‘Colossally stupid’: Megyn Kelly blasts Robert De Niro event outside Trump trial

The Megyn Kelly Show host Megyn Kelly has called out US President Biden’s campaign in politicising Donald Trump’s New York criminal trial by having actor Robert De Niro and others hold a press conference near the courthouse.

The Hollywood actor stepped out on the busy streets of New York City in support of President Joe Biden's campaign, warning Americans' freedoms would vanish if Trump was voted to return to office in the 2024 Presidential election.

“It’s so stupid it was colossally stupid,” Ms Kelly told Sky News host Paul Murray.

“If you’re going to send somebody to go speak outside of the Trump trial make it someone who is universally beloved.

“Robert De Niro has gone so hard partisan for the past eight years he is like the number one example of Trump derangement syndrome.”
