Robert De Niro Calls Stephen Miller a “Nazi,” Sparks Fiery Backlash

Actor Robert De Niro has set off a storm on social media after labeling former Trump administration official Stephen Miller a “Nazi” during a recent interview. De Niro made the comment while discussing former President Donald Trump’s reluctance to leave office, saying:

“He set it up with, I guess he’s the Goebbels of the cabinet, Stephen Miller. He’s a Nazi! Yes he is, and he’s Jewish. He should be ashamed of himself.”

Miller responded with a scathing statement, attacking De Niro’s career and credibility:

“De Niro is a sad, broken old man who is mostly enraged because he hasn’t made anything worth watching in at least 30 years. Probably the longest string of flops, failures, embarrassments. This man has been degrading himself on camera with one horrific film after another for my entire adult life and he is not taken seriously by anybody. Not by his family, friends, community. He is a shell of a man and everybody disregards everything he says.”

The exchange has drawn widespread attention online, with social media users divided over the confrontation between one of Hollywood’s most acclaimed actors and a key figure from the Trump administration.

Commentators note that the clash highlights ongoing tensions between prominent public figures and political operatives, particularly in the highly polarized post-Trump era. While De Niro has long been outspoken against Trump and his allies, Miller’s forceful rebuttal shows that former administration officials are increasingly willing to publicly defend themselves — sometimes with personal attacks on their critics.

This latest incident underscores the blurring lines between politics, celebrity, and social media warfare, where statements by actors or entertainers can provoke immediate and fiery responses from political figures.

As the debate continues, both sides have sparked conversations about accountability, personal attacks, and the limits of public discourse in American politics.
