Movie director Spike Lee has no time for the way some conservatives are attempting to spin the narrative on President Donald Trumps infamous claim about there being very fine people on both sides at the deadly 2017 white supremacist Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia.

Not buying it, Lee told CNN s Anderson Cooper on Tuesday during a discussion centered on the 400th anniversary of the first enslaved Africans arriving in North America.

You know what that is? the BlacKkKlansman filmmaker asked. Subterfuge. Shenanigans.

Lee, who frequently refers to Trump as Agent Orange, pondered earlier in the interview: Why are we still asking, Is this guy a white supremacist?

I mean, like its not even the question. I mean, the Muslim ban, all Mexicans are rapists, murderers, drug dealers, Lee continued.

And then Charlottesville. We have marching, the KKK, the alt-right, neo-Nazis, and he cant make a decision between whats right and wrong? Whats love and hate? he added. Both people, I mean, thats going to be, I mean, that quote, thats going to be attached to him. Hes going to be on the wrong side of history and thats the first thing they gonna say, that quote.
