more and people in authority positions are speaking out more openly and bravely. I hope the levee breaks and it becomes an unstoppable flood.

(82,849 posts)Maybe we need to keep harping on Trump's racism for more than a news cycle or two. It really seems to be hurting Trump, keeping the Republicans occupied, and even Captain America comes out against him. It's an easy sell to the American public, with plenty of documentation to back it up.
