Filmmaker Spike Lee compared the former this weekend President Trump
Donald Trump More than two-thirds of Americans approve of Biden’s coronavirus response: poll Sarah Huckabee Sanders to run for president of Governor Mexico tests positive for COVID-19 MORE to Adolf Hitler in a video in which he received an award for his new short film ‘New York, New York’.
‘We are now at a crossroads and everyone must be safe, please. This is not a game. These people have guns with ammunition, ”Lee said in a video taped January 6, the same day as the deadly uprising at the Capitol. The video was played during the virtual annual ceremony for the New York Film Critics Circle, The Hollywood Reporter reports.
Lee added, “I hope to God I’m wrong, but people will be killed behind this nonsense. This president, President Agent Orange, will go down in history with the likes of Hitler. These guys – all his guys – are going on the wrong side of history. “
Lee has sharply criticized Trump several times in the past. In an interview with GQ magazine last year, Lee said Trump “will go down in history as the worst president of the United States of America.”
When Lee received his first Academy Award in 2019, he spoke indirectly against Trump’s re-election without naming the then president.
“The 2020 presidential elections are just around the corner. Let’s all mobilize, ”said Lee as he received his award. Let’s all be on the right side of history. Make the moral choice between love and hate. “
Trump tweeted in response to Lee’s speech, “Be nice if Spike Lee could read his notes, or better yet didn’t have to use notes at all, when he made his racist attack on your president.”
