The clash, which has quickly gone viral, adds another chapter to the long-running culture war between Hollywood elites and right-wing media figures.

Megyn Kelly, never one to shy away from controversy, unleashed her criticism of De Niro during a segment of her popular podcast, The Megyn Kelly Show. While discussing the latest political and entertainment news, Kelly turned her attention to De Niro, attacking him over his outspoken political views and public rants against conservative figures.

“Robert De Niro is not just a left-wing activist,” Kelly said with a smirk. “He’s an extremely stupid left-wing activist. The man has made a career out of playing tough guys, but in reality, he’s just an angry, bitter old man screaming at the sky.”

Kelly’s comments come in response to De Niro’s most recent tirade against conservative political figures and media personalities, a move that has become a hallmark of the actor’s public appearances in recent years.

While Kelly did not specify which of De Niro’s remarks triggered her latest attack, the Oscar-winning actor has a long history of using Hollywood platforms to lash out at conservatives, including former President Donald Trump and right-wing media outlets.

Robert De Niro has never been one to hold his tongue when it comes to politics. The acclaimed actor, known for classics such as Taxi Driver, Goodfellas, and The Irishman, has repeatedly used his public appearances to bash conservative leaders.

During the Trump administration, De Niro became one of the former president’s most vocal critics, famously declaring “**** Trump” on live television at the Tony Awards.

He has continued his political rants in interviews and public events, calling Trump and his supporters “morons” and claiming that right-wing media spreads dangerous misinformation.

In his latest public remarks, De Niro reportedly took shots at the conservative movement once again, sparking outrage among his critics—including Kelly, who clearly had no patience for his opinions.
