‘The View’ Forced to Bleep De Niro’s Profane Trump Rant
Robert De Niro has got a lot more to say about Donald Trump—but if you were watching his appearance on The View on Tuesday, you likely didn’t catch all of it.
During a sit-down to promote his new film Ezra, The View hosts couldn’t resist asking De Niro about Trump, who’s been the subject of several profanity-laced critiques by the Oscar winner. But on the ABC live daytime show, De Niro’s thoughts had to be cut short and bleeped out.
Referecing Hitler and Mussolini, De Niro began, “I don’t understand why people are not taking [Trump] seriously. You read about it historically in other countries, that they didn’t take the people seriously. Who does not think that this guy is not going to do exactly what he says he’s gonna do? He’s done it already.”
