The New York Post reported that the man held up the “Keep America Great” flag during the curtain call of “A Bronx Tale,” which De Niro directed.
Social media posts show the man holding up the flag at the end of the show.
The times we live in. At the end of A Bronx Tale, a man turned around and faced the audience to show us how big of a pair he has. He was escorted shortly after. It's sad that people can't enjoy a beautiful show and embrace its unifying message without politicizing it. #broadway pic.twitter.com/6tVN4Qf4d6

The Post reported that those in the audience did not respond to the man, and that he was escorted out shortly afterward.
De Niro, who has publicly criticized the president since his campaign, said “f--- Trump” onstage at the Tony Awards earlier this month. He received a standing ovation for the comment.
Trump responded with a tweet questioning if De Niro was “punch-drunk.”
