Watch Robert De Niro’s NSFW message to critics of the language he used about Trump
Robert De Niro has been one of Donald Trump’s most high-profile and very vocal critics, including this clear and NSFW speech at the Tony Awards.
Here's video of DeNiro swearing at Trump on #TonyAwards

That moment came up again during this interview on CNN, and his reaction could probably have been predicted.
—@BrianStelter asks Robert De Niro about criticism he gets from Fox for speaking out against Trump.
"Fuck em," De Niro replies. "Fuck em."
Stelter reminds him, "This is cable, so it's not an FCC violation, but it is still a Sunday morning." pic.twitter.com/9IOo1VvXCM

Most people were very much in favour of his latest no-nonsense outburst.

Let’s be outraged at what’s happening to our democracy. Not at Robert De Niro’s language. Like seriously. F*ck ‘em. And let’s save this country. Thank you Robert De Niro. Dust to the folks concerned about Sunday morning language. Are you kidding? https://t.co/jDSP3Orl6n

When you invite Robert De Niro, do NOT try to direct him or edit him. https://t.co/oVexakWi75

Singer Kaya Jones seemed to imply some hypocrisy in Robert de Niro calling Trump a gangster.
Disgusting language and on the holy day of rest. Says the actor who’s played more gangsters than anyone else. I’ll be praying for you https://t.co/5dhGoqaveb

Presumably, she also thinks Andy Serkis is a chimpanzee.
