Spiegler letter DeNiro

1 min read

The appearance of renowned actor Robert DeNiro at this year’s Tony Awards places me in the awkward and painful position of having to defend the president.

In an era in which there is little that shocks us, DeNiro did so, opening his appearance by saying to the audience, “F– Trump”! Naturally, the crowd lapped it up and he was not repudiated by anyone who succeeded him on the dais.

By lowering himself to the level of our coarse and vulgar president, DeNiro plays right into his hands, providing additional fuel for those who assert with great validity that the Hollywood entertainment establishment is morally bankrupt.

For those of us who are raising impressionable children, the actions often exhibited by those whom we would like to believe are responsible, decent human beings becomes harder to explain with each passing day.
