Chris Evans, the actor best known for playing the live-action version of Captain America, became a bit of a superhero online to some after taking on former KKK leader, David Duke. Evans took  Duke to task on Twitter over the support of Attorney General Jeff Sessions being confirmed this, with the pair engaging in a war of words.

Evans responded to a November 2016 tweet of Duke’s that praised President Donald Trump’s decision to appoint Sessions, former Breitbart chief Steve Bannon and National Security adviser Michael Flynn to posts within the administration.

Duke didn’t take the jab lightly and responded with an attack on Evans’ intelligence.

“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!?” tweeted Duke.

Evans had time today and responded back twice before moving on for the day.
