Hollywood actor Robert De Niro found himself in a heated exchange with pro-Trump protesters during a news conference held by US President Joe Biden’s campaign. The actor, known for his outspoken views on Trump, warned about the dangers of re-electing the former president, stating that it would mean the end of freedoms and fair elections.
As De Niro was leaving the conference, he clashed with protesters who called him a “paid sell-out.” The actor fired back, calling them “gangsters” and emphasizing the difference between the Democrats and their opponents.
This is not the first time De Niro has faced backlash for his anti-Trump stance. Last December, he criticized organizers for editing out his mention of Trump during a speech at the Gotham Awards. De Niro expressed frustration with the editing and refused to thank certain sponsors during his speech.
Trump, in response to De Niro’s comments, criticized the actor for his language and called him a “total loser.” The former president accused De Niro of focusing on others’ lives instead of his own.
The altercation between De Niro and Trump supporters highlights the deep divide in American politics and the strong emotions surrounding the former president. What do you think of De Niro’s views on Trump and his confrontation with protesters? Let us know your thoughts.
