'Captain America' star Chris Evans is founding father of new political website

Actor Chris Evans is starting up a political website that states its mission is "to create informed, responsible and empathetic citizens."

There is no launch date yet for the website, called A Starting Point, which Evans co-founded with fellow actor Mark Kassan and entrepreneur Joe Kiani, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

The “Captain America” star has been to Capitol Hill to conduct interviews for the website with Sens. Brian Schatz, D-Hawaii, Chris Coons, D-Del., Jeff Merkley, D-Ore., and Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, as well as lawmakers in the House.

Evans campaigned for Hillary Clinton in 2016 and is a vocal detractor of President Trump, but says he has not yet decided on a 2020 candidate to back.

"You don't want to alienate half your audience," Evans said. "But I'd be disappointed in myself if I didn't speak up. Especially for fear of some monetary repercussion or career damage — that just feels really gross to me."

Evans' uncle is Mike Capuano, a former Democratic representative from Massachusetts who was defeated in a primary in 2018.

Looney leftist and why does Murkowski have an (R) after her name when she’s obviously and clearly a (D)?

Responsible?
Informed?
Good grief, Evans, you’re a simple actor.
Emphasis on simple.
The only humans dumber than your breed are journalists and politicians.

I personally know Kassan here.. he’s an a*8hole. Don’t even need to know which direction the site will lean to. Evans is also a fag lover being at every homo parade in W Hollywood for 4 years running.

“You don’t want to alienate half your audience,” Evans said...

Didn’t he just say he didn’t care if he alienated Trump supporters?

Look at what the Leftists have boiled down to in the Trump era, and realize how mentally challenged you have to be, not to see them for what they are.

Chris, seek help...

And yet many of the “conservatives” here will gleefully and gullibly contribute to his cause every time they pay to see one of his movies, because they are too ignorant to connect the dots.

Chris Evans plays the part of an America Defending super-hero.

Then in real life he backs the single most dangerous ideology opposed to the United States, it’s Constitution, Founders, and Founding principles.

Then he announces he wants to create a venue that will spread truth to the people.

If he truly did that, he would destroy himself.

He won’t be spreading truth.

We had an old spreader out behind the barn that would have been more appropriate than a supposed web site, for what he plans on spreading.
