George Takei sets #TakeTheKnee phasers to HOT TAKE & melts Twitter

The controversy over the NFL’s “take a knee for the National Anthem” was missing something to put it all into global perspective, but Star Trek actor George Takei delivered:

Hint: Not NEARLY as many as would be allowed to flee the U.S. out of Trump fear.
