"I just want to say one thing," De Niro said. " F-- Trump. It's no longer down with Trump. It's f-- Trump."

Shame CBS censored him. But it was easy to find out what he said once I checked online...


Editing to add that he got a standing ovation for this.

Editing again to add unedited, uncensored video of this posted on Twitter by The Hollywood Reporter's Rhett Bartlett -- the Australian feed did NOT censor it:

1. As fitting as when Michael Moore went after Shrub at the Academy Awards.

[SergeStorms]

44. I can't believe....

how many "Hollyweird Liberals" were booing what Moore had to say. It just goes to show how they sucked up all the Bush/Cheney propaganda for that war of lies. Many people were afraid of being called "unpatriotic" if they didn't support Bush's war of propaganda. If the ceremony was held six months later those "boos" would have changed to cheers, I'm sure.

[Bigredhunk]

46. -

According to Moore, it wasn't the Hollywood people booing. He said there were corporate people up in the balcony who were doing the booing (people who somehow get invites to attend yet have nothing to do with the movie production).

[SergeStorms]

57. Big money people.

Figures. Thanks for the info.

[snacker]

2. And, he got a standing ovation.

[Rorey]

3. Robert De Niro is one of my favorite actors

And now I love him even more.

[Staph]

4. De Niro was one of the worst hosts ever on Saturday Night Live, but . . .

his Robert Mueller this spring has been spot on! And he obviously is taking great joy in the role!

[Rorey]

8. He reminds me a lot of my dad

I forgive him for the SNL hosting thing.

[Honeycombe8]

21. He reminds me of my dad, too. Except my dad is a Trumper.

A slight difference, I'd say.

[Rorey]

26. My dad would have been appalled by -45.

He was a sensible man, and very intelligent too.

[JI7]

52. I don't think i have seen him host. But his guest appearances have always been good

[Iliyah]

5. ditto

[highplainsdem]

6. Just edited the OP to add uncensored video.

19. Thanks!

10. Joy Reid: Trump's relationship with New York City in a nutshell

Link to tweet

Robert DeNiro’s Trump F-bomb at the Tony Awards is Trump’s relationship with New York City in a nutshell. He’s always a part of it, omnipresent, even, but only in the worst way.

[Cha]

23. Yeah, I hope he's livid and seething over this!

Fuck trump for everything!

[Duppers]

60. Worst way?

I'll tell you what is the worst way, Joy Reid: taking kids from their parents, putting them in cages. And sometimes losing them to traffickers! That is Trump and his brownshirt Gestapo.

And we are supposed to be polite?!!
Fuck that, Joy Reid.

[Cha]

24. What a way to brighten up the mood!

[California_Republic]

12. That doesn't help. N/t

[highplainsdem]

18. Disagree. If De Niro HAD been apolitical, Trump and his deplorable goons would have gloated.

After the last couple of days especially, with Trump attacking our allies and clearly doing Putin's bidding, he deserves all the contempt that can be heaped on him.

[lunatica]

39. What would you suggest that would help

Being polite, or nice doesn’t. Trying to be his friend doesn’t. Speaking reasonably doesn’t. The bull just keeps breaking the china.

[LanternWaste]

58. It helps. Pretending otherwise is unbecoming.

It helps. Pretending otherwise is unbecoming.

[Duppers]

59. Oh, really?

Says you.

More public personalities need to do this, imo.

I ❤ NYers and I'm an old southern gal.

13. Dennis Miller goes after De Niro, and Ken Olin nails him:

17. Gotta love that NYC spirit

[calimary]

20. He certainly speaks for me!

One does not go up against the young Don Vito Corleone and thrive.

[Cha]

22. WOW! That was Spectacular! I love it when they pan the audience!

Fraud has the fucking M$$$$$$M and we have venues like the Tonys!

Mahalo, highplainsdem! Good on the Aussies!

25. Ken Olin: I'm proposing that Robert DeNiro host the Emmys!

27. Trump likes to pretend he's a tough guy from New York

It must really annoy him that *THE* prototypical pretend tough guy from New York says "F*ck Trump" on live television.

How to get a STANDING OVATION at The Tonys? Give the people what they want...always a crowd pleaser!!! #SpeakingTruthToPower #TuckFrump.

[msongs]

29. trump and co will be very happy with deniro's utterance. will use it for PR reasons nt

[highplainsdem]

31. That PR won't change a single vote. See this sarcastic tweet from John Aravosis:

Gosh, I hope De Niro hasn’t hurt our chances of winning over any racist, anti-Semitic, nativist Trump voters in 2018. And they were so close to supporting Pelosi as Speaker...

42. I just saw it here on the West Coast!

I LOVE THIS GUY!

[olddad56]

43. It is too late, Putin has already fucked Trump and the US.

Trump is just Putin's useful idiot. Someday, Trump won't be useful to Putin, and then the truth will come out.
It won't be pretty

[SWBTATTReg]

47. Good for DeNiro! God, I really feel for the folks in NYC now that ...

been exposed to rump and his idiotic rants and ravings for close to 2 1/2 years. No wonder rump lost NY state by a wide margin. They knew what he was like.

Now that everyone has seen rump in full form for 1 1/2 years as president (not mine), his approval levels have collapsed overseas w/ even our allies and here in the US, it's taking a hit constantly, all mainly because of his gutter mouth, his constant lying, breaking or ignoring the law, dipping his hand in the government money till, making decisions solely upon his and only his business interests, as well as cheating (on probably everything).

[pansypoo53219]

48. the trupies will just dig in + cling to the fat idiot.

[turbinetree]

49. Yeah its just fine for the sexual predator to go to his racists gathering and say, well

anything that that sounds like babbling fucking shit come out of mouth and when someone says the word fuck,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,they get bleeped.................well here we go................since CBS enabled the fucking asshole to get elected, because after all Les Mooves said it would be great for stocks, remember..........lets take to the history of fuckery..............and with a song later

This Historian Claims to Have Found the First F*ck Ever Given

Amy Winehouse

FUCK TRUMP.......................November 2018 cannot get here fast enough

[Duppers]

62. Bravo, Amy.

I miss her voice and her truth to power.

[turbinetree]

63. That was Amy.........................

[edbermac]

50. Look at the bright side, trumpmonkeys.

At least wasn’t Joe Pesci at the Tonys.

[Soxfan58]

51. I have to say!

I am tired of celebs getting up and delivering a couple lines about trump and becoming heros. If Robert De niro wants to help use his art to change minds. Michael Moore produces films that open peoples eyes. Jim Carry is doing incredible art with powerful messages. Neil Young sings about impeaching Bush, and Monsanto. If De Niro wants to help maybe he can get Pesci, and Ray Liotta and take trump out to the Pine Barrons. By the way the MSD choir did a wonderful job that was a powerful message.

[Paladin]

53. Well said, Godfather. (nt)

[samnsara]

54. finally somone with fire in their belly.. we need more voices like this to offset the hate

from the trumpers. He said what 55 mil Americans think

[mnhtnbb]

55. I was watching the show--Live--last night when he said it. Censored.

Figured it had to be something like that. Good for Australia for not censoring it!
