Coons Says De Niro’s Deranged Tirade Outside the NYC Courthouse Definitely Wasn’t Political

HUNT: “Do you think that it’s smart for the Biden campaign to be outside the courthouse talking politics. The Trump campaign criticism is that shows that the trial is political. On the flip side, I’m curious, do you think that the Biden campaign should be even more aggressive than that they’ve been considering the state of the polls?”
COONS: “Well, I haven’t thought about this much, Kasie, but I’ll say this. For the last three weeks, literally 24/7 it’s been the only thing that’s been covered on this network. So I appreciate the chance to talk about Taiwan. I appreciate the chance to talk about other foreign policy concerns, the war in Gaza. But I suspect Robert De Niro, who’s a New Yorker, went to the trial, in part because there’s so much press there. If you look at the image you’ve got up on the TV right now, there are more microphones there than there are in the entire island nation of Taiwan. So I suspect he’s there because you’re there.”
