Tim Allen thinks being a conservative in Hollywood is like living in 30s Germany.

At least, he said as much during an interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on March 17.

Youve gotta be real careful around here, Allen told Kimmel after the host asked him about attending Donald Trump s inauguration. You get beat up if you dont believe what everybody believes. This is like 30s Germany. I dont know what happened. If youre not part of the group, you know, What we believe is right! I go, Well I might have a problem with that. Im a comedian, I like going on both sides.

The former Home Improvement stars comments are being met with outrage by New Yorks Anne Frank Center for Mutual Respect, which has demanded the actor apologize. In a statement posted on Facebook on March 19 , the organization wrote that Allens comments are a deeply offensive characterization that trivialize the horrors imposed on Jews in Nazi Germany.

Tim, have you lost your mind? Steven Goldstein, the centers executive director said, per the statement. No one in Hollywood today is subjecting you or anyone else to what the Nazis imposed on Jews in the 1930s the worlds most evil program of dehumanization, imprisonment and mass brutality, implemented by an entire national government, as the prelude for the genocide of nearly an entire people.

He continued, Sorry, Tim, thats just not the same as getting turned down for a movie role. Its time for you to leave your bubble to apologize to the Jewish people and, to be sure, the other peoples also targeted by the Nazis.
