National Association of Broadcasters revokes award from Robert De Niro following his criticism of Donald Trump

Robert De Niro was supposed to get a big award, but he didn't because he called Donald Trump names at a trial. De Niro, who is an actor, went to a meeting organized by Democrats outside a court in New York where Trump was being tried for lying about business records before the 2016 election. De Niro said bad things about Trump and argued with Trump's supporters. The National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) decided not to give De Niro the award he was supposed to get. They said the event where he was going to get the award is for everyone, no matter their political beliefs, to celebrate the good work of local broadcasters. They said De Niro's recent actions would take attention away from the good work they wanted to honor. So, they said De Niro can't come to the event anymore. De Niro said he understands and supports the NAB's decision. He also said he wishes them well. De Niro also warned that if Trump gets elected again, he might not leave. Trump called De Niro "pathetic" on social media after what happened. This is the first time a former US president has been found guilty of a crime. Trump says he is innocent and will appeal the decision.
