[NOTE:The Secret Confessions: Wifey’s BFF Episode 48below story contains spoilers from Steve Rogers: Captain America #17so if you don't want to know, read it first and then come back.]
Captain America is now jailing reporters and talking about the outrage it will spark on Twitter.
Talk about timely.
SEE ALSO: First Hydra took Captain America, now they're taking the White HouseIn Steve Rogers: Captain Americaissue #17, released on Wednesday as part of the ongoing Secret Empirestoryline, Captain America, who has gone full Hydra, has Sally Floyd dragged off her television show set and jailed for daring to ask a question about a topic that she was told not to (the obliteration of Las Vegas which, if that seems out of left field for you, just roll with it.)
As Floyd's being dragged off by the evil Captain's goons and saying that the American people won't stand for it, Rogers notes, "I imagine people on Twitter will be furious."

Sure, many might see parallels to Wednesday night's incident in which Greg Gianforte, a GOP candidate for Congress in Montana, assaulted The Guardianjournalist Ben Jacobs.

But there's plenty more than echoes are current political climate, too.
Floyd's arrest mirrors how President Trump allegedly asked former FBI chief James Comey to jail journalists for reporting on classified information.
But wait, there's more.
Earlier in their interview, Floyd takes Captain America to task for, well, his "alternative facts" in claiming Hydra won World War II.
And Captain America also slams Floyd and others as "so-called journalists," echoing one of Trump's favorite insults.
I'm not saying Donald Trump is a super-hero-turned-evil-Nazi-like-authoritarian. After all, writer Nick Spencer and Marvel editor-in-chief Axel Alonso have already said the storyline doesn't have much to do with current political events.
Besides, these issues are prepared well in advance of publication, meaning any similarities are largely coincidental.
And comics have always been rife with modern political allegories even without being about anyone specific (see: the Civil Warsaga during the George W. Bush administration).
But, still.
@nickspencer @Marvel Just read Captain America 17. I see Donald Trump all in this!
