‘Many of these people who are now with Trump are going to be tainted for the rest of their lives’

EXCERPT:

DE NIRO: "And he — I don’t understand why some of these Republicans are not saying, 'I’m out of here. Let me go into private practice, I'm a big shot in my community I’ll get a job. i’ll get paid well — better than I do in Government, probably — and yet, I stay and say, ‘well, I’m staying there to keep an eye on the Government ‘cause we don’t want it to go crazy.’ And I understand that logic. But you — there’s a point that — and many of these people who are now with Trump are going to be tainted for the rest of their lives. They are not going to be — people are not going to want to be around —"

BALDWIN: "If they really stick with him."

DE NIRO: "Yeah. They think they want to be with him, and it’s going to make them give them something, but they are paying such a price—"

BALDWIN: "They will"

DE NIRO: "—uh, making a deal with the devil. it’s — it’s scary."
