Robert De Niro Claims: Karoline Leavitt Is Not Qualified to Be a Role Model for Women
In a shocking statement that set both the political world and Hollywood ablaze, legendary actor Robert De Niro publicly declared that Karoline Leavitt – the spokesperson for Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign – is “not qualified to be a role model for women.” The comment quickly became a firestorm online, with social media users fiercely divided.
De Niro’s Bombshell Remark
During a political and cultural event in New York, De Niro – well-known for his outspoken criticism of Donald Trump – was asked about Karoline Leavitt’s rising presence in the media as a bold and articulate young woman representing conservative values.
His response stunned the crowd:
“I didn’t know who she was before, but if someone like that becomes a role model for young people, for women, then that’s just sad. She doesn’t represent anything but political blindness,” De Niro said.
The line “She is not qualified to be a role model for women” instantly exploded across the internet, becoming one of the most debated quotes of the day.
Karoline Leavitt Fires Back
Not one to stay silent, Karoline Leavitt – the youngest congressional candidate in U.S. history and now a prominent face of Trump’s 2024 campaign – fired back at De Niro with a sharp post on X (formerly Twitter):
“Robert De Niro is a washed-up actor clinging to political controversy to stay relevant. I’ll keep fighting for free speech, traditional values, and the right of American women to choose their path – something he clearly doesn’t understand.”
