Featured Speech by Robert De Niro at Gotham Independent Film Awards

In a recent speech at the Gotham Independent Film Awards, Robert De Niro called out the lies and racism perpetuated by Donald Trump, as well as by Hollywood icon John Wayne. De Niro highlighted the dishonesty and racism that he believes marked Trump’s presidency and continues to thrive with his conservative politics.

Here are some of the key points illustrating the lies and racism highlighted by De Niro in his speech:

– De Niro criticized the editing of his speech at the awards ceremony, which he claimed removed his criticism of Trump and Hollywood.
– He quoted John Wayne’s racist statements about Native Americans, highlighting the problematic views perpetuated by the Hollywood industry.
– De Niro also pointed out Trump’s extensive history of lying, with over 30,500 untruths told during his presidency, according to the Washington Post’s Fact Checker team.

De Niro’s speech underscores the dangerous impact of Trump’s narcissistic lying on democracy. His constant stream of falsehoods erodes trust in institutions, undermines the truth, and creates a culture of misinformation that threatens the foundations of democracy.
