The internet is divided over Chris Evans’ response to domestic terrorism at Capitol Hill

Like so many of us regular people, celebrities reacted in shock on Wednesday as a mob of Donald Trump supporters stormed Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., just as the Electoral College votes were being officially counted to certify the election of Joe Biden.

Often somewhat vocal on political matters, Chris Evans, a.k.a. Captain America, took to social media to share his feelings. The actor tweeted, referencing the extremists, "I'm speechless. Just think of the carnage had they not been white. So many people enabled this."

Points were (vaguely) made. However, despite the fact that many zealous Marvel fans had spent the start of the riot calling for Captain America to come save the country, once Evans began tweeting, he received some mixed feedback.

Some took issue with his suggesting "many people enabled" the riot, in particular. Why? Because, in January of last year, Evans launched a political engagement website called A Starting Point. Dubbed a "vanity project" by some, it's taken heat at times for offering a bipartisan platform to all in an effort to keep all American voters better informed.

Some of the controversial figures ASP has featured include Senator Ted Cruz and Congressman Ted Yoho. So when Evans seemingly innocently tweeted about enabling, some fans came at him for being "hypocritical."

Twitter user @SpikeGhost replied to the actor with a photo of him with Cruz, writing, "this you?" Sara Samora got right to the point, tweeting, "With all due respect, ASP is one of those enablers. You allowed some of those same politicians on there, even invited Trump which he declined. We've been telling you that you can't do both sides, not in these times." 

Adding insult to injury, @Myrcella tweeted, "lmao don't forget your ~both sides~ starting point website that gave credibility to the people that uplifted this sh-t. the design was bad too." Ouch.

But it wasn't all hate. Many fans jokingly called for Evans to "suit up", while others requested that everyone "leave Chris Evans alone" as he was simply "expressing himself." No one keeps the Marvel fanbase down.

Evans has yet to acknowledge the polarizing feedback or, as many have insisted, find his shield and suit up. That title of "Best Chris," it seems, is getting tougher and tougher to hold on to.
