In something of a jaw-dropper of an appearance on MSNBC, far-left actor Robert De Niro went on the attack against President Trump and his administration in vulgar, rude fashion when on MSNBC’s “The Weekend” panel during a show on Sunday, October 19, dropping an f-bomb when commenting on the “No Kings” pushback on President Trump.
De Niro’s appearance on the show was meant to be about the recent “No Kings” protests that roiled America on October 18, a series of protests that Republicans, particularly President Trump, took to criticizing in quite entertaining fashion. The woke actor praised the Democrats who have fought President Trump, such as New York Attorney General Letitia James.
It was during that appearance that De Niro let fly with his vulgar cursing when trying to attack President Trump and his administration, a comment that came as he described which Democrats he likes. He began, “There’s something. I like Hakeem Jeffries. I like…Chuck Schumer, Adam Schiff, they’re all great, strong.”
Getting to his cursing, De Niro praised New York Attorney General Letitia James, who has been indicted on mortgage fraud-related charges related to a fraud scheme in which she appears to have clearly engaged, for fighting against President Trump, saying, “I like what Letitia James is doing. She’s fighting back. She’s saying, ‘f*** you!’”
Continuing, he apologized for cursing while continuing to praise the mortgage fraud-connected NY AG, telling the MSNBC hosts, “I’m sorry. This is where we are. It’s what she’s saying. ‘This is it. I will not be taken down by this person. I am not afraid of him.’ And God bless her for that. And that’s how other people have to be.”
Commenters on X skewered De Niro for his vulgarity. For example, one commenter on a viral post about the incident said, “Guy pretends to be a tough guy in films and thinks that makes him one in real life.” Similarly, another noted, “Didn’t anyone ever think to write De Niro’s scripts with more variety in his wording? This will be his legacy. An angry old foul mouth man who also had an acting career.”

This isn’t the first time that De Niro has cursed in connection with the “No Kings” protests. Previously, in a vulgar Instagram video promoting the protest and claiming it was the same as the American Revolution, he angrily snapped, “The original ‘No Kings’ protest was 250 years ago.”
Continuing with his ramble about “democracy” and kings, the far-left actor said, “Americans decided they didn’t want to live under the rule of King George III. They declared their independence and fought a bloody war for democracy. We’ve had two and a half centuries of democracy since then.”
He further said, “Often challenging, sometimes messy, always essential, and we fought in two World Wars to preserve it.” Then, getting to the cursing, he snapped, “Now we have a would-be king who wants to take it away? King Donald I. F– that. We are rising up again this time, nonviolently raising our voices to declare ‘No Kings.’”
