Northern League party leader Matteo Salvini on Tuesday urged Roma Gypsies allegedly extorting money from the homeless in Milan to be "kicked out of Italy on their ass".
"I hope these people will be kicked out of Italy on their ass," Salvini tweeted.
Beneath the tweet was a video clip from TV show Striscia la Notizia in which an undercover reporter confronts three Roma Gypsies he secretly filmed demanding 10 euros a night to sleep rough at Milan's Linate airport and offering the homeless blankets for 20 euros.
The video shows the reporter chasing one of the three Roma Gypsies around the airport yelling "Shame on you!" while the woman shouts back at him "Italians are shit!" and "Give me your house to live in!"
