schoolboy sniping from our fake president

Your tweet is inaccurate. He did no such thing. He urged people to choose love over hate and to do the right thing. None of that is him saying 'vote against Trump.'

Bad headline assholes

We all should do that round up everyone you know to vote against this racist woman hater rapist out the white house

Did anyone watch the Oscars who wasn’t already voting against Trump?

We have the greatest president of all time.Count yourself lucky

Who listens to this clown? I don’t think he will change anyone’s mind

Sounds more like Politico, a godfather of fake news, is doing the hit job on Spike. Hey Politico, misquote much I'll answer this one: HELL YEAH YOU DO. TrumpResignNow

I am still not sure why Celebrities and MSM think they influence voters. Everyone in Hollywood and 95% of MSM came out against Trump in 2016 and he won. They’re out of touch and too stupid to realize it and keep their gobs shut.

He won for a movie called Black Kkklansman. Why does Trump think him using his speech to call out modern white supremacy is about him?

Only in Trumpworld is “a moral choice between love vs. hate” a “racist hit against your President.” Resist We made a deck of playing cards. KnowYourDeplorables

Wrong!

Please reread his speech. Trust me. If he wanted to call tRump a racist, narcissistic asshole, he could have presented a freaking slide presentation. Good luck trying to avoid prison.

TRUMPiCANS 🇺🇸

I guess he knows Hate is synonymous with Trump.

Nobody was watching the Oscars anyways , most folks watching Amazon Prime reruns .

Racists love to call others racist when there is absolutely no racism. Deflection is one of thier favorite art forms.

It's a free country. Of Lee hasn't been charged with housing discrimination.

State run media just can't hide their ignorance...

And he raided the clown closet for that outfit.

Trump clearly points out Lee’s racist propaganda.

Love vs Hate ... he never mentioned trump.

It seems Spike Lee failed to acknowledge all of those good people on the side of hate.

And that is why I did not watch or care about the Oscars, Rich Useless Hollywood Elites telling us what we should be voting for? Spike Lee, surrounded by 4 rich old white men, Hmmm where was your Bro's Spike? Does the term 'Coconut' mean anything to you? realDonaldTrump

Well, if the “shoe fits”..

Aaaaammmeeemnnn POTUS Whine whine Spike. We wouldn’t expect less. Greatness does not need eye popping clothes for identity.

Wow: SpikeLee went postal last night giving the dissonant note of the evening. He sounded incoherent & unintelligible as he struggled 2 read the paper held by his tremor ridden hands! He's consumed by racism & hatred: not a good thing for his soul. TheFive greggutfeld POTUS

Don’t mind the senile old man, he’s useless so don’t listen to his rant especially when he’s off his meds

Actual text of Spike's speech 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!

partisan political speech has no role in the Oscars

Trump found time to speak out about Spike Lee’s comment - yet like his David Duke endorsement and the white-supremacist terrorist PaulHasson, 45 needs time “to study the report.”

Thanks Spike Lee for expressing what many think.

Lol who cares what Hollywood has to say

. Lee is a racist. No other word for it.

Talk about being threatened by Hollywood. Somewhere, Meryl Streep and Kapernick are laughing and telling Spike “tag, you’re it”..

Stop giving Trump this platform, he relishes the attention. It feeds his ego.

Hi did not urge anyone to vote against Trump. Please don’t be part of the problem.

It was a benign speech. Never referenced any person or any party by name. Donnie is just terrified when people of color vote!

And the Oscar for Best Reality Show Drama Queen goes to...........realDonaldTrump

Hmmmm I wonder if those Senators got paid during that shutdown... that’s my deciding factor not to vote for him

Sick of Hollywood using award shows as a platform for their agendas. That’s not why people watch.

Nice try..

Trump completely forgets the 1st ammendment

Spike Lee is a bigot

Will someone read the 1st amendment to Trump, please?

Trump would have done the same thing...he can dish it out but can't take the heat...zTrump is weak

Spike Lee is no less a madman than Trump. They deserve each other.

I'm going to 'Do the right thing'😏

But at least Spike did not sign a MOU

Aww, poor twiddle baby, Trump is on his way out.

Spike says, 'thank you.'

The Knicks have a better chance of winning the NBA, Spike!

