'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.

The head of Marvel Studios is promising Captain Marvel is the new leader of the MCU instead of Iron Man. Good luck with that. Endgame will be a record-breaker, but it’s going to be dark days for Disney from there on.

That’s perfect for this ridiculous fool, but I can’t take credit for it.

I believe I saw that handle assigned to him by someone else on this website, but I cannot recall who as it was a while back.

He can do whatever he wants because the Left actually boycotts while the Right whines and complains but mostly still shows up.

Jussie “The Butt Pirate” Smollett is the pitcher, and Chris “The Cabin Boy” Evans is the catcher.

It used to be that man who did action movies or played superheroes might be assumed to be conservative...

Chrissie probably did "gay action" movies to start his ca-rear.

Q: How did Chris Evans circumcise Jussie Smollett?

A: He lined his @ss with fiberglass...

;-)

if he didn’t speak out against “dumb shit” President Donald Trump

Chris Evans, "dumb shit", didn't even go to college.

Wonder what his HS grades were like, being the dumb shit that he is.

If these movies don’t make double their production cost within a week after release (Production + marketing and advertising), they are called, “Bombs.”

FReepers should just wait about a month after it’s released and watch it then, or wait for the DVD.

Just a thought.

So, just another in a very long line of leftist uninformed and irresponsible sites.
