Robert De Niro recently stirred up controversy during an appearance on The View when he launched into a harsh critique of former President Trump and conservative values. The 80-year-old actor went so far as to compare Trump to dictators Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini, warning of dire consequences if Trump were re-elected. De Niro’s comments were so intense that the show’s producers muted him twice, prompting him to apologize for his language before continuing.

Jesse Watters’ Reaction Fox News host Jesse Watters responded to De Niro’s outburst, claiming the actor had “completely lost his mind” in his later years. Watters dismissed De Niro’s comparison of Trump to Mussolini, sarcastically suggesting that “most Democrats probably think Mussolini is an appetizer at an Italian restaurant.”

Watters also expressed surprise at De Niro’s continued anger, saying, “I thought when people get older, they find peace. When I’m De Niro’s age, I hope to be basking in tranquility, but not De Niro. He’s lost his mind.” Watters then took a jab at De Niro’s past work, referencing his role in Raging Bull: “Raging Bull—kind of liked the movie better,” he quipped after playing clips of De Niro’s muted remarks.

De Niro’s Stance De Niro didn’t back down during his appearance on The View, expressing his disdain for conservatives and warning that those who support “anger and hate” will eventually regret it. This clash between De Niro and conservative media personalities like Watters highlights the ongoing divide between Hollywood and conservative voices.
