January 1, De Niro Drops F-Bomb Backing Anti-Trump Protest

Wyatt’s Take

• Robert De Niro shocks TV show with harsh words about Trump.
• Actor praises Letitia James and Democrats fighting Trump.
• Mass protests take place across the country against Trump.

Actor Robert De Niro stirred MSNBC’s “The Weekend” by cursing while praising Democrats standing up to President Trump. He singled out New York Attorney General Letitia James, sharing strong approval of her actions against Trump.

De Niro said, “There’s something, I like Hakeem Jeffries. I like…Chuck Schumer, Adam Schiff, they’re all great, strong. I like what Letitia James is doing. She’s fighting back. She’s saying, ‘f— you!’”

The panel reacted with surprise, but De Niro stood by his feelings. He added, “I’m sorry. This is where we are. It’s what she’s saying. ‘This is it. I will not be taken down by this person. I am not afraid of him.’ And God bless her for that. And that’s how other people have to be.”

De Niro has been vocal about the “No Kings” protests happening around the U.S. Against what he calls “King Donald I,” he said, “The original ‘No Kings’ protest was 250 years ago. Americans decided they didn’t want to live under the rule of King George III. They declared their independence and fought a bloody war for democracy. We’ve had two and a half centuries of democracy since then. Often challenging, sometimes messy, always essential, and we fought in two World Wars to preserve it.”

He continued, “Now we have a would-be king who wants to take it away? King Donald I. F– that. We are rising up again this time, nonviolently raising our voices to declare ‘No Kings.’”

Hundreds of thousands attended the “No Kings” protests across the nation, including big crowds in New York City’s Times Square.
