With the recent confirmation of Jeff Sessions for Attorney General of the United States, Chris Evans has proved to us just how much he is like his film counterpart, Captain America. Evans recently tweeted his disappointment in the confirmation of Sessions. And his argument? David Duke’s praise for Sessions:
If David Duke….DAVID!…DUKE!… thinks you're right, then you are unequivocally wrong. The confirmation of @jeffsessions is beyond words. https://t.co/CuLUznwO6S

Duke is best known as a white nationalist, Holocaust denier, and former Imperial Wizard of the white supremacist organization known as the Ku Klux Klan. He also happens to support Donald Trump and his team, especially fellow white nationalist Steve Bannon.
Like an angry troll, Duke responded:

Evans quickly clapped back with proof of Duke’s racist history with some quotes made by the former KKK wizard.
well if these nuggets of bigotry are some of your OTHER thoughts, then I stand by my original tweet https://t.co/YSrOCDuyBw

Duke did not respond to Evans but continued posting anti-Semitic tweets, like the villain he is. Evans didn’t stop there. He then dropped some knowledge to his 4.93 million followers.
We can't let hatred be the loudest voice. https://t.co/bqRPRXo453

Chris Evans truly is our Captain America.
Got yer back, Cap! Keep fighting these racist bastards all the way to the steps of the White Power House!
this makes me like him even more as a person
He shows so much more courage than the majority of our elected officials. This is when our Congresspersons should be hammering it into their districts that EVERYONE that did not vote appointed this racist.
Instead of only marching in the face of injustice and atrocity we should schedule marches before every congressional election!
