William Shatner has been the subject of left-wing anger since he announced in May that he would not follow the lead of many in Hollywood and attack President Donald Trump.
Shatner, a Canadian, said, “I consider myself a guest here,” when asked to comment on former Star Trek cast member George Takei’s constant criticisms of the President.
On Twitter Wednesday morning, the Captain Kirk actor was asked his plans for the day. He responded by saying, “Tweet Hello. Have SJWs get offended by figuring some obtuse way to define it. Spend my day telling them off. You know, just a typical day.”

A Twitter user joked that the term “social justice warrior” was offensive, to which Shatner responded, “when are SJW’s social? When they are sleeping?”
The term SJW is offensive to social people, people who believe in justice and actual warriors. I’m sure you can think of a better word.

No, really I cannot. And when are SJW’s social? When they are sleeping? https://t.co/yMZ5b7UyMj

Fellow actor Adam Baldwin asked Shatner if social justice warriors “ever explain the difference between their ‘social justice’ and Justice?”

Shatner blasted back:
They don’t have the time. They are too busy frothing up each other to attack. https://t.co/Xn4Br181yC

A Twitter user wondered what caused Shatner to attack, he responded:
Shining a spotlight on their antics. https://t.co/OtWJrDKB7b
