George Lopez said he admires Donald Trump because he doesn’t apologize for what he says.
During an interview with CNN about the election Wednesday, Lopez talked about the Republican presidential candidate tweeting out a photo of him eating a taco bowl on Cinco de Mayo. (RELATED: Is Donald Trump Getting Replaced By George Lopez?)
Happy #CincoDeMayo! The best taco bowls are made in Trump Tower Grill. I love Hispanics! https://t.co/ufoTeQd8yA pic.twitter.com/k01Mc6CuDI

“People say that Donald Trump is good for comedians,” Lopez said. “You know the one thing that I admire about Donald Trump is he does not apologize. He is politically incorrect.”
“He goes after people,” Lopez continued. “He attacks people. He’s not fodder for comedians — he is a comedian. He makes believe to be his own publicist.”
“He says that the taco bowl at the Trump tower is the best taco bowl in the world — comedy.”
But Lopez clarified that he does not take Trump seriously.
“I’ve never taken him seriously, absolutely not,” he said. “Listen the one thing that he’s done that Latinos have not been able to do is get Latinos to unite against him.”
“You know, I believe that to make America great you need all people here. I don’t believe that targeting Mexicans as criminals and rapists is the answer. I don’t believe that building a wall is an answer.”
When the host asked him if he was familiar with the tweet Trump posted on Cinco de Mayo, Lopez said yes.
“I do follow Donald Trump on Twitter and I’m really hard on him to get him to block me,” he said. “And he will not block me and I’m going to continue to go hard on him.”
