Trump: Spike Lee Did A “Racist Hit” On Me Last Night

The Independent reports:

Donald Trump has launched an attack on filmmaker Spike Lee, accusing him of “a racist hit on your President” during his Oscars speech. The president was seemingly responding to comments made by the director while accepting the Best Adapted Screenplay award for the movie BlacKkKlansman.

Lee said during Sunday night’s ceremony: “The 2020 presidential election is around the corner. Let’s all mobilize, let’s all be on the right side of history, let’s choose love over hate, let’s do the right thing.” It is not clear what in Lee’s speech Trump considers racist.

Be nice if Spike Lee could read his notes, or better yet not have to use notes at all, when doing his racist hit on your President, who has done more for African Americans (Criminal Justice Reform, Lowest Unemployment numbers in History, Tax Cuts,etc.) than almost any other Pres!
