The Guardian reports:
Donald Trump has claimed that Hollywood is racist in a new attack on the entertainment industry. While Trump offered up no examples, his comments came after Universal’s forthcoming satirical thriller The Hunt found itself caught in controversy this week.
The film, starring Hilary Swank, imagines a vision of America that allows elites to hunt so-called “deplorables” for sport. After shootings in California, Texas and Ohio, the studio chose to temporarily pause its advertising campaign.
The fallout has been covered in detail on Fox News, including a “special panel” assembled to discuss the film’s controversial premise. The pundit Mark Steyn referred to it as a “liberal Twitterstorm fantasy.”
Liberal Hollywood is Racist at the highest level, and with great Anger and Hate! They like to call themselves “Elite,” but they are not Elite. In fact, it is often the people that they so strongly oppose that are actually the Elite. The movie coming out is made in order….

….to inflame and cause chaos. They create their own violence, and then try to blame others. They are the true Racists, and are very bad for our Country!
