Robert De Niro Makes Salacious Claims About Giuliani And Trump Family — Says He’s ‘Representing A Mob Family’

Robert De Niro, 77, says Rudy Giuliani is “representing a mob family,” according to Fox News.

Sunny Hostin interviewed De Niro on “The View.”

Hostin said, “Giuliani used to prosecute actual mob bosses in the ’80s in federal court. What happened to him?”

De Niro responded, “He’s the one who was prosecuting under the RICO Act, the way I understand it. And now he’s representing a mob family.”

“It’s crazy … I don’t know what happened to him. I feel bad for him.”

De Niro is confused as to why Guiliani would represent Trump.

“I can’t understand because it’s just as easy to say ‘Look, I can’t buy into this, I can’t go along with this. It’s over, I’m out! And he’d have so much respect and people would hire him, and want to hire him, and he’s going this other way, it’s just nuts.”

In a different interview, De Niro said, “It’s the same playbook as Mussolini, as Hitler, as wannabe dictators. It’s what they’re going to do for the people, make Germany great again, make Italy great again, make America great again. It’s all appealing to the worst prejudices, the worst weaknesses of the public and instead of leading them and guiding them and being someone that they can look up to.”

“And when the public is not right, you have to be [there] to do the right thing and set an example for them. And if you don’t, then we’re going to be where we are today.”

”Thank God we’re out of this. We’re going to be in other things but thank God with Biden… he’s going to bring us into calm waters.”

“I’m an actor, I do those parts, I enjoy them, but I’d like to even think in all of those parts there‘s a certain dignity somewhere buried in there that I don’t think a person like Trump, I know he doesn’t have. There’s no center.”

“You have to have a center no matter who you are… It’s like somebody defying gravity. They’ll never do it. That’s why we have rules, that’s why we have laws, that’s why we have judges, that’s why we have structure. If we don’t have that, we have nothing. We have chaos, we have anarchy.”

“I’m not like political, but I was so angry and so enraged and confounded that he would actually behave the way he did and that people bought it.”

“Now I see many, many, many people in the country feel this way. I’m sad about other people who don’t. They’ve accepted him and would have voted for him and have voted for him.”

“I don’t know why. That’s all that it was from the very beginning. Just how could this guy behave this way? That’s all.”

More from Fox News:

De Niro has long been a critic of Trump, his family, and his administration.

In early November while appearing on “The Beat with Ar Melber” on MSNBC, he compared Trump to dictators.

De Niro pulled no punches in coming after those who still voted to give Trump a second term in office after host Ari Melber asked him about his many roles as a tough guy and how that attitude may have impacted Americans.

The “Godfather” star admitted he’s “confounded” by citizens who voted for Trump.
