Last week, the unprecedented criminal trial of former US President Donald Trump ended. Robert De Niro, who has never hidden his dislike for the billionaire who is running for president of the United States again, appeared in front of the New York courthouse where the trial was taking place.
Robert De Niro warned against Donald Trump. After the happening, he argued with supporters of the former US president
The legendary actor took part in a happening organized by the Democratic Party, during which he warned everyone gathered against Donald Trump’s return to power. He spoke, among others: that if the candidate of the Republican Party wins the upcoming presidential elections in the United States, the country’s system may quickly cease to be democratic.
Robert De Niro also called Trump a “monster”, “clown” and “dictator”, and after the speech, he entered into a discussion with the former president’s supporters, whom he called “gangsters”. Donald Trump later commented on the incident on Platform X, where he called the actor “pathetic.”
The actor’s political involvement deprived him of an important award. However, De Niro is not offended
Now it turns out that the American National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) reacted to De Niro’s speech. The organization decided to withdraw its offer to award the actor the Leadership Foundation’s Service to America Award, which the 80-year-old was supposed to receive on Tuesday.
The spokesman for the National Broadcasting Association commented on the matter, stating that the event during which the actor was to receive the award is cross-party and “unites people from various sides of the political scene to celebrate the influential work of local broadcasters.”
While we strongly support every American’s right to exercise free speech and civic engagement, it is clear that Mr. De Niro’s recent high-profile actions will distract from the philanthropic work we hoped to recognize,” the spokesperson’s statement continued.
It was also added that in order to focus on celebrating the public service of the award winners, Robert De Niro will not attend the ceremony. The two-time Oscar winner responded to the decision, saying he still supports NAB. – I wish them good luck in their continued good work – he said in an interview with “”.
