Robert De Niro Censored On ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’ While Ranting About Trump: “He’s A F—king Moron”
Robert De Niro had some strong words for Donald Trump on this morning’s episode of The View. The actor was censored four different times while ranting about the “vicious” former POTUS.
De Niro has long been critical of Trump — and he did not hold his feelings back when discussing the upcoming presidential election with The View co-hosts.
“I don’t understand why people are not taking him seriously. You read about it historically in other countries that they didn’t take people seriously — Hitler, Mussolini,” De Niro said. “Who does not think that this guy is not gonna do exactly what he says he’s gonna do? He’s done it already.”
The Oscar winner then turned his attention to fervent Trump supporters. “They might think that it’s gonna make their life better or they just want to — excuse my French,” he said, giving fair warning to the sound crew, who proceeded to censor him for three seconds.
“Those people who support him with anger and hate — because that’s what he’s about — they are gonna see,” De Niro continued. “I see what a hateful, mean-spirited, awful thing he is. He’s vicious. Why will he not do that in this country? He’s already done it.”
Joy Behar also chimed in, telling De Niro of the times Trump “made fun” of people with physical challenges and “trashed” the military.
“He’s done everything. What more do you need? It’s almost like he wants to do the worst that he could possibly do to show this country —” De Niro said as his audio was muted for another two seconds.
The sound very briefly returned, only to cut out for four seconds. The audio came back again for a quick moment, before it went back out for another chunk of time — meaning De Niro managed to get censored four different times during his interview. While it was not clear what he said, there were certainly a few F-bombs based on the way his mouth moved.
When the sound was turned back on for good, the audience was cheering on the actor.
“He’s not even conceding it now. Imagine if he did actually win the election. It’s over,” De Niro added. “We’re gonna have such civil strife. All the things he says — because everybody’s now onto him where he projects what he’s saying — it’s what he wants and what he envisions the world to be, which is chaos and craziness. Total craziness.”
The View airs on weekdays at 11/10c on ABC.
