Hollywood legend Robert De Niro was all set to receive the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) Leadership Foundation’s Service to America Award in Washington DC on June 4. However, that won’t be happening anymore as he has been stripped of the same. Reason? For calling former U.
S. president Donald Trump ‘loser’ and ‘clown’. The spokesperson of the organization said in a statement, “This event is proudly bipartisan, uniting those from across the political spectrum to celebrate the impactful work of local broadcasters and our partners.
” The statement added, “While we strongly support the right of every American to exercise free speech and participate in civic engagement, it is clear that Mr De Niro’s recent high-profile activities will create a distraction from the philanthropic work that we were hoping to recognise. To maintain the focus on service of the award winners, Mr De Niro will no longer be attending the event.” Robert De Niro was quoted saying, “I support the work of the NAB Leadership Foundation and would like to express my appreciation and gratitude for what the Foundation has done and will continue to do for the good of us all, and I wish them well for their continued good work.
” What Niro said to Trump I don’t mean to scare you. No no, wait, maybe I do mean to scare you. If Trump returns to the White House, you can kiss away these freedoms that we take for granted, and elections, forget about it.
He will never leave. Trump retali.
