What did rob reiner say after trumps attempted assassination in pensylvania
This fact-check may be outdated. Consider refreshing it to get the most current information.
Executive summary
There is no reporting in the provided sources that records a statement by Rob Reiner made "after Trump's attempted assassination in Pennsylvania"; the documents supplied instead cover Reiner's long-standing criticism of Donald Trump and the furious national reaction after Reiner and his wife were found murdered, including Mr. Trump’s subsequent online attacks on Reiner [1] [2]. Because the supplied reporting does not include any material about an assassination attempt in Pennsylvania or Reiner’s response to such an event, any definitive claim about what Reiner said in that context cannot be supported from these sources [2] [1].
1. What the question asks versus what the reporting actually covers
The user inquiry requests a specific public remark by Rob Reiner following an alleged assassination attempt against Donald Trump in Pennsylvania, but the provided articles focus on Reiner’s criticisms of Trump over recent years and on President Trump’s inflammatory reaction after Reiner and his wife were killed, not on comments Reiner made after an attack on Trump in Pennsylvania—therefore the record here does not answer the question as posed [1] [2].
2. No sourced record of Reiner commenting after a Pennsylvania assassination attempt
A careful reading of the supplied reporting finds no reference to a Trump assassination attempt in Pennsylvania or to any quote from Rob Reiner in the aftermath of such an incident; the available pieces instead document other episodes—so asserting that Reiner said something specific after that event would go beyond what these sources show [2] [3].
3. What the reporting does show about Reiner’s public remarks on Trump
The sources establish Rob Reiner as an outspoken critic of Donald Trump who warned in recent years that Trump posed a threat to democracy and who told interviewers that some behaviors were unacceptable despite political differences, for example commenting on forgiveness after the Charlie Kirk assassination and warning about democratic erosion [1] [3].
4. How Trump responded publicly to Reiner’s death — and why that matters to interpreting prior remarks
Less than a day after Reiner and his wife were found dead, President Trump posted and later defended a post that turned the apparent homicide into a political attack, claiming Reiner “died due to the anger he caused” and invoking the pejorative term “TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME,” then telling reporters he “was not a fan of Rob Reiner at all” and calling him “a deranged person” [2] [4] [5]. Those actions, extensively reported here, sparked widespread outrage because they politicized a violent death while the investigation and arrests were ongoing [3] [4].
5. Political and media fallout reported in the articles
The coverage records rare bipartisan rebukes of the president’s post from Republican congressmen and commentators who called the remarks inappropriate and disrespectful after a brutal killing, while other conservative voices defended or downplayed the comments; outlets including The New York Times, The Guardian, CNN and others noted the controversy and the arrest of the Reiners’ son, who was booked on suspicion of murder [3] [6] [2] [5].
6. Limitations and final assessment
Given the content of the supplied reporting, it is not possible to state what Rob Reiner said after an attempted assassination of Donald Trump in Pennsylvania because the sources do not mention such an event or any Reiner remark tied to it; instead, the materials document Reiner’s prior criticisms of Trump and the aftermath of Reiner’s own death, including Trump’s inflammatory commentary and the ensuing political backlash—readers seeking confirmation of the Pennsylvania episode or any associated Reiner statement will need sources that specifically cover that incident, which are not present here [1] [2] [3].
