Robert De Niro tears into Republicans: 'We're not going to forget' about what you did under Trump

Robert De Niro took aim at the Republican Party and President Trump in a recent interview and warned that the American people would not forget about “all the things that these Republicans did during the time of Trump” long after he leaves office.

During an interview with The Hollywood Reporter released earlier this week, De Niro was pressed about his thoughts on Attorney General William Barr's four-page summary of special counsel Robert Mueller's report on the Russia probe.

De Niro called the summary “pathetic” and suggested that it downplayed Mueller’s report to make the president look more favorable.

"It's pathetic," De Niro said. "You know what's interesting is that Democrats are trying to do the right thing and say, 'We're waiting for justice to come,' and then it doesn’t come. Or it will come in a way, Mueller presented it in a way that's up to us and Congress to make, come up with the results, but now it’s being barred by Barr. And that's to be seen now what Congress will do and how effective they're going to be."

What's going to be done about it.

I don't forget Nixon and Reagan stealing their elections.
I don't forget Iran/Contra.
I don't forget W/Cheney war crimes.

So what?

the more the crimes pile up, the fewer the consequences.

I would blame Dem leadership but they are fighting an uphill battle now that there is fux snooze and the rest of the RWNJ propaganda machine. The 666kook666 brothers, murdoch, and the rest of the old white male oligarchy is why the pukes are spiraling downward into ever more egregious behavior.

the country between their wars, corruption and raiding of the treasury. How did people punish them? By giving them them congress. Yeah, I'm sure they're scared shitless. They don't call this place the United States of Amnesia for nothing.

They never pay for their crimes and they know they never will. That's what emboldens them.

Remember all those editorials about the demise of the Republican party just a few short years ago?

Peace
