'Set phasers to DUMBA*S'! Bill de Blasio claiming he's dressed as Captain Kirk during presser goes HILARIOUSLY wrong

Make it STOP.

Mayor Bill de Blasio *says* he’s dressed as Captain Kirk, but nerds familiar with the matter tell me that shirt is in fact not what the character wore. This is why attribution is important. pic.twitter.com/bAEWdAg6Ec

Listen to the nerds when it comes to Trek.

Always.

De Blasio, when asked by @C_Sommerfeldt about this:
"I always say I'm going to give credit where credit is due to the media. That's a good catch. I like the blue a lot, but you're right, it's historically inaccurate, but I'm still gonna wear it, because now we bought it."

And the only character he likely knows is Kirk.

Painful.

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA

Spock or McCoy, maybe. 🤔

Anyway, it's cringe.

Spock.

This knit-wit can’t even get Star Trek right. Kirk always wore a gold command shirt. That color is something Spock and Dr. McCoy wore.@awstar11 @KenGardner11
