On Thursday, news spread that Stewart – who was best known for playing Captain Jean-Luc Picard on “Star Trek: The Next Generation” and Professor Charles Xavier in the “X-Men” franchise – had died at the age of 86 following a battle with Alzheimer’s disease and Lewy Body Dementia. That led to an outpouring of messages about the actor, including one from President Donald Trump’s deputy chief of staff for policy.

“One of the most impactful actors in the history of film, television and theater,” Miller wrote on social media.

Wheaton, who played Wesley Crusher on “Star Trek: The Next Generation” as a teenager opposite Stewart, did not care for Miller – whose politics and ideals were in direct conflict with Stewart’s own – speaking out about his late co-star. And so, he fired back at the White House staffer on his Threads account.

“Stephen Miller, on behalf of Star Trek, and everyone who knew and loved him, keep my Captain’s name out of your f–king Nazi mouth,” he wrote. “He despised you, and everything you stand for.”

      Yeah, how dare he call them Nazis?! They are simply a crew of innocent white supremacists who use Nazi rhetoric, praise neo-Nazis, read and admire Nazi literature, and throw Nazi salutes. Where could he have possibly got the idea that they’re Nazis?

        it’s a bot account. looking at their comment history it’s all Spanish, except for this one little comment.

        if not bot, troll.

          Portuguese, not Spanish (but close enough lol). I wonder if it’s a wayward bot from Bolsonaro’s bot farm? He probably just forgot to turn one off when he fled to the US.

          No one even mentioned the word “idiotic”. I, however, think you’re an utter fucking moron. This is probably a correct assumption, as you have to either be a complete moron, or a morally corrupt rich person to enjoy far right politics. I don’t think you’re the latter.

        When the genocide is of people who had time and chances to try and prevent/stop its terrorist groups, it’s a little justified, don’t you think? If I knew my country had a terrorist group and didn’t do anything about it, you’d feel somehow betrayed when my terrorists attacked your country.

          …genocide… …it’s a little justified…

          Wow, just, wow…

          But, not surprising coming from a Trump supporter.

          you can’t ‘justify’ a genocide. and a genocide targets the innocent, specifically. i could say the same thing about israel.

          you can not justify the murder of a people because of “terrorism”. you sound just like the germans who justified the holocaust after WWI

      Fyi. German Nazi’s targeted many groups/identities. Not just Jews.

      They believed they were superior and anyone different deserved death and worse.

      They believed this was divinely sanctioned. God decided the white Aryan race was the best one. Not them.

      God decided they were special and should take whatever they want and murder and abuse anyone who might reproduce who wasn’t their type. Because those people aren’t like them. They don’t count.

      Does that not sound like Zionist?

      I mean. Literally. Exactly the same belief.

      And the same violent behaviors.

      A country full of Jewish people and lead by Zionists, the latter being LOVED by Nazis as it basically fulfills their doomsday deathcult wetdreams about the middle east blowing itself up so that they can take the holy land for themselves.
