Fox News host Jesse Watters weighed in on Robert De Niro‘s unhinged rant outside a New York City courtroom as closing arguments were delivered in former President Donald Trump‘s trial.
Watters noted how the Biden administration made a fatal move by appearing at the Manhattan courthouse despite repeatedly declaring they had nothing to do with prosecuting their rival.
Meanwhile, De Niro shouted, “You’re a f idiot,” at one Trump supporter who asked him if he was on pedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein’s client list.
Here is a recap.
Watch
Has-been, 80 year old, De Niro is an irrelevant idiot. He played tough guys in the movies and it turns out he's a total pussy.

Run Bobby run. Look how brave and tough he is with all the armed security around him. He can't back up his bullshit when confronted so he runs away. pic.twitter.com/sRTszjP8QX
“He doesn’t belong in my city,” De Niro said of Trump.
“He’s a clown. But this city is pretty accommodating, we accommodate clowns.”
De Niro said Trump wanted to “sow chaos”.
“He will never leave. This is not a threat, this is a reality,” he said of accusations Mr Trump would not want to vacate the White House if he reclaimed it.
“Donald Trump wants to destroy not only this city and the country but the entire world.”
Below is Jesse Watters’ take on the events, via Fox News:
JESSE WATTERS: There’s an old cliche in criminal psychology: “The criminal always returns to the scene of the crime.” And after telling us repeatedly they had nothing to do with prosecuting their rival, the Biden campaign this morning returned to an active crime scene – the sub-zero Manhattan courthouse, where Democrats have been pinning Trump down with a political ankle monitor.
The criminal brought with him his co-conspirators– old men in black. Punchy Bobby De Niro, wearing a mask, still trying to slow the spread of populism and the two Capitol police officers who played starring roles in the January 6th hearing, had book deals, CNN gigs and even ran for Congress. Usually, when criminals return to a crime scene, they do it for the sick thrill. But the Biden campaign just came to confess.
That’s the Biden campaign spokesman admitting the trial is about the Democrats stopping Trump. After a year of insisting that Biden had nothing to do with prosecuting Trump, the Biden campaign holds a press conference at the steps of the courthouse where Trump is being prosecuted. Why? Because they say they had to go where the press was to get their word out. What are they talking about? The press stands outside the Oval Office every day. They follow Biden on Air Force One wherever he goes. He had to go looking for them in lower Manhattan, where it just so happens Trump’s on trial?
You can’t campaign outside of a courthouse that your party’s prosecuting your opponent in. The most powerful man in the world sent an actor who plays a mob boss to intimidate the jury before deliberations.
Biden made an actor read a script in lower Manhattan saying his opponent is worse than 9/11. And then the actor slipped and went off-script and admitted he’s trying to scare you. In politics, you can’t admit you’re trying to scare voters. It’s not the movies.
Watch
Today, the White House sent Punchy Robert De Niro to stump for Biden outside the Manhattan courthouse where they're prosecuting Trump. There's no clearer admission that this trial is the Democrats' last-ditch effort to get Trump off the ballot. pic.twitter.com/isbkbDvLuW
