'Empire's' Lee Daniels on Donald Trump: "He's Coming In to Take us Down"
Hollywood Reporter ^ | 3/20/16 | Farnoush Amiri

"Let's do the right thing and make sure Clinton is in that f—ing office and taking care of us," said the show's co-creator at the Human Rights Campaign Gala.

Empire co-creator Lee Daniels appears to think it's time for people to start taking Donald Trump seriously.

"I'm not afraid of anything," Daniels said. "I've dodged bullets — real bullets before — but now I'm afraid because these motherf—ers are coming for us, y'all."

Speaking at the Human Rights Campaign Gala in L.A. on Saturday night, Daniels pressed the audience "to do the right thing" and vote for Hillary Clinton. While he never mentioned Trump by name, he said during his remarks: "He's taking over — he's coming in to take us down, y'all, and this is serious business. Let's do the right thing and make sure Clinton is in that f—ing office and taking care of us."

Make sure Clinton is in that office taking care of you? Huh? That’s like saying “Let me gargle with Drano to freshen my breath”. Another moron who has absolutely no idea who Hillary is

Garbage people generally populate the popular “culture”, what kind of thinking can you expect from them?

Oh, I think I see the paranoia. He is a homosexual.

Did not know that before. No wonder his "hit" show "Empire" has to have a character thusly.

Keep stirring the pot of race baiting, Lee Daniels. It’s good for his business. Poor, frightened victims can be made into faithful consumers of preferred products and services.

I think you’re wrong unfortunately. If Hillary does not keep the goodies flowing she’s a one term Prez. My former self would have fallen for this hook, LINE & sinker. Now I just shake my head in astonishment. She will keep victim hood alive & well.

Lee, you and your friends have been coming for the rest of us for a long time now, and have controlled our lives in one way or another. In a democracy, or in our Republic, there are supposed to be ways for us to protect ourselves from those with power and influence who have no concern about what happens to us. There is a huge swath of America that you and your friends make fun of, and look down on. Now that a broad and diverse groups from this ‘swath’ are fighting back you don’t like it. You may persevere, but if you do it will only be temporary.

I think it’s pretty true to life that the character who is, is really looked down on by his father and pretty much despised by the hip-hop/black community.

This dufus needs to STFU. Adults take care of themselves. All I need is for this bloated government to take its’ hands out of my pockets, leave me more of my hard-earned money, and leave me the h*ll alone. I do not need more government intervention, I need a great deal less.
