Chris Evans had the chance to fight pretend Nazis as Captain America on the big screen. Now Evans in real life has called out ex-KKK leader David Duke on Twitter. 

Evans stepped into the political conversation after Duke, a white nationalist and Holocaust denier, tweeted his support of Attorney General Jeff Sessions, who was recently confirmed. To Evans, that alone is a warning sign.

About two hours later, Duke fired back, calling Evans a "typical dumb actor."  

That encouraged Evans to further call Duke out on his beliefs. 

 Evans ended the Twitter war when he said, "We can't let hatred be the loudest voice."
