Robert De Niro's The View rant about Donald Trump censored as he warns of 'civil conflict'

Robert De Niro, during his appearance on The View, launched into a passionate tirade about former President Donald Trump . The actor's speech was heavily censored due to the use of explicit language, including multiple instances of the f-bomb.

In a portion of his speech that wasn't bleeped out, De Niro said: "Imagine if he really won the election: it's over. We are going to experience a huge civil conflict. What he says at his events is that he is going to hit someone in the face, who says that? You don't tell people that. He wants to do the worst for this country."

The View , which is recorded in front of a live audience, had its tech team working swiftly to censor De Niro's rapid-fire speech. Despite the censorship, viewers could still see the actor's lips moving on screen.

One viewer called for a lip reader, asking: "Are there lip readers out there who can tell us what Robert De Niro was just beeped for a full ten seconds about Donald Trump ? Bob frequently plays a mafiosa type, but he feels the Donald is one in real life! ".

"The best part of De Niro's comments were bleeped out! ! ! " exclaimed one fan. Another eagerly requested: "I'll need the uncensored Robert De Niro interview please."

During a lighter moment, the hosts asked De Niro about his illustrious career. Alyssa Farah Griffin, while discussing an upcoming tribute, inadvertently suggested De Niro was much older than his years, reports the Mirror US .

She said: "The first ever De Niro Con is going to be taking place at the Tribeca Film Festival. Whoopi's going to mod a panel, I understand, with you and Billy Crystal. It's the celebration of 80 years of your career".

De Niro interrupted with a puzzled "80 years" as Joy clarified he would have to be 120 years old to have such a lengthy career. Alyssa promptly corrected herself, explaining she meant to celebrate the span of his career, not its duration.

Alyssa then asked what De Niro was most anticipating about the event. He responded: "I don't know. I have no idea. I'm hoping it's not gonna be embarrassing, that's all. They wanted to do it. I said, 'Oh this is gonna be interesting.' Let's see."
