Robert De Niro says Trump ‘doesn’t care’ about number of deaths<\/h3>\n

Robert De Niro\u2019s\u00a0long-running feud with Donald Trump took an awkward turn as the actor used his speech at the Gotham Awards to blast the former US President.<\/p>\n

During the evening, the Hollywood icon claimed the speech he was reading from a teleprompter had been edited, causing him to mess up his lines.<\/p>\n

As a result, the 80-year-old looked visibly confused as he paused, and backtracked when he tried to pay tribute to his critically acclaimed Western, Killers Of The Flower Moon.<\/p>\n

De Niro was accompanied by his co-stars Leonardo Di Caprio and Lily Gladstone to celebrate the film which was directed by his longtime friend and collaborator Martin Scorsese.<\/p>\n

However as he took to the stage, the actor made it clear that he planned to include several cutting words and seemingly accused the awards show of editing his remarks.<\/p>\n

Acknowledging the edit, a frustrated De Niro stated: \u201cI\u2019m going to go back. I\u2019m sorry. Okay there was a mistake in this. I\u2019ll keep going. Just keep scrolling.<\/p>\n

\u201cFilmmakers on the other hand strive \u2014 this is where I came in and I saw that they edited all that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Speaking at the Gotham Awards via Variety, he continued: \u201cThe beginning of my speech was edited, cut out, and I didn\u2019t know about it. And I want to read it.<\/p>\n

\u201cHistory isn\u2019t history anymore. Truth is not truth. Even facts are being replaced by alternative facts and driven by conspiracy theories and ugliness.\u201d<\/p>\n

In his speech, the actor also referenced a racist statement from a 1971 Playboy interview with John Wayne.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Duke, John Wayne, famously said of Native Americans, \u2018I don\u2019t feel we did wrong in taking this great country away from them. There were great numbers of people who needed new land and the Indians were selfishly trying to keep it for themselves.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cLying has become just another tool in the charlatan\u2019s arsenal. The former President lied to us more than 30,000 times during his four years in office.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd he\u2019s keeping up the pace in his current campaign of retribution. But in all his lies, he can\u2019t hide his soul.<\/p>\n
