Karoline Leavitt once again made the public stir when bluntly exposed Robert de Niro in a statement fully recorded by the media. No longer holding the usual restraint in young politicians, she fiercely listed the veteran actor and director of Hollywood, called him “A bad guy in the artist,” and declared: “Everyone deserves to know the truth.”
According to Leavitt, De Niro is not merely an artist with extremist political views, but also a symbol of arrogant culture, where celebrities think that they can manipulate public opinion and trample on anyone who disagrees with the righteousness. She thinks that De Niro has repeatedly used the media to attack conservative attacks is not “freedom of speech”, but an intentional campaign to cause social division.
Leavitt’s speech was made in a live interview, when she was asked about the influence of Hollywood culture on politics and modern social awareness. While many politicians often avoid criticism of influential figures such as De Niro, Leavitt chose to confront. “He is not an honest artist as everyone thinks. He is a cunning director, taking advantage of the glory to cover his deep intentions,” she said definitely.
The incident quickly became a hot topic on social networking platforms. A large part of netizens, especially young people and conservative trends, expressed their support for Leavitt. They see her as a new symbol, not afraid to “expose the truth” of the elite class that has existed for too long without being challenged.
However, the reaction is not completely inclined to one side. Many people also criticized Leavitt for personalizing the problem, saying that she used a personal attack strategy instead of focusing on the argument. Some cultural critics also warned that such speeches may increase polarization, pushing society into unnecessary confrontation whirlpools between art and politics.
Whether loving or hating her, no one can deny that Karoline Leavitt is increasingly asserting his position on the American political map. She not only represents the younger generation who dares to say, dare to do, but also a character that makes the most powerful people not ignore. And this time, the object she aimed for was one of the most powerful names of cinema – Robert de Niro.
