Leftist Rob Reiner conflates 'white evangelicals' with 'white supremacists' in anti-Trump tweet, says both 'made a pact with Putin'
December 02, 2019
'But unlike a pact with the Devil, this one can be unsigned'
Left-wing filmmaker Rob Reiner — arguably known as much for his hatred of President Donald Trump as for his directing prowess — conflated "white evangelicals" with "white supremacists" in a Saturday Twitter post:
"Every elected Republican knows that this President is guilty of countless Impeachable offenses," Reiner wrote. "But they, along with many White Evangelicals & White Supremacists have made a pact with [Vladimir] Putin. But unlike a pact with the Devil, this one can be unsigned."
'Rob — you need professional help'
Reiner's tweet received over 37,000 likes as of Monday morning, however, a cursory review of the replies at the top of his feed reflect overwhelming disdain for the "All in the Family" alum's point of view:
- "Rob — you need professional help. You have become unhinged with [Trump Derangement Syndrome]."
- "OK boomer."
- "Hahahaha OMG this is hilarious! Keep it up #MAGA2020Landslide #TDS all the way."
- "Wow....drugs?"
- "We understand...too scared to leave it to the voters in 2020?"
- "Is there a psychiatrist in the House?"
- "The lights are on but nobody is home, Rob. Chill."
Oh, and there was a parting shot from Reiner's back-in-the-day TV father-in-law, Archie Bunker:

Anything else?
Reiner's Twitter feed of late contains what appear to be daily barbs tossed at Trump and his supporters, which isn't too surprising given the Hollywood heavyweight's behavior since Trump took office:
- Last year Reiner blamed the government shutdown on the GOP's "racism" and added that Republicans are "frightened to death of the browning of America."
- Reiner tweeted in 2017 that the "fight to save democracy" fromTrump "is now an all out war." He added a "treason" hashtag in the tweet focusing on Russian collusion.
- Reiner also claimed that year that Russian meddling in the election was "the greatest attack on this democracy since 1941" — meaning Japan's surprise bombing of Pearl Harbor.
- Just after the election, Reiner called Trump a "moron" and again said the U.S. was now "fighting the last big major battle since the Civil War."
- He also told MSNBC's "Morning Joe" months prior to the election that Trump's campaign success was partly due to "a lot of people who are racists" — which prompted co-host Joe Scarborough to reply, "Oh, my God. Did you just say that?"
