Actor Robert De Niro joined President Joe Biden’s campaign outside a Manhattan courtroom where Donald Trump is on trial for a hush-money case. De Niro, known for his roles in Hollywood gangster films, passionately criticized Trump and warned about the consequences of his potential re-election.
De Niro, 80, condemned Trump’s leadership, stating that Trump’s return to the White House would jeopardize American freedoms and elections. He emphasized the dangers of political violence instigated by Trump and described it as “a coward’s violence.”
During the event, De Niro praised the heroic actions of police officers Michael Fanone and Harry Dunn, who defended the Capitol during the January 6, 2021, attack. Despite facing heckling from pro-Trump protesters, De Niro stood his ground, asserting that Trump’s supporters were “gangsters.”
Following the news conference, De Niro engaged in a verbal altercation with pro-Trump protesters, defending his stance against Trump’s policies and actions. Meanwhile, Trump’s campaign ridiculed De Niro’s involvement, labeling him a “washed-up actor.”
De Niro’s passionate advocacy against Trump aligns with Biden’s campaign strategy to mobilize public support against the former president. The actor’s remarks underscore the deep political divide in the United States as the country prepares for future elections.
