Louis C.K. is the latest public figure to criticize Donald Trump, calling him an "insane bigot" and comparing him to Adolf Hitler.
In a Saturday morning email blast announcing the sixth episode of his web series "Horace and Pete," C.K. included a lengthy postscript urging readers not to vote for Trump.
"Please stop it with voting for Trump," C.K. writes. "It was funny for a little while. But the guy is Hitler. And by that I mean that we are being Germany in the '30s. Do you think they saw the s*** coming? Hitler was just some hilarious and refreshing dude with a weird comb over who would say anything at all."
"I’m not advocating for Hillary or Bernie," he adds "I like them both but frankly I wish the next president was a conservative only because we had Obama for eight years and we need balance....Trump is not that. He’s an insane bigot. He is dangerous."
Later in the email, C.K. implores his conservative readers to vote for a different GOP candidate.
"We should choose based on what direction the country should go... If you are a true conservative. Don't vote for Trump. He is not one of you. He is one of him. Everything you have heard him say that you liked, if you look hard enough you will see that he one day said the exact opposite. He is playing you," C.K. writes.
C.K. added, "Trump is not your best. He's the worst of all of us. He's a symptom to a problem that is very real. But don't vote for your own cancer. You're better than that."
