Chris Wallace: As 'Famous Gangster Actor,' Robert De Niro Has Street Cred to Call Trump a 'Gangster'

Along with Hollywood "Meathead" Rob Reiner, La La Land's Robert De Niro is undoubtedly one of the most Trump-loathing people on the planet. The venom spewed by these two leftists against the former president is so toxic that the unintended humor is off the charts.

Toss Chris Wallace, former host of "Fox News Sunday," now a CNN simp, into the mix, and it doesn't get any better.

Such was the case on Friday when Wallace trotted onto the set of "CNN News Central" to pimp his latest episode of HBO Max's "Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace?" with De Niro. In both shows, Wallace fawned over TDS-riddled De Niro labeling Trump a “gangster” — and ridiculously claimed that the ad hominem against Trump means more coming from the veteran actor because he has played gangsters in movies. No, really.

At least Wallace was honest about why De Niro came on his show.

Well, what stood out is the fact that, frankly, people come on my show, our shows, because, actors do, because they have something they want to promote. Robert De Niro had nothing he wanted to promote. He just wanted to talk politics, and he really wanted to take down Donald Trump. Take a look.

In the preview clip, Wallace asked: “You really worry that if he were to win again — and I'm not saying this like it's such a far-fetched notion — if he were to win again, that he would not give up power?”

De Niro replied: “You know, he won't, you know he won't. He even said it. He's never going to give it up. And anybody who deludes themselves in thinking that he is—shame on you.”

It only got "better" from there.

Wallace: 

You have compared the Trump family to a gangster family, which is something coming from you. What do you mean by that?

De Niro replied, suggesting Trump has no honor:

Well, they are because he thinks he's a gangster. He does everything like a gangster. I don't think that gangsters in that world would want, think much of him because you, in any, there's honor among thieves, there's honor in anything — if you don't keep your word and do the right thing with people, no matter what profession you're in, you are going to get ostracized and in that world, it's a little harder.

Wallace agreed, and then some.

Yeah, it’s more than being ostracized. Well, when you say that they are gangsters, in what way?

De Niro explained why he calls Trump a gangster: "He thinks, 'I do something for you. You do something for me.'"

Following the clip, Wallace went full clown car with his CNN colleagues.

You know, that's what I found so fascinating, Sara. Here is Robert De Niro, perhaps the most famous gangster actor in the world, saying that the gangsters, he knows — and he admits he knows some members of the mob and has certainly come across them in his 50 years in acting in New York City — he says they would have nothing to do with Donald Trump.

Pathetic, huh?
