White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller blasted actor Robert De Niro during a Wednesday appearance on Fox News’s Hannity.
Miller called the actor “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 continued. “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.”
Host Sean Hannity raised De Niro’s remarks after the actor compared Stephen Miller to Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels during MSNBC’s The Weekend, while also attacking President Trump and praising New York Attorney General Letitia James.
“I like what Letitia James is doing, she’s fighting back, she’s saying, ‘F— you,’” De Niro said, met by audible gasps. “I’m sorry. This is where we are. 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.”
De Niro also said Trump “will not want to leave” after he finishes his second term, before bringing up Miller by calling him “Goebbels.” He then claimed Trump “has no empathy.”
“I don’t know where — what he is, but he’s an alien, and he wants to hurt this country,” De Niro said. “It’s something deeply psychological in him, he wants to hurt people. He wants to hurt this country, doesn’t care.”
Stephen Miller brands Robert De Niro a “bitter old man.”
“Robert De Niro is a sad, bitter, broken old man who is mostly enraged because he’s not made a movie worth watching in at least 30 years.”
