LOS ANGELES - The Anne Frank Center for Mutual Respect is calling on Tim Allen to apologize for comparing the experience of being a conservative in Hollywood to living in Germany in the 1930s.
Allen, who grew up in Detroit and is a Western Michigan alum, made the comments on Jimmy Kimmel Live last week while discussing his attendance at President Donald Trumps inauguration. Of Hollywood, Allen said youve got to be real careful around here or youll get beat up. He added, If you dont believe what everybody believes, this is like thirties Germany.
In a statement , Anne Frank Center executive director Steven Goldstein calls on Allen to apologize to the Jewish people. He tells Allen that no one in Hollywood today is subjecting you or anyone else to what the Nazis imposed on Jews in the 1930s

(82,849 posts)Allen offensive remarks show just how deep his ignorance runs. After an obnoxious comment like that, he should be relegated to work in Willie Aames' Bibleman dreck and remakes of Atlas Shrugged.
