According to the Daily Mail, on Tuesday, May 28, De Niro appeared outside of the New York courthouse where Trump is currently facing trial. The outlet adds that the 80-year-old actor was joined by capitol police officers as part of President Joe Biden’s election campaign.
“I hope this new ad campaign reaches outside the bubble to remind supporters of what a danger he is to our lives. This is not a threat. This is our reality. And that’s why I’ve joined the Biden-Harris campaign, because the only way to preserve our freedoms and hold on to our humanity is to vote for Joe Biden for president,” De Niro reportedly told the crowd, per Fox News.
Furthermore, the actor explained that re-electing Trump would lead to him destroying the country and “eventually” the world. As he spoke, Trump supporters reportedly yelled expletives about Joe Biden while insulting also De Niro, per the Daily Mail.
However, undeterred, the actor completed his speech about Trump, ultimately calling the former president a clown.
