Filmmaker Spike Lee this weekend compared the previous President Trump
More than two-thirds of Americans approve of the response to Biden’s coronavirus: Sarah Huckabee Sanders poll to run for president of Mexico presents positive tests for COVID-19 MORE to Adolf Hitler in a video receiving an award for his new short film, “New York, New York”.
“We are at a crossroads now, and everyone, please, be safe. This is not a game. These people were given weapons with ammunition, ”Lee said in a video recorded on January 6, the same day as the deadly Capitol riot. The video was shown during the annual New York Film Critics Circle virtual ceremony, reports The Hollywood Reporter.
Lee added: “I hope to God that I’m wrong, but people are going to die behind that shit. This president, President Agent Orange, will go down in history with people like Hitler. These guys – all his boys – are going the wrong way. “
Lee has made several criticisms of Trump 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”.
In accepting his first Oscar in 2019, Lee spoke indirectly against Trump’s re-election without naming the then president.
“The 2020 presidential election is coming. We are all going to mobilize, ”said Lee upon receiving the award. “We will all be on the right side of the story. Make the moral choice between love and hate. “
Trump tweeted in response to Lee’s speech, “Be nice if Spike Lee could read your notes, or better yet, he wouldn’t have to use notes when making his racist coup on his president.”
