Analysis Summary
Robert De Niro opened a June 15 benefit concert in New York with a sarcastic jab at the White House UFC event (Freedom 250), joking that he was welcoming people who couldn't get tickets. The event was part of a counter-programming effort by celebrities including Jane Fonda and Bette Midler to protest Trump administration policies they view as threatening free speech. De Niro's quip was rooted in reality — the UFC event did occur at the White House while liberal celebrities held a simultaneous 'Rise Up, Sing Out' concert in NYC to voice opposition.
