Although George Takei is best known for his role as Hikaru Sulu on the popular 1960s television series “Star Trek,” he’s also a political activist and author who has remained highly engaged with the Democratic Party.
In a recent Twitter post, Takei told Americans: “We can endure higher prices for food and gas if it means putting the screws to Putin. Consider it a patriotic donation in the fight for freedom over tyranny.”
There were two serious issues with Takei’s comment, and the well-deserved backlash came quickly and severely.
The first is obvious: Takei has earned millions over the course of his decades-long acting career. For those of us mere mortals, the higher prices of food and gas are problematic.
The second problem with Takei’s remark is that he has bought into the Democrats’ latest spin that Putin is solely to blame for higher U.S. food and gas prices. Party leaders have begun to call it the “Putin Price Hike.” This canard is simply a last-ditch effort from a party that knows they’re going to be shellacked in the November midterms.
On Thursday, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported the February Consumer Price Index which showed a year-over-year gain of 7.9 percent. The December CPI was 7.5 percent and that belongs entirely to Biden. The remaining 0.4 percent and anything beyond can be attributed to Russia’s invasion, but Biden owns the first 7.5 percent.

Donations are voluntary, George.

Why should I suffer for Biden’s approval ratings?
Liberals never realize they are just one tone-deaf comment from cancellation themselves.
A “donation” is usually voluntary, George, you worthless leftist pickle-smuggler.
My sister gets a little over $11,000 a year in ss. She lives in NJ so also has property taxes to pay besides all other bills. Not much left after that George.
Every single time one of these elitists tell us to shut up and pay Biden’s price for gas I want that elite to document what is gross income is for the previous year and to document what their entire net worth is.
Once they start telling us these stats, then - and only then - will they have the right to tell everyone else to “do the right thing” and pay $5 per gallon per gallon of Brandon’s gas.
George, just because you enjoy getting reamed doesn’t mean the rest of us do.
Another rich dude telling homeless families to pay up more.
The mainstream media is a machine solely out there protecting the Antoinettes the way cops only protect government as a nation within a nation..
This little pinko fag should be ready to die.
When he dismisses his fleet of tax accountants and pays his fair share, we’ll know he’s more than just a font of brain droppings.
How about the fight against medical, social, and educational tyranny George?
He’s a great Sulu, but a typical dumbass actor.
Stick to the script, Sulu. Off script, best STFU, lest thee revealest your idiocy.
Heard he went to what used to be a real school (USAF Academy) where the present corrupt and inept weak dick administration required the cadets to listen to him lecture them on some illogical POS script on LGBT whatever). Thankfully, I know what the cadets really think (and cannot put on Facebook lest they be chastised).
What is “patriotic” about supporting the Ukraine against Russia?
Even before I knew that Sulu was a flaming fag my opinion on the main characters of TOS was:
Spock==> The best,by far
Bones==> Great
Uhura==> Great
Scotty==> Great
Checkov=> Good
Kirk===> OK
Sulu==> Terrible
Hey,Sulu...you were nothing then,you’re less than nothing today!
Oh, my!
Homosexual AND stupid.
Takei should stick with things he knows: pretending and buggery.
