The “Meet the Parents” star was quite vocal about his approval of Hillary Clinton for President of the USA- “Well, for that reason [electing our first female President] it would be important. Almost more important is that she is who she is. She’s paid her dues. She’s been through the mill.”
Furthermore, declared De Niro, “Yeah, and she withstood it. She deserves to be president. She’s prepared. She’ll make mistakes. Everybody does. It’s a hard job, to say the least. She’s as qualified or more qualified than anybody else. And paid her dues. Period.”
