Actor George Takei admitted that he is spreading false information regarding the coronavirus. The actor who became slightly famous for playing a minor character on the original Star Trek series sent out a bizarre tweet saying, “I’m starting a rumor on the Breitbart chats that Covid-19 turns you gay. That should keep a lot of these idiots at home.” It is not clear what the old actor meant by “Breitbart chats” but Breitbart is the conservative digital news outlet that triggers a lot of leftists like Takei.

He seems to be referring to the protestors around the country who are out and protesting against the excessively strict quarantine orders that have been imposed by Democratic governors. The governors seem to be more interested in grabbing more power and grandstanding to gain national attention than taking effective actions against the pandemic. The worst of these Democratic governors is Governor Whitmer of Michigan. Instead of listening to the protesters in her state and her own legislature, she has extended the lockdown period for Michigan up until the 28th of May. Instead of focusing on actual measures that will prevent the spread of the virus in her state, she seems to be bent on reducing the liberties of her constituents. Progressives like Takei like the authoritarian style of her actions, which reduces the liberties of Americans.

Rich Hollywood lefties like Takei are unable to understand the plight of ordinary Americans, like the ones who are protesting, which is why they just resort to name-calling and insulting them. Millions have lost their jobs already and the orders of governors like Whitmer are making it very difficult for them to make ends meet. The old mediocre actor does not have to worry about working because he has managed to leech off his association with a hit TV show and so, he has not done anything significant after playing a bit part in the show. He is trying to stay relevant by making controversial statements to insult the intelligence of conservatives.
