The Goodfellas star made the comment in response to co-host Jonathan Capehart asking him about his claim, a moment earlier on the show, that Trump will not leave the White House in 2028. Capehart said he was on the same “wavelength” as De Niro and agreed with him, before the actor compared Miller to Joseph Goebbels, the high-ranking Nazi leader and chief propagandist for Adolf Hitler.

“No way! We see it we see it we see it all the time — he will not want to leave. He set it up with, I guess he’s the Goebbels of the cabinet, Stephen Miller. He’s a Nazi,” De Niro said. “Yes, he is, and he should be ashamed of himself!”

I’ve always loved De Niro. His performance in Raging Bull completely blew me away when I first saw it. All of his contributions with Scorsese have been excellent though. I’m glad to know he’s got the right idea with politics, I hate seeing celebrities I like turn out to be MAGAts.

    The one that disappointed me the most when I found out is Clint Eastwood: he's quite the intolerant piece of shit Republican, and that predates Trump and even Dubya. I like his acting, but the man is despicable and has always been.

    Who cares. Do you care about the political opinions of your plumber? No, you just care that the shit goes down when you flush.

    People think they know someone by watching them act, then for some reason, they listen to them about opinions when most actors are incredibly poorly educated because they learned in their teens they could just get away with how they look.

    Normally I don't care. But with MAGA, it's different: if I found out he's a MAGAt, I'll call someone else. I don't give my business to fascists, fascist sympathizers or morons who are too dumb not to vote fascist. I can't stand fascists and I can't stand those who enable them.

    Having said that, Eastwood isn't MAGA. He's just a slightly nauseating person. That won't prevent me from enjoying the movies he played in.

    Actually? Yeah, had an issue last winter. Guy started chatting anti-immigrant shite, and I kicked him the fuck out my house.
