Hilarious how out of touch these guys are. Do yourself a favor and read the comments - on Variety. Robert De Niro had a few choice words for President Donald Trump while the legendary actor was on stage at Sunday’s Tony Awards to introduce Bruce Springsteen’s musical performance. “I’m going to say one thing, F— Trump,” De Niro said while pumping his fists in the air. “It’s no longer down with Trump. It’s f— Trump.” The political sentiment earned De Niro a standing ovation from the crowd at Radio City Music Hall, while CBS scrambled to bleep the audio on the live telecast. After the audience settled, De Niro got back to talking about Springsteen, who received a special Tony Award during Sunday night. The intimate show, “Springsteen on Broadway” — or as De Niro referred to it, “Jersey Boy” — features the Boss performing his music and sharing stories from his 2016 autobiography “Born to Run.” Tickets to the exclusive concert residency, which has been extended twice, are upwards of $850. “Do you have any idea how hard it is to get tickets for Bruce Springsteen’s show on Broadway? It’s easier to get tickets for ‘Hamilton,’ and that’s got a much bigger cast, actual dancing and a history lesson,” De Niro joked. So when De Niro finally got the call to see Springsteen play live, he said ‘yes without asking any questions.” “Bruce, you can rock the house like nobody else,” he said. “And even more important in these perilous times, you rock the vote, always fighting for, in your own words, ‘Truth, transparency, and integrity in government.’ Boy, do we need that now.” Springsteen then took the stage to perform a soulful rendition of “My Hometown.”
You beat me to it on this post. Can you imagine the uproar if we AMERICANS had yelled "FUCK OBAMA.... KILL OBAMA, crash the economy so we can blame Obama" at every public gathering?
Right. Maybe it's because we Americans have respect for the Constitution. Obama was declared president, so we just had to "lump it" and endure his adminstration until he could be replaced by the next election or his 2 terms. The Lefty/Commie/Democraps have no such respect for the Constitution, the country or anyone who opposes their views. They intend to "win at all costs"... meaning having total power and control just like any Communist dictatorial regime... America be damned.
Extremists on both sides of this debate but don't apply selective history to this. Trump encouraged and tapped this anger and let boil into hatred to embolden and give a sense of empowerment to the disenchanted, disillusioned and downright unhinged. The political discourse was sullied to further the agenda. Don't be a fucking hypocrite.
