The American Icon Awards saw an unhinged rant from Robert De Niro against Trump last night.
De Niro cannot get over the Mueller report, mainly that it cleared Trump, and has increased his attacks on Trump in a desperate attempt to rewrite history.
History is always written by the winners, Bob, not the losers. It may not be fair to the losers, but it is so…(See Video Below)
From TMZ: Robert De Niro took a good long minute out of his speech honoring his good pal, Al Pacino, to call for the removal and arrest of President Trump — and his off-script moment drew mixed reviews.
De Niro was singing Pacino’s praises Sunday at the American Icon Awards — where the veteran actor was among 5 people honored … Quincy Jones and Evander Holyfield were a couple of the others. Right as he was winding down his speech, though … De Niro took the opportunity to remind everyone that he really, REALLY does not like POTUS.
He said Al, of course, was worthy of the Icon award … but the only thing Trump should be getting at this point is impeachment and imprisonment. Check out the rant for yourself — not necessarily as fiery as his “F**k Trump” moment at the Tonys … but same message.
From CBS: Some of the biggest names in Hollywood — including Al Pacino — walked the red carpet. They were all there to help raise money for different charities.
“It’s woken me up. It’s great,” said Pacino.
“I’m getting the Iconic award,” said Holyfield, “it has something to do with the things that I did in boxing. Like I’m a living legend not a dead legend.”
The event raises money for autism research, St Jude’s Children’s Hospital, and the Jonathon D. Fischer Foundation.
Actor Joe Mantegna’s daughter has autism and says it’s all about giving back when you can.
“It just shows the big heart that people have. How wonderful this country is in the sense that when people are called to respond, they step up to the plate,” Mantegna says.
“If you can reach a certain level in your career,” says “The Goldbergs” star Wendi McLendon-Covey, “you better be giving back. That’s how you stay relevant for a long time. The more you give, the more you get back. And, of course, these men have built great reputations for being charitable and that’s what this is all about.”
Joanne Lara, executive director of Autism Movement Therapy/Autism Works Now, says of the evening,”We all benefit but more than anything we benefit by public awareness.”
