Spike Lee: Trump is on the 'wrong side of history'

Filmmaker Spike Lee slammed President Trump in a recent interview, referring to him as “Agent Orange” and accusing him of being on “the wrong side of history.”

Lee urged the president to “wake up, wake the f--- up” in an interview following a screening of his upcoming film, “BlacKkKlansman,” on Monday.

“He’s a man of hate, violence, and can’t be trusted to make moral decisions. We can’t be silent anymore,” Lee told Vanity Fair.

“He’s on the wrong side of history, and we are on the right side of history with this film,” the director added.

Lee similarly slammed the president following the Cannes debut of his film earlier this year and called him a “motherf---er” for his comments on last year's white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Va., in which he said "both sides" were responsible for clashes that broke out.

"Agent Orange refused to repudiate the Klan, the alt-right and the Nazis," Lee told The Hollywood Reporter in reference to Trump at the time. "'There's good people on both sides.' That's going to be on his gravestone. He's on the wrong side of history."
