Washington's fight with Robert De Niro persists, as the Oscar-winning actor continues to speak out against the Trump administration.

During an interview on "Hannity," Stephen Miller, President Donald Trump's homeland security advisor and deputy chief of staff for policy, slammed De Niro and called the 82-year-old actor a "sad, bitter, broken old man" who "has been degrading himself on camera with one horrific film after another."

"He has not made a movie worth watching in at least 30 years," Miller added.

The comments come after De Niro's scathing criticism of Miller, during an appearance on MSNBC on Oct. 19 to discuss the recent No Kings Day protests, calling him the "Goebbels" of Trump's cabinet. Paul Goebbels was the chief propagandist for the Nazi Party and one of Hitler's closest and most passionate followers. "(He's) a Nazi!" De Niro said. "Yes, he is, and he's Jewish. He should be ashamed of himself."

De Niro, a longtime Trump critic, also spoke out on the president, sharing concerns that the president will attempt to remain in office after his second term ends in January 2029. "We can't let up."

Asked about De Niro's comments, Miller fired back: "He is not taken seriously by anybody. Not by his family, friends, community. He is a shell of a man, and everybody disregards everything he says." He added that "The Godfather" actor has had "the longest string of flops, failures, embarrassments" over the last three decades.
