Outside the Manhattan courtroom where Donald Trump is on trial in his hush-money case, President Joe Biden’s campaign hosted a press conference. Actor Robert De Niro and two law enforcement officers who protected the Capitol from the Jan. 6, 2021, mob warned of the risks associated with re-electing the former president.
De Niro Makes His Statement
“Just over here, just over there, the Twin Towers collapsed. Although this area of the city resembled a deserted town, we made the commitment that we would not let terrorists alter our way of life. This city is my favorite. I do not wish to ruin it. De Niro stated, “Donald Trump aspires to destroy not just the nation but also the city, and in the end, he may ruin the entire globe.
“I don’t mean to scare you. No, no, wait—maybe I do mean to scare you,” De Niro continued. “If Trump returns to the White House, you can kiss these freedoms goodbye that we all take for granted. And elections — forget about it. That’s over, that’s done. If he gets in, I can tell you right now, he will never leave.”
Pro-Trump Demonstator Fights De Niro
On his way back to his car following the press conference, De Niro got into an altercation with some pro-Trump demonstrators who yelled at him that he’s a “little punk,” a “paid sell-out” to the Democratic National Committee, a “wannabe,” and “nobody.”
“You’re not going to intimidate,” De Niro replied. “That’s what Trump does. … We are going to fight back. We’re trying to be gentlemen in this world, the Democrats. You are gangsters. You are gangsters!”
“You’re washed up,” a protester yelled.
“F— you,” De Niro shot back.
Additionally, the Trump team held a press conference where they ridiculed the Biden campaign for hiring De Niro. Karoline Leavitt, the spokeswoman, attacked “elitist, out-of-touch Hollywood actors like Robert De Niro who have no idea the real problems that people in this city and across this country are facing.”
“The best that Biden can do is roll out a washed-up actor,” Trump campaign senior adviser Jason Miller said.
