Fox News host Jesse Watters recently addressed actor Robert De Niro’s anti-Trump comments on Tuesday outside the New York City courtroom. As De Niro bashed the former president, closing arguments were being delivered in the hush money trial, which could soon reach a verdict.
The Fox News host suggested that the Biden campaign “returned to the scene of the crime,” insinuating the case brought against Trump was a politically motivated attempt to thwart his campaign efforts ahead of the election later this year.
“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,” he said.
Watters continued, calling out the assortment of characters who came and spoke outside the trial, such as De Niro and two Capitol police officers who were present during the January 6 protests. According to Watters, this was evidence that the Biden campaign “came to confess” their involvement in Trump’s legal battles.
“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,” he added.
Watters continued, “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?”
The host of “Jesse Watters Primetime” further blasted the press conference outside of the courthouse, claiming that the Biden campaign sent De Niro, who is known for his roles in mob movies, to “intimidate” the jury ahead of deliberations. Watch the segment below
“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.”
