.@KristenHCNN: “Mr. President, a number of Republicans have denounced your statement on Truth Social after the murder of Rob Reiner. Do you stand by that post?”

In my opinion, condolences are in order.

I find this post by President Trump to be highly inappropriate.

Unfortunately, he chose to offer his honest feelings. He chose not to pretend Rob Reiner didn't spend years mercilessly attacking him and his supporters.

For example, some posts from Rob Reiner:

Did you say anything when Rob said all of this and more….it is a tragedy for the Reiner for sure. Unfortunately Rob spewed hate daily against Trump and false accusations…. Plus what he said about Rush pic.twitter.com/b890ixN3av

You forget it was vitriol like the crap Reiner was spewing for years that helped convince a troubled young man to shoot Trump in the head. Sometimes what comes around goes around. Rob was not a good person and although no one deserves to be murdered, he was no saint. pic.twitter.com/6QOMagkWDM

I wish, in response to this horrific crime, the president had offered a bland expression of sympathy or said nothing.

Rob Reiner's Argument With Son At Conan O'Brien's Christmas Party

#EXCLUSIVE 🚨 Rob Reiner & son Nick got into a heated argument at Conan O'Brien's Christmas party over the weekend.

Details: https://t.co/Px4WSRPcie pic.twitter.com/PCKWOO0twp

— TMZ (@TMZ) December 15, 2025

From TMZ:

Rob Reiner, his wife Michele, and their son Nick attended Conan O'Brien's Christmas party Saturday night. At the party, Rob and Nick got into a "very loud argument," loud enough for many others to hear ... Reiner family sources tell TMZ. We're told Rob and Michele then left the party. We do not know if Nick left as well.

Our family sources add … Michele had been anguishing to friends over the last few months that she and Rob were at their wits' end over Nick's mental illness and alleged substance abuse issues, and did not know what to do with their son Nick … saying, "We've tried everything."

Tragic.
