“Transparent” creator Jill Soloway says Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump is “one of the most dangerous monsters,” comparing him to Hitler.
Soloway made the comment speaking to reporters backstage at the Emmys after winning the best director prize. She said, “Any moment that I have to call Trump out for being an heir to Hitler, I will.”
During its second season “Transparent” related the current state of transgender people to the situation facing Jews in Nazi Germany before the Holocaust.
Soloway said Sunday that Trump, like Hitler, has “otherized” people to gain political power, including, disabled people, Muslims, Mexican-Americans and women who don’t “look like beauty pageant contestants.”
