On Monday, President Donald Trump attacked Spike Lee after the legendary director took a shot at him while he made a speech at the Oscars, accepting his award, Fox News informed.
“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.
Lee, after winning Best-Adapted Screenplay for BlacKkKlansman on Sunday night, urged viewers to make the “moral choice” in the 2020 presidential race, as Trump seeks re-election.
“When we regain our humanity it will be a powerful moment,” the Do The Right Thing director read from his notes.
“The 2020 election is around the corner – let’s all mobilize and be on the right side of history. Make the moral choice between love versus hate,” Lee said.
The argument between the President and Lee comes after the director appeared to show his anger while he tried to leave the Dolby Theater after the announcement that the movie “Green Book” won the Best Picture award.
He eventually got back to his seat and started a conversation with the writer Jordan Peele.
“I’m snakebitten,” Lee said while backstage. “I mean, every time somebody is driving somebody, I lose. But, they changed the seating arrangement. But, in ’89 I didn’t get nominated, so this one we did.”
