US EditionTrump Condemned for Saying Critical Filmmaker Brought on Own Murder
Republican figures including Thomas Massie and Marjorie Taylor Greene condemned Trump's post as disrespectful, with police arresting the Reiners' son on suspicion of murder.
- On Sunday, President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social attacking filmmaker Rob Reiner after the couple were found dead in their Los Angeles home, blaming Reiner using the `TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME` line.
- Past clashes between Rob Reiner and President Donald Trump set the backdrop for the Truth Social attack, as Reiner had criticized Trump after the Charlie Kirk killing and Trump has a record of incendiary posts targeting critics.
- Representative Thomas Massie and Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene quickly condemned the post as inappropriate, with Don Bacon saying he'd expect such comments from a drunk at a bar, and Jenna Ellis also denouncing it.
- The reaction suggested a rare public rift within the Republican Party as spontaneous criticism from House Speaker Mike Johnson's conference on Monday signaled slipping control over GOP lawmakers and conservative supporters, with unusually negative responses on Truth Social increasing backlash.
- With Nick Reiner detained as a person of interest and his personal struggles publicized, critics said the timing of the president's attack was especially insensitive.
