Reiner’s remarks were largely praised for their impartial tone and clarity, and now, in the context of his own death, they have gained new relevance.
On Dec. 15 – the day after Reiner’s death – Morgan re-shared the interview clip on X with the caption: “As President Trump trashes Rob Reiner following his murder, a reminder of how Reiner responded on my show to the murder of Charlie Kirk.”
The reposted clip quickly circulated across social media and was widely referenced in commentary highlighting the contrast between the two men’s approaches to violence.
“I voted for Trump three times…Can’t stand him anymore,” one user shared in the comment section of Morgan’s post.
“Have you really only just noticed that Trump is a vile human being?” asked another.
A third penned: “Class versus chaos. Reiner answered violence with dignity. Trump answered death with spite. Legacy keeps receipts.”
“Difference between a well rounded human being and a narcissist who can’t comprehend anything outside himself,” a fourth user added.
