Comedian Louis C.K. took down Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump on Saturday in the postscript of his weekly email newsletter:

Please stop it with voting for Trump. 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 shit coming? Hitler was just some hilarious and refreshing dude with a weird comb over who would say anything at all. [Variety]

In the long, scathing note, C.K. urges Republican voters to choose a different candidate, calling Trump a "cancer."

"You're better than that," he told readers.
