Actor George Takei took to Twitter on Friday to tell Americans that they “can endure higher prices for food and gas” if it means retaliating against Russian President Vladimir Putin. The actor went on to call the raising prices “a patriotic donation.”
“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,” Takei wrote.
The actor was quickly slammed in the comment section of his post, with one Twitter user proclaiming, “Unnecessary pain/suffering by the middle class isn’t ‘patriotic’ you dolt.”
“Millionaires don’t speak for working people,” another tweeted.
“Donations are typically voluntary,” another Twitter user pointed out.
“Can you believe this totally out of touch Hollywood elite? Who is this ‘We’ he speaks of?” another commented.
“Wait but we are still buying 10% oil from Russia and the gas price is the highest ever,” another wrote.
Takei’s comments come amid Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, and while American suffer under an ever-increasing inflation.
During his State of the Union address last week, President Joe Biden highlighted numerous new American sanctions on Russia in response to its invasion of Ukraine — yet the president has failed to sanction Russia where it hurts, refusing to halt U.S. imports of Russian oil, explained Alfredo Ortiz.
On Friday, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) pointed out that the Biden administration is not sanctioning Russian oil in part because they are relying on Russia to mediate a deal with Iran.

For a little while. But I have a feeling this is not going to be a little while.

Well, lets pass a law that ensures the little queeny pays 150 dollars a gallon for gas ... see how patriot she is then.
Chuck you, Farley.
George, if I told you to GFY you’d enjoy it.
Higher gas prices, higher food prices and war.
Good job, Leftists.
Who is George Taco?
“a patriotic donation.”
Lie.
Keystone. Leases are not permits. Why would a responsible energy company invest in new wells / output knowing Brandon and the radical progressive environmental whackos are at war with them.
No you can’t. Crop failures in China (winter wheat harvest down), poor soybean harvest in South America, now a fertilizer shortage means many people in poor countries may starve.
Hey, George....go back to packing fudge...
“Let them eat cake!”
Even at 90, he still has a career.
First off, why is it necessary for me to sacrifice for a corrupt country like Ukraine? Secondly, if not for the socialist goals of the Democrats, we would not have to suffer, and could cause greater economic harm to Russia if we just started producing oil and gas.
everything!
It would never reach back there.
What a dweeb.
On the plus side, American farmers are going to have a season of prosperity it seems.
Dear George: Please punish me by paying me. I’ll take your money if you think it is bad for me.
George, Takei the gas pump hose and shove it up your alimentary canal.
Guy is a moron. I will make it fine, though I am monumentally PO’d at Brandon. This is not necessary. Brandon is choosing to impoverish people. For more folks than he thinks, it is a choice between gas and food. Somebody, somewhere, is going to get a belly-full of Brandon’s crap when their babies go hungry. No telling what might happen then.
