Jesse Watters Hits Back at Robert De Niro: “This Man Has Completely Lost His Mind”
In a fiery exchange that has set the media world buzzing, Fox News host Jesse Watters recently launched a scathing attack on actor Robert De Niro following the veteran’s controversial appearance on The View. De Niro, who has never shied away from voicing his political opinions, sparked outrage with his harsh critiques of former President Donald Trump, drawing comparisons between Trump and infamous dictators like Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini. The intensity of his remarks was so overwhelming that The View producers were forced to mute him twice during the segment. As De Niro apologized for his language before continuing his tirade, the incident became the subject of widespread discussion.
The Outburst That Sparked Controversy
De Niro’s appearance on The View was meant to be a discussion about politics, but it quickly turned into an all-out verbal assault on Trump and his supporters. The 80-year-old actor, known for his outspoken liberal views, accused Trump of leading the country down a dangerous path, suggesting that his re-election would result in catastrophic consequences. The actor compared Trump to some of history’s most notorious dictators, Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini, warning that the country was at risk if the former president returned to power.
De Niro’s remarks were so extreme that they prompted the show’s producers to intervene. As De Niro continued with his fiery rhetoric, producers muted him twice, leading to a moment of discomfort on live television. Even after being muted, De Niro persisted with his critiques, eventually offering an apology for his language. Despite the apology, the damage had been done, and his words continued to fuel the ongoing political debate.
