Robert DeNiro, Former Capitol Police Officers Slam Trump Outside His Criminal Trial
HuffPost
"Americans need to wake up," former officer Harry Dunn warned of a second Trump presidency. "This is not a drill.”
Actor Robert DeNiro and two former Capitol Police officers on Tuesday spoke outside of Donald Trump’s criminal trial in New York City, condemning the former president and warning of the grave danger he poses to the country if he wins election in November.
“As we speak, Donald Trump is somewhere, fighting for himself, maybe taking a power nap … [displaying] the ramblings of an unhinged, power hungry, self-serving man,” DeNiro said during a press conference organized by Joe Biden’s presidential campaign.
Americans “bought into his bullshit” in 2016, fumed DeNiro, and he “bought their votes with outrageous lies and empty promises.” Worse, continued the actor, Trump got self-identified patriots “to support a man who called for terminating the Constitution, and on Jan. 6, rallied an angry mob to threaten democracy, leaving death and destruction in his wake.”
“This is why I needed to be involved, and wanted to be involved, in the new Biden-Harris ad,” said DeNiro, referring to a new campaign ad that apparently will be released soon.
He motioned to the two former Capitol Police officers standing behind him, Harry Dunn and Michael Fanone, and called them “the true heroes” who fought to defend the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, after Trump incited an insurrection by a mob of his supporters.
