Fox News contributor Karl Rove recently slammed the Biden campaign for holding a press conference and having Robert De Niro outside of former President Donald Trump’s trial on Tuesday morning. He labeled it a “big mistake” that should worry President Joe Biden’s supporters.
“Stupid mistake by the Biden campaign! They wanted to get, while all the cameras were there, they wanted to get their moment in the sun. And it was a big mistake,” began Rove.

He continued:
It politicized the trial — better to have waited. And then what was said, with all due respect to Mr. De Niro, who’s a wonderful, wonderful actor, I mean, really the people up for grabs in this election, are they going to be, “Donald Trump wants to destroy New York, destroy America, and destroy the world. And if you reelect him, he’s never going to leave office. He’s going to make himself a tyrant for life.” Are those the kind of credible statements that are going to cause people who don’t like Biden and don’t like Trump, but are trying to figure out who to vote for. are they going to cause people to say, “Well, geez, you now told me you wanted to destroy our country? Of course he did.” The people who believe that are already in the Biden camp. That’s not who they should be trying to reach out to. He came close in a moment of talking about January 6 and talking about the two officers, but that might have had an impact. But this was so over the top as to simply be useless. And what a stupid mistake on the part of the Biden campaign. More reason why Democratic leaders are probably going to be concerned that he’s the nominee, likely nominee of their party.
It has been noted that Robert De Niro press conference was held briefly following the closing arguments that began in Trump’s NYC trial and comes on the heels of a new Politico report suggesting that Democrats are in a “full-blown freakout” over the state of Biden’s campaign.
