In a video deemed too partisan to be used in a voting PSA but aired by Fox News host Megyn Kelly, actor Robert De Niro indulges in an impassioned rant about Republican Donald Trump.

"He's so blatantly stupid," De Niro began. "He's a punk, he's a dog, he's a pig, he's a con," the actor added, citing former Secretary of State Colin Powell's description of Trump as a "national disgrace." Alluding to comments Trump made about a protester in February, De Niro continued, "He talks how he’d like to punch people in the face? Well, I’d like to punch him in the face." Watch the clip below.
