Robert De Niro literally spoke every's truth live on CNN when he was asked about Fox News's reaction to his criticism of Donald Trump.
It all began mildly enough:
This guy should not be president. Period.
CNN host Brian Stelter responds by reminding De Niro that Fox News probably isn't going to like his take, which... we can assume is an accurate prediction. De Niro of course had the perfect response.
Fuck 'em. Fuck 'em!
He seems to quickly remember where he is, and offer a delightfully insincere "sorry!" which sounds a lot like every 6-year-old ever forced to apologise by exasperated parents.

It's all fine though, because "it's cable ... but it's still a Sunday morning," Stelter explains.
Unfazed, De Niro continues
We are in a moment in our lives in this country where this guy is like a gangster...
We're in a terrible situation and this guy just keeps going on and on without being stopped.
People were hard-relating to his sentiment - and no one seemed offended by the F-word, even on a Sunday.
Robert De Niro is my Sunday morning mood. And Monday through Saturday too. https://t.co/W1ySDyN0RZ— Ava DuVernay (@Ava DuVernay) 1569772860
