American filmmaker Michael Moore said in a recent interview with Rolling Stone that anyone who votes for Donald Trump is a “legal terrorist.”
“I want them to think about the damage they could do by being a legal terrorist on November 8th,” said Moore of Trump supporters.
"Legally, you have a right to vote on November 8,” he explained. “You can go in there and even though you're not necessarily in favor of Trump and you don't like him that much and you know he's a little crazy, you also know he's going to blow up the system. The system that took your job and house away from you. You get to get back at the system now and blow it up and this is the only day you can do it legally."
"It's no longer just Donald J. Trump on the ballot,” said Moore. “Misogyny is on the ballot. Racism is on the ballot. White privilege and elitism are on the ballot. It's not just about defeating Trump."
He later added that Trump is “not well,” and that the American people need to treat him like a person living with mental illness, going so far as to compare the Republican presidential nominee to a pedophile.
“He's not a well person and he needs help,” said Moore. “And once you realize that he has a mental illness, at that point, if you're a human being with a soul and a conscience, you want him to get help."
“At the same time, you have to protect the population from him like you do with a pedophile. A pedophile doesn't need to be in prison; they're sick. They have to be separated from us so they don't hurt children. But you have to treat it that way.”
Moore released a new film on Oct. 18 entitled, "Michael Moore in TrumpLand," in protest of Trump’s candidacy.
He's known for being a notoriously outspoken liberal.
He received a firestorm of criticism back in 2015 for his comments on the film “American Sniper,” where he called snipers “cowards,” not “heroes.”
