Jeanine Pirro fires back at Robert De Niro for his wokeness: “Come back when you have a building with your name on it.”

De Niro and New York

In a 2015 interview with Cigar Aficionado, De Niro spoke about his connection to New York: “I am a New Yorker. You have so many things in New York that you don’t have in other places. People come here to find themselves from all parts of the world and the country.”

He continued, “It’s a place where you can find your identity, be anonymous, or be part of a community. I like New York because it has seasons. L.A. is too spread out, and you drive all the time. It’s just not the same experience. I’m a New Yorker. I like to stay here.”

De Niro’s words and actions reflect his deep-rooted connection to New York City and his ongoing efforts to support and revitalize it.
