Watch The View cut Robert De Niro's audio as actor says 'f---' multiple times in Donald Trump rant

Robert De Niro brought a profane criticism fit for a raging bull as he discussed former President Donald Trump on Tuesday's episode of The View — with a representative for the actor confirming to Entertainment Weekly that the actor was censored as "he said 'f---’'a few times" on the live show.

The actor, who stars opposite moderator Whoopi Goldberg in the new movie Ezra, stopped by the Hot Topics table to promote the pair's collaboration, though cohost Sunny Hostin asked the Hollywood legend about his long-standing disdain for Trump before the interview was over.

"I used to see these things, I didn't understand how he and Rosie O'Donnell used to get into it," De Niro said. "I see what a hateful, mean-spirited, awful thing he is. He's vicious."

Panelist Joy Behar also defended former View cohost O'Donnell, and pointed out that Trump also "makes fun of the physically challenged" and "trashes the military" while urging Americans to "wake up" to his behavior and not vote for him in the November election.

"Why will he not do that in this country? He's already done it. When I said I want to punch him in the face, it's because of what he said to a bystander at one of his rallies. He wants to punch them in the face. You don't talk that way to people. What kind of person does that?" De Niro continued, referencing his past comments about Trump.

"It's almost like he wants to do the worst that he could possibly do to show this country..." De Niro said, before the show censored what he said next. The audio briefly returned, with De Niro clearly saying (in the video above) that "his slogan should be" before his audio dropped once again, with the 80-year-old seemingly following it up with "f--- America" and "I want to f--- America." (Entertainment Weekly has reached out to representatives for The View and De Niro for comment.)

Earlier this week, Goldberg also hit out at Trump after the former president tweeted a meme about her potentially leaving the country if he were to be elected to a second term.

"You know what I’m a little agitated about? That man had something to say to me. He saw a meme," Goldberg said, referencing Trump's recent criticism of the inaccurate assumption that the 68-year-old Ghost Oscar winner would vacate the nation if he won the election. "People always see these crazy memes that I’m going to leave the country if he gets in there. Somebody else thought I was leaving, was sending suggestions for people to take my place. Look. I’m not going anywhere, okay?"
