Robert De Niro's the latest prominent Democrat to get mailed a pipe bomb
Robert De Niro hasn’t been shy to denounce our messy president as “a fucking fool,” not-so-cleverly labeling him the “jerk-off in chief.” But, as Trump himself chose not to learn this week, words matter, and the consequences for executing one’s first amendment rights, it appears, is death by explosion. This morning, De Niro found himself the latest left-leaning public figure to be mailed a “suspicious package” carrying what appears to be an explosive device.
CNBC reports that the package was mailed to New York City’s Tribeca Grill, a restaurant co-owned by De Niro. A building worker reported the package at 4 a.m. this morning, and the city’s bomb squad swiftly removed the package from the building. No evacuation was necessary, as the eatery was closed.
