ff Robert de Niro had said this about a Muslim would it be a hate crime?

Here in the old UK it most probably would.

Let's look at what he said and it would be difficult to surpass it in eloquence.  


NEW YORK: Hollywood icon Robert De Niro has issued a scathing attack on Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, calling him a "punk" and a "dog" and saying he would like to "punch him in the face".

De Niro's comments were filmed for a celebrity campaign to encourage people to vote in the upcoming elections, but ultimately not used. The full video was aired on Fox New's "Kelly File" on Friday (October 08).

In the comments for the #VoteYourFuture campaign, De Niro says Trump is "blatantly stupid" and an "idiot".

"He's an embarrassment to this country. It makes me so angry that this country has gotten to this point that this fool, this bozo, has wound up where he is.'

What an 'a....h...e' this chap is, another crazed lefty 'artist' employing Tourettes Syndrome as a means to argument and criticism.
