Spike Lee slams Donald Trump, compares him to Adolf Hitler...

Luther Vandross was outed as gay after his death.

Spike Lee is vehemently opposed to Donald Trump.

In an interview with The Daily Beast, the famed filmmaker compared the Republican presidential frontrunner to the Axis Powers, particularly Adolph Hitler, and called him out for his dangerous behavior.

He called out Trump’s claim that thousands of Muslims cheered on 9/11 as a “bald-faced lie” and said, “Here’s the thing: the United States has perfected the science of ‘the boogeyman.’ Native-Americans, African-Americans, Hispanics, Nazis, Soviets, Chinese, and now it’s the Muslims. They’re the new boogeymen.”

“And he wants to close down mosques now,” Lee said. “That’s like the Nazis. That’s like Hitler, Mussolini, the Axis Powers. You can’t do that!”

He also criticized Trump for encouraging supporters who were attacking and beating a Black Lives Matter protester. Asked if he had seen the video of the beating, Lee responded, “Oh, they beat his a**. And then after he said, ‘He needed to be roughed up!’ Donald might as well just said, ‘F*** his black a** up!’”