Hey Politico - Spike Lee never mentioned Trump’s name

Too bad he didn't talk about the fact that we know where all trump's talk about women with tape over their mouth in the back of cars came from....first-hand knowledge of what all his buddies were doing!!! And I'll bet a year's pay that he was a 'john' too!!!

tRump need to chill. I didn’t need Spike Lee to tell me not to vote for him in 2020. I didn’t in 2016 and I won’t in 2020.

Your headline is wrong, he never mentioned trump’s name.

.......and Trump usuing words like “Shitholes” or saying how good people are in the white supremacist party isn’t racist.......

The racist that Spike Lee is now and always will be, so who cares. He hates white people.

I'm with Spike Lee on this one.

Alt. U.S. Housewife altushousewife Replying to EvilBobJ Alt. U.S. Housewife Retweeted CivMilAir ✈ Well, its easier to attack a movie director vs explaining to the American public the ruse as to why Russians are at your meeting with NK in Vietnam

Since trump's hatefulness is so predictable, PLEASE don't repeat his nastiness. The sooner the news outlets ignore most things Trump, we'll all be better off.

The right side of history?

Choose love over hate. What’s racist about that?

i don't think Mr Lee said drumpf's name - he spoke in favor of Love and sanity ... quit making up $hit

Maybe media could stop covering the presidents tweets as news. Especially when they have zero bearing on reality or on, you know, governing. Christ. Fucking do better.

Spike Lee is offensive this is why people don’t watch anymore I could care less what someone from Hollywood thinks. They don’t speak for everyday Americans. They are the elitist trying to tell everyone else how to live and think. Just sick and feed up with it!

LoL...... Politico thinks Spike Lee will effect the election.

Typical liberal

Paranoia runs deep when truth hits the clown's mind. Can't wait for a president who knows how to behave, and when she calls someone out it is not for self-serving BS.

Trump should be learning his lesson on what to talk about in Vietnam.

In an Esquire interview Mr. Lee said, “I give interracial couples a look. Daggers. They get uncomfortable when they see me on the street.” Who’s the real racist?

What better endorsement to vote for Trump than Spike Lee’s hatred of him. MAGA!

Trump2020

To hell with Donald Trump.

What the hell did Obama do for his community NOTHING!!!!!👎 These Hollywood folks think they can tell us how to vote!!!! Didn't work that well in 2016, and won't definitely work in 2020! TRUMP 2020 👍👍💪💪💪💪🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💖💖

After 45 years of enjoying the Academy Awards...all this political commentary has turned the Oscar show into the DNC Rally! Will never watch it again! Ever!

This is penny-ante stuff. realdonaldtrump does stuff like because he's vain and petty, but this kind of reporting takes attention from the stupid, reckless & damaging things he does that really harm people, imperil the country and threaten international alliances.

Can't help the fact I'm white Been friend to black and brown Wasn't taught to judge by color Raised to judge by character found If you were raised to hate Skin not owned by you You by your own admission Are a racist; conversation through … … … … … …

Trump lashed out at director Spike Lee, calling the filmmaker out after he used his Oscars acceptance speech Sunday night to urge viewers to vote. There!!!! FixedIt He never mentioned this potus...Politico DoBetter

Trumpanzee enclosure in this thread

We're already divided thanks to Trump!!! Trump needs to lose- above all else we can't take a 2nd term!!!!

And how is that racist......

Isn’t that pathetic? It’s why viewers avoid the Oscars like avoiding the plague. Racist rants from ignoramuses like spike Lee. Great big boring yawn.

Trump's all traumatized from the Diversity of the Oscar winnings. I'm sure his head is exploding right now. Bravo to Spike Lee and the rest of the winners. The Oscar's winners deserved their wins. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.

Lee does not have a history of housing discrimination, but you do.

But mute on a Coast Guard skinhead w/hit list & wpns!!! 🙄 Unfit45

Nice work Spike! I dig the outfit too. I couldn't rock anything like that.

Man baby spike lee...deal with your lose like a man princess

No biggie. I urge voters to vote Trump out. He hasn't lashed out at me...yet. (BTYB: Veterans Against Trump, Feb 25, 2019)

Trump says what’s opposite . It’s a known

Ah but if Lee had said the opposite Trump would be calling him his homeboy and BFF. At least what Spike said was truth unlike everything that comes out of the dotard's mouth.

Spike2020

Check out all the chummy pictures Lee took with Trump.

Vote him out!

Trump's stand-up is hilarious, but his current series sucks.
