Where can I find archived copies of Rob Reiner's social posts from 2024 and 2025?
This fact-check may be outdated. Consider refreshing it to get the most current information.
Executive summary
Rob Reiner was an active, often outspoken presence on platforms including X/Twitter and BlueSky through 2024 and 2025; news coverage shows posts from him circulated widely and that some accounts were later deleted or otherwise altered after the November 2024 election (see reporting on his BlueSky/X posts) [1] [2]. If you want archived copies of his 2024–2025 social posts, reporters and researchers rely on a mix of platform-native archives, third‑party archiving services and news reprints — but available sources do not list a single centralized public archive for every Reiner post from that period [1] [2] [3].
1. Where Reiner’s posts were reported and quoted — news outlets as a primary archive
Major outlets repeatedly quoted or screenshot his social posts in 2024–2025: for example, AllSides highlighted his return to X/Twitter and quoted posts urging an information strategy in November 2024 [1]. Newsweek and other outlets ran stories that included verbatim lines or engagement metrics from his posts around the 2024 DNC [3]. Use these contemporaneous news stories to recover text and context when the original posts are missing [3] [1].
2. Platform-level places to check — X/Twitter, BlueSky and Truth Social
Reiner posted on X/Twitter and BlueSky in 2024 and 2025 according to reporting; some articles specifically cite BlueSky posts from November 2024 and his return to X/Twitter after the election [2] [1]. For posts still live, use the platform’s profile timeline and the platform’s own search and archive tools. Available sources note that Reiner’s original X account was reported deleted after Trump’s 2024 victory, meaning a direct platform search may fail for some 2024 material [4] [2].
3. Third‑party archives and social‑media snapshot services
When platform posts are deleted, journalists often turn to snapshot/archival mirrors (Archive.ph, Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine) and screenshot archives quoted by other outlets. One example in the results shows an Archive.ph snapshot of an X post that referenced Reiner trending in September 2024 [5]. Search those services for his profile URLs, specific post URLs or known screenshots referenced by news stories [5].
4. Newswire and wire‑service live coverage for 2025 — a source of preserved quotes
The December 2025 coverage of Reiner’s death shows many outlets reprinting or quoting his social commentary while reporting on the homicide and political fallout (AP, NYT live updates, CNN, CBS, Variety and others). Those articles include direct quotes and screenshots of posts from both Reiner and political figures reacting to him [6] [7] [8] [9] [10]. Use wire‑service live pages and aggregated reaction pieces to assemble a timeline of his posts and the public response [7] [9].
5. Discrepancies, deletions and caution about authenticity
Reporting indicates account deletion and possible imitation accounts: one outlet reported Reiner deleted an original account after the November 2024 result [4] and others show posts on BlueSky/X that could be later removed [2] [1]. Archive captures, screenshots and multiple independent news citations are necessary to corroborate a post’s authenticity; single social screenshots without corroboration risk being misattributed [4] [5].
6. Practical search path to build your archive
Start with direct platform queries for Rob Reiner’s verified handles; then search the Wayback Machine and Archive.ph for his profile pages and specific post URLs cited in stories [5]. Next, pull contemporaneous news stories that quoted his posts (AllSides, Newsweek, Variety, CNN, NYT live updates) and save their screenshots and permalinks [1] [3] [10] [8] [7]. Finally, collect any media‑hosted screenshots in stories (often embedded) and cross‑check with other outlets to reduce risk of misattribution [1] [7].
7. Political context and why posts were heavily covered
Journalists treated Reiner’s social media as newsworthy because he was a high‑profile, persistent critic of Donald Trump and his posts shaped political reaction; coverage of his posts escalated again amid the 2024 election aftermath and the December 2025 homicide reporting, when political figures and the president himself publicly referenced or ridiculed his views [1] [3] [9] [10]. That political salience explains why news archives are a useful recovery resource [1] [3].
Limitations: none of the provided sources identify a single public repository that contains every Rob Reiner post from 2024–2025; available sources do not mention such a centralized archive, so reconstruction must use platform searches, snapshot services and contemporaneous news reporting [1] [2] [5].
