President Donald Trump has
slammed movie director Spike Lee over the speech he gave during the just
concluded 2019 Oscar Awards. The event which held in Dolby Theatre Los Angeles
saw Spike Lee winning the Best Adapted Screenplay for his movie BlacKkklansman.
While giving his speech,
the movie director urged voters to vote right as the 2020 US elections draw
near.
“Before the world tonight,
I give praise to our ancestors who have built this country into what it is
today along with the genocide of its native people. We all connect with our
ancestors. We will have love and wisdom regained, we will regain our humanity.
It will be a powerful moment. The 2020 presidential election is around the
corner. Let’s all mobilize. Let’s all be on the right side of history. Make the
moral choice between love versus hate. Let’s do the right thing! You know I had
to get that in there.”
However, the speech was
seen as a target at Trump who responded via a tweet stating that he’s done more
for the Black Community.
“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!”, Trump tweeted.
