After Robert De Niro compared Stephen Miller to Nazi Joseph Goebbels, it’s no surprise that President Donald Trump’s Homeland Security Advisor/White House Deputy Chief of Staff is a little bit bitter.
In fact, he spoke out against the two-time Academy Award-winning actor on Fox News on Wednesday following De Niro’s Sunday appearance on MSNBC.
“Robert De Niro is a sad, bitter, broken old man who is mostly enraged because he has not made a movie worth watching in at least 30 years — probably the longest string of flops, failures, embarrassments,” Miller said. “This man has been degrading himself on camera with one horrific film after another for my entire adult life and he’s not taken seriously by anybody; not by his family, not by his friends, not by his community. He is a shell of a man and everyone disregards everything he says.”
Miller’s comments came three days after De Niro condemned Trump and his administration amid the nationwide No Kings protests, insisting that the president “is not going to leave the White House” on his own.
“He set it up with his — I guess he’s the Goebbels of the cabinet. Stephen Miller, he’s a Nazi. Yes, he is,” the actor added. “And he’s Jewish, and he should be ashamed of himself.”
Last month, De Niro notably, and somehow less blatantly, mocked FCC Chairman Brendan Carr in Jimmy Kimmel’s return to late night. “It’s just me, Jimmy, the chairman of the FCC, gently suggesting that you gently shut the f–k up,” he said on ABC. “Speech? It ain’t free no more. We’re charging by the word now.”
