Hollywood director Rob Reiner, whose myriad leftist bloviations have been sputtering forth for years, added one more on Monday, tweeting that anyone who supports President Trump is a racist. Reiner tweeted, “The President of the United States is a racist. He’s made it abundantly clear his re-election is based on white nationalism. If you support him, there can be no distinction between you being a racist and a racist enabler. They are the same.”
That followed Reiner’s pronouncement on Saturday: “Donald Trump’s mind is infested. With racism, with misogyny, with lies, with bigotry, with hate.”
Reiner not only thinks Trump is a racist; he has some other appellations for him: earlier this month he tweeted, “Every day between now and Election Day in Nov. of 2020, you have only to keep reminding yourself that the President of the United States is a Racist, a Liar, a Sexual Predator and a Criminal. The choice is easy.”
Reiner’s wacko leftism has been in evidence for decades. In 2004, Reiner praised Michael Moore’s film “Fahrenheit 9/11,” which insinuated that President George W. Bush colluded with the family of terrorist Osama Bin Laden so that they could escape the United States after 9/11. He enthused, “I think this is one of the most important films ever made. It has the potential of actually affecting the election, and if it does, it will change the world.”
In 2006, Reiner slammed ABC for airing the miniseries “Path to 9/11,” which chronicled the actions taken during the Clinton administration that allowed Osama Bin Laden to evade capture before 9/11, writing, “ABC along with everyone who had anything to do with the production should be ashamed of themselves. I think we all can agree that it’s in everybody’s best interests for the Republicans to be searching out the perpetrators who were complicit in the 9/11 attacks, rather than spending time actively trying to set the blame on the previous administration.”
In 2014, Reiner likened the terrorist group Hamas to the conservative Tea Party in America. He started, “Well, there again, you’ve got a horrible situation where you have an extreme faction, the Hamas, that controls Gaza, that is written into their playbook, the destruction of Israel. The destruction of every Jew on the planet, you can’t negotiate with that, you have to say either Hamas goes away and the Palestinian authority takes over all that region and deal with some kind of honest broker here, and create the two state solution. The Palestinians turned down the ability to have their own state in 1948 when Israel was formed, so clearly, Hamas, and again, the virulent faction of a, really, uh, strong, uh, fundamental group can control everything.”
Then he added, “You look at the Congress right now in the United States, you’ve got a strong Tea Party group controlling the whole country, because they have a gridlock, they have a gridlock, uh, stranglehold on [House Speaker John] Boehner. Boehner can’t make a move, and so for that reason, nothing gets brought up in the Congress, so anytime you’re dealing with an extreme group, you cannot negotiate with them, and they way to do it is to eliminate it, with the Tea Party, you have to go through political thing, you have to wait till 2020 to redistrict, but, ugh, that is really tough stuff.”
