AS CLOSING ARGUMENTS IN DONALD TRUMP’S CRIMINAL TRIAL WERE UNDERWAY INSIDE THE NEW YORK COURTHOUSE ON TUESDAY – A CAMPAIGN RALLY FOR PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN WAS BEING HELD OUTSIDE – WITH ACTOR ROBERT DE NIRO IN ATTENDANCE.
DE NIRO IS A LONGTIME DEMOCRAT WHO RECENTLY VOICED AN AD FOR BIDEN’S CAMPAIGN.
SPEAKING TO REPORTERS — THE ACTOR LASHED OUT AT TRUMP.
ROBERT DE NIRO | ACTOR
“When Trump ran into 2016, it was like a joke. This buffoon running for president ‘no never could happen.’ We’d forgotten the lessons of history that showed us other clowns who weren’t taken seriously until they became vicious dictators. With Trump, we have a second chance and no one is laughing now.”
[KARAH RUCKER]
DE NIRO WAS ACCOMPANIED BY TWO LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS WHO WERE AT THE CAPITOL on JANUARY 6TH – who say THE RIOT WAS FUELED BY LIES THAT THE 2020 ELECTION WAS STOLEN.
PRO-TRUMP SUPPORTERS COULD BE HEARD CHANTING IN THE BACKGROUND DURING THE BIDEN EVENT.
IN RESPONSE — THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN HELD THEIR OWN PRESS CONFERENCE SOON AFTER.
A SPOKESPERSON SAYING WHILE “DONALD TRUMP’S NUMBERS ARE RISING…THE BEST THE BIDEN CAMPAIGN CAN DO IS ROLL OUT WASHED-UP ACTORS.”
