The Goodfellas star made the comment in response to co-host Jonathan Capehart asking him about his claim, a moment earlier on the show, that Trump will not leave the White House in 2028. Capehart said he was on the same “wavelength” as De Niro and agreed with him, before the actor compared Miller to Joseph Goebbels, the high-ranking Nazi leader and chief propagandist for Adolf Hitler.
“No way! We see it we see it we see it all the time — he will not want to leave. He set it up with, I guess he’s the Goebbels of the cabinet, Stephen Miller. He’s a Nazi,” De Niro said. “Yes, he is, and he should be ashamed of himself!”
Agreed. The only thing that matters about what anyone says, no matter who it is, is whether the statement is true.
If we discourage anyone from sharing the truth at any time, in any place, then we are only hurting our cause.
Plus being famous is like having a megaphone. Rejecting De Niro’s help here is like bringing a strongly-worded letter to a megaphone fight.
