Robert De Niro Warns of Trump’s Threat to Democracy at Biden Campaign Press Conference in Manhattan
The Biden campaign made a powerful statement just across the street from Donald Trump’s hush money trial courthouse in Manhattan, with none other than Hollywood legend Robert De Niro by their side. De Niro, known for his outspoken views, did not hold back as he criticized Trump, calling him a “tyrant” and accusing him of seeking to “sow total chaos.”
Speaking to reporters in support of President Joe Biden, De Niro expressed his deep connection to New York City, especially in the wake of the tragic events of September 11. He boldly stated, “Donald Trump wants to destroy not only the city, but the country, and eventually he could destroy the world.”
De Niro did not mince words when discussing the former president, labeling him a “grubby real estate hustler masquerading as a big shot” and warning that if Trump were to return to the White House, it would spell disaster for American freedoms. He emphasized the importance of voting for Biden in order to preserve democracy and protect the values that Americans hold dear.
The actor’s impassioned speech was further underscored by the presence of law enforcement officers Harry Dunn and Michael Fanone, who bravely defended the US Capitol on January 6th. De Niro hailed them as “true heroes” and emphasized the need to stand up against any threat to democracy.
In a time of political turmoil and uncertainty, De Niro’s words serve as a stark reminder of the importance of standing up for what is right and fighting against any forces that seek to undermine the principles of democracy.
