The Goodfellas star made the comment in response to co-host Jonathan Capehart asking him about his claim, a moment earlier on the show, that Trump will not leave the White House in 2028. Capehart said he was on the same “wavelength” as De Niro and agreed with him, before the actor compared Miller to Joseph Goebbels, the high-ranking Nazi leader and chief propagandist for Adolf Hitler.

“No way! We see it we see it we see it all the time — he will not want to leave. He set it up with, I guess he’s the Goebbels of the cabinet, Stephen Miller. He’s a Nazi,” De Niro said. “Yes, he is, and he should be ashamed of himself!”

    I hate the Nazis as much as the next guy, but comparing this bald psycho-bizarro creep-ball Stephen Miller to Goebbels is giving too much credit to Stephen Miller. He’s a properly talentless loser who happens to have any sort of importance by riding the coat-tails of the orange utan, while Goebbels actually had charisma and talent for propaganda.

    This is long but well worth a watch if you want to know everything there is to know about baldie-Stevie:

      I idon’t think he’s talking about the quality of stephen miller’s naziying, he’s saying that’s his role and goals. He should be called out by everyone as a nazi trying to build a nazi state.

      all of the highest nazis were incompetent psychos… their only qualification was loyalty.
      the nazis achieved amazing things because they commanded the state of germany… the actual heads were the biggest losers ever.

      Fuck no. Stop listening to actors. DeNiro loves RFK JR and is a rabid antivaxer. He wants to blame vaccines for autism in his son who he had in his 60s and he’s still having kids in his 80s.

    I’ve always loved De Niro. His performance in Raging Bull completely blew me away when I first saw it. All of his contributions with Scorsese have been excellent though. I’m glad to know he’s got the right idea with politics, I hate seeing celebrities I like turn out to be MAGAts.

      The one that disappointed me the most when I found out is Clint Eastwood: he’s quite the intolerant piece of shit Republican, and that predates Trump and even Dubya. I like his acting, but the man is despicable and has always been.

        That’s too bad, I’ve always really liked him. The Dollars trilogy are some of the best westerns ever made, with The Good the Bad and the Ugly being in my top five movies of all time.

    The Nazis equivalent of Stephen Miller is Himmler. Goebbels was in charge of Propaganda, Himmler was in charge of the Final Solution.

    There really isn’t a member of the Trump administration who is the equivalent of Goebbels yet, but I’ve been referring to Stephen Miller as PeeWee Himmler since the first Trump administration.
