Miller, one of the key architects behind Donald Trump\u2019s immigration crackdown<\/a> and mass deportation operation<\/a>, tore into De Niro after the Hollywood star compared him to Adolf Hitler\u2019s chief propagandist during a recent MSNBC appearance.<\/p>\n \u201cWe see it all the time\u2014[Trump] will not want to leave,\u201d De Niro exclaimed on The Weekend. \u201cHe set it up with, I guess he\u2019s the Goebbels of the cabinet, Stephen Miller.\u201d<\/p>\n Doubling down on the comparison, De Niro went on to directly accuse Miller \u2013 who is Jewish \u2013 of being a Nazi. \u201cYes, he is, and he should be ashamed of himself,\u201d the Raging Bull star asserted.<\/p>\n During an appearance on Trump confidant Sean Hannity\u2019s primetime show on Wednesday night, Miller \u2013 who recently called the Democratic Party a \u201cdomestic extremist organization\u201d<\/a> and is spearheading the administration\u2019s \u201call-of-government effort to dismantle left-wing terrorism\u201d<\/a> \u2013 was asked by the Fox host whether he was thinking about suing De Niro.<\/p>\n open image in gallery<\/p>\n Stephen Miller tells Fox News host Sean Hannity that Robert De Niro hasn’t made any worthwhile films in 30 years and that his family doesn’t respect him. (Fox News)<\/p>\n While the White House deputy chief of staff largely sidestepped the possibility of taking the actor to court, he did take the opportunity to lob his own series of insults at the Hollywood legend \u2013 which included taking shots at his recent body of work.<\/p>\n \u201cRobert De Niro is a sad, bitter, broken old man who is mostly enraged because he has not made a movie worth watching in at least 30 years,\u201d Miller sneered. \u201cProbably the longest string of flops, failures, embarrassments.\u201d<\/p>\n Miller went on to claim that De Niro \u201chas been degrading himself on camera with one horrific film after another for my entire adult life, and he is not taken seriously by anybody.\u201d He also insisted that De Niro no longer garners the respect of his friends, family, or the acting community.<\/p>\n \u201cHe is a shell of a man, and everyone disregards everything he says,\u201d Miller growled.<\/p>\n Miller\u2019s tirade echoed recent comments made by White House communications director Steven Cheung, who has become the president\u2019s chief insult-thrower during the second Trump administration.<\/p>\n \u201cRobert DeNiro is a washed up has-been who hasn\u2019t been relevant in 30 years,\u201d Cheung said in a statement following De Niro\u2019s MSNBC interview. \u201cNow, he just beclowns himself by spewing hate speech and inciting violence against others. Instead of embarrassing himself every time he speaks, he should seek immediate treatment for a debilitating case of Trump Derangement Syndrome that has rotted his peanut sized brain.\u201d<\/p>\n Despite the White House officials’ claims of irrelevance, De Niro has appeared in several critically acclaimed and commercially successful films in recent years. For instance, he picked up a Best Supporting Actor Academy Award nomination for 2012\u2019s Oscar-winning hit Silver Linings Playbook.<\/p>\n open image in gallery<\/p>\n During a recent appearance on MSNBC, Robert De Niro compared Stephen Miller to Adolf Hitler’s chief propagandist. (Getty Images)<\/p>\n On top of that, he starred in the box office smash Joker in 2019, which scored Joaquin Phoenix a Best Actor award and invoked some of De Niro\u2019s past collaborations with director Martin Scorsese, notably Taxi Driver and The King of Comedy. <\/p>\n In fact, his recent work with Scorsese has earned him Oscar nominations over the past few years. He was a producer on the Best Picture-nominated The Irishman, a historical drama about the Teamsters and union boss Jimmy Hoffa, in which he also starred. And he also picked up another Best Supporting Actor nod for Scorsese\u2019s 2023 epic Killers of the Flower Moon, which focuses on a series of murders of Osage tribe members in 1920s Oklahoma.<\/p>\n De Niro has been a vociferous and outspoken critic of Trump\u2019s for nearly a decade now<\/a>, describing the president as \u201ctotally nuts\u201d<\/a> and a \u201cstupid bully\u201d<\/a> who is similar to past fascist leaders<\/a>, all while claiming he uses<\/a> the \u201cthe same playbook as Mussolini, as Hitler, as a dictator, wannabe dictators.\u201d<\/p>\n And just last month, he harkened back to his role in the gangster classic Goodfellas when he mockingly portrayed<\/a> Trump\u2019s handpicked FCC chairman Brendan Carr on Jimmy Kimmel Live! This was host Jimmy Kimmel\u2019s first show back on the air following a brief preemption, which saw Carr seemingly threaten ABC and parent company Disney<\/a> over Kimmel\u2019s remarks about slain right-wing activist Charlie Kirk.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Your support helps us to tell the story From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":220854,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[6491,96,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-220853","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/220853","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=220853"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/220853\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/220854"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=220853"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=220853"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=220853"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Stephen](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/hannity-(8).jpg\")
