Donald Trump blasted Hollywood as “racist” outside the White House, adding that the industry is doing a “disservice” to the country, according to Variety.
His remarks come amid controversy over “The Hunt,” the Blumhouse film about elite vacationers hunting down blue-collar whites for sport. The film has generated backlash on Fox News and other conservative outlets. Universal has suspended marketing for the film — due out on September 27 — in the wake of the El Paso and Dayton shootings.
Trump followed up on Twitter in the afternoon, appearing to refer more overtly to the controversy over “The Hunt.”
“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!”
