Rob Schneider slams De Niro for claiming Trump won’t leave office if elected: ‘Fearmongering’ – Washington Examiner

Comedian Rob Schneider slammed Robert De Niro’s speech in which he claimed former President Donald Trump would not leave office if he wins in November.

De Niro appeared outside Trump’s trial Tuesday in Manhattan to warn that the former president is a threat to both the United States and the world. It was the first Biden campaign press conference outside Trump’s trial.

When asked about De Niro’s stunt for the Biden campaign, Schneider criticized his fellow actor’s “fearmongering,” noting how both political parties will claim that the next election could be the last one.

“But for him to say today that he’s never going to leave, I mean, he left once, so the evidence is he did leave,” Schneider said on Newsmax’s Eric Bolling The Balance. “I will say that we have a very good system. We have the legislature, we have the executive, judicial. It’s a pretty good system. James Madison came up with it. I don’t think any one man or either party, whether even if the Democrats win again, and I hope they don’t, but if they do, we’re strong enough to survive it.”

Schneider also criticized De Niro for warning about violence if Trump loses the election, citing how many Democrats have not condemned the violence that took place during many of the Black Lives Matter riots that occurred in 2020, stressing the need to call out “all violence.”

Regarding the 2024 presidential election, Schneider has already endorsed independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., with the comedian stating Tuesday night that he hopes Kennedy is able to partake in the upcoming presidential debates. He added that he hopes for the winner of the presidential election to be “anybody but Biden,” joking that he is not sure if the president knows that he is running for reelection.

Schneider is releasing a book later this year titled You Can Do It! Speak Your Mind, America, which is both his memoir and a call to action for readers to protect free speech.

Trump and President Joe Biden are likely to be the presidential nominees for their respective political parties and are set to debate each other next month. Most recently, the former president received the backing of actor Dennis Quaid, who said he sees “a weaponization of our justice system” over Trump’s legal battles.
