Megyn Kelly has taken aim at Robert De Niro’s recent comments on the American people, calling them “colossally stupid.” During her show, Kelly questioned the effectiveness of De Niro’s political activism, pointing out that his involvement didn’t prevent Trump’s victory in 2016.
Kelly recalled an exclusive interview with De Niro on her former Fox News show, where he first publicly criticized Trump. However, she argued that his efforts had little impact on the election outcome. “If he couldn’t make a difference then, why does he think he can now?” she asked.
De Niro’s recent press conference, where he expressed his love for New York City and fears about Trump’s potential destruction, was met with Kelly’s scathing criticism. She believes De Niro’s strong partisan stance has made him an ineffective choice for politically charged events.
“It’s not just about being a celebrity; it’s about being universally beloved,” Kelly said. “De Niro has become the poster child for Trump derangement syndrome.”
Kelly’s comments highlight her skepticism about De Niro’s ability to inspire change, given his polarizing political views. The debate raises questions about the impact of celebrity activism on political discourse.
