“It was like watching a WNBA game”: Fox's Jesse Watters says Robert De Niro's interviews criticizing Trump are “boring.”

Fox News host Jesse Watters on Wednesday slammed actor Robert De Niro for his vocal and frequent criticism of Donald Trump, including saying he wanted to "punch [Trump] in the face."

“He is the most boring interview. He used to sell his movies on Leno and Letterman, and it was like watching a WNBA game. You just were just bored to death,” Watters said. “Then all of a sudden Trump became president and he started saying things — ‘I want to punch the president in the face. … He's a crooked piece of’ — and then all of a sudden De Niro became interesting during his media tours, and that's the only way now he can get publicity for his film, is by cursing and saying whatever he says.”

De Niro on Tuesday compared the former president to historic autocratic leaders Hitler and Mussolini, and warned that voters need to take his threats seriously in the 2024 presidential election.
