Robert De Niro urges Americans to ‘stand up and be counted’ in anti-Trump protests
In video, the two-time Oscar winner also invoked the pledge of allegiance to say
‘we’re all in this together’
“We have a would-be king who wants to take it away: king Donald the first,” De Niro says. “Fuck that.”
The GoodFellas and Godfather Part II star then calls on those in the US to “nonviolently [raise] our voices” at demonstrations Saturday that follow up on similar ones called “No Kings” rallies that were held on 14 June and attracted a turnout of millions to about 2,000 distinct sites.
“I’m … asking you to stand up and be counted in the nationwide ‘No Kings’ protest” on Saturday, De Niro remarks in the video. Invoking a phrase from the ubiquitously recited US pledge of allegiance, he adds: “We’re all in this together – indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”
