Yes, President Donald Trump could have taken the high ground rather than excoriating Rob Reiner, the actor, director and producer found stabbed to death, along with his wife. The Reiners’ son, Nick, has been arrested in connection with the murders.
Trump doubled down in a Truth Social post, telling reporters: “I think he hurt himself career-wise. He became like a deranged person, Trump derangement syndrome. So, I was not a fan of Rob Reiner at all in any way, shape or form. I thought he was very bad for our country.”
Criticism about Trump’s harsh remarks even came from Trump supporters. But consider Rob Reiner’s actions against and statements about candidate and President Trump.
Reiner, months after Trump won the presidency in 2016, co-founded the “nonpartisan” Committee to Investigate Russia. Its mission, said Reiner, was to serve as a “one-stop shop where people can come and be made aware of what the breaking news stories are today, the various investigations, what stages they are in, but also to the understand the history, and what the Soviet Union and now Russia has been trying to do for many, many years … My concern is people don’t understand the gravity of what they were able to do.”
This committee’s advisory board included former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper; former Director of the Central Intelligence Agency Michael Hayden; former Secretary of Defense, Director of the CIA and former White House Chief of Staff Leon Panetta; and former Acting Director of the CIA Michael Morell. They were among the 51 “senior” former intelligence officials who signed the letter claiming the Hunter Biden laptop story “has all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation.”
The Trump-Russian collusion narrative has been debunked. The Russians failed to change a single vote tally. As to the Russia-interfered-to-help-Trump narrative, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard stated, “President Obama and his national security cabinet members manufactured and politicized intelligence to lay the groundwork for what was essentially a years-long coup against President Trump.”
And the Hunter Biden laptop story was not only true, but it also revealed President Joe Biden clearly lied when he denied knowing anything about his son’s overseas business dealings.
