Rob Reiner: Does Trump Regret Hurting Mexicans, Muslims, Blacks, Gays, the Khans, Women, the Disabled, and Jews?


Rob Reiner is the latest Hollywood celeb to attack Trump, and he’s not mincing words. He’s not only attacking the candidate, but his supporters as well.

You’ve been tweeting a lot about Donald Trump lately.

I’ve never tweeted before. I only started because to me it was — it was so upsetting, I figured, I gotta weigh in here. I usually try to just react to whatever’s going on — yesterday [Aug. 18], he made that speech where he said, “I regret having hurt people.” So I tweeted like two hours ago, three hours ago, something. It says, “Media must press Trump. Who does he regret hurting? Mexicans, Muslims, Blacks, Gays, the Khans, women, the disabled, Jews? Who exactly?”

Have you gotten much abuse from Trump supporters?

Oh yeah. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been “Meatheaded” [a reference to Reiner’s All in the Family character] since I joined Twitter. People will come up to me every once in a while and ask me, “Do people still call you Meathead?” And I’ll say, “You’re the first one today.” I’ll make that joke. But now I’m getting “Meatheaded” like it’s going out of style.

How do you feel about the fact that Steve Bannon, Trump’s new campaign CEO, has a piece of the profits from Seinfeld, which Castle Rock produced?

I found that out two days ago, and it’s the craziest thing. We were owned by Ted Turner, and when Ted Turner sold his entire company to Warner Bros., he must’ve employed Goldman Sachs and this guy Steve Bannon. How he got a percentage of Seinfeld, I don’t know. But it’s very disturbing to me that that guy is making money off Seinfeld. I mean, all these conspiracy things that he throws out there, it’s ugly, ugly stuff.

If All in the Family were on the air today, would Archie be a Trump supporter?

Absolutely, 100 percent. Trump is from Queens. Archie is born and raised in Queens. They have the same kind of mentality. Archie was a bigot, and the things that come out of Trump’s mouth are totally bigoted. So yeah, he definitely would be. That would be some good arguments we’d being having.

This isn’t the worst thing Reiner has said about Trump. In the past, he called both the candidate and his supporters racist lunatics.
