Robert Gehl writes that Don Cheadle is one hell of an actor … as for his musings on Twitter … meh.

He took to Twitter on Friday to post a video of CNN guest and Trump supporter Ed Martin wearing a lapel pin. To Cheadle, the pin meant the speaker was a Nazi.

Hey, @CNN … Anybody wanna talk about my man's lovely brooch on his lapel? Anybody minding the store. #WTAF?!? pic.twitter.com/TMhtesj5ow — Don Cheadle (@DonCheadle) August 19, 2017

So here’s a close-up of the pin that Martin was wearing:

They’re not exactly the same thing. The pin, in fact, was designed by Phyllis Schlafly in 1972 for her Eagle Forum – a conservative pro-family group. Here’s the group’s logo:

And here’s a pic of the pin:

Of course, dozens of countries use eagles in their symbolic imagery. To instantly equate what appeared to be an eagle on the lapel of a Trump supporter with Nazism is the height of leftist idiocy. Just for reference, here’s a pic of an actual Nazi lapel pin:

Even nuttier? When folks told him that it wasn’t a “Nazi Eagle” pin, his fans doubled down, congratulating Cheadle for being vigilant.

He shouldn't be. Vigilance is an asset in this era even if it produces some uneasy interactions. — ❄️keith️incali? (@keithincali) August 19, 2017

“Vigilance is an asset in this era even if it produces some uneasy interactions,” one person wrote.

If “uneasy interactions” means being a complete idiot, Mr. Cheadle did that just fine.
