Rob Reiner's Words On Charlie Kirk Murder Echo Sadly After Director's Death

The reportedly slain Hollywood giant's reaction to the Christian activist's killing a few months back recirculated on social media.

Rob Reiner’s moving remarks about the killing of Charlie Kirk went viral after the famed director and his wife Michele were found dead Sunday in their Los Angeles home. Both had stab wounds, according to reports.

Reiner, who directed such movie hits as “When Harry Met Sally” after notably playing “Meathead” Michael Stivic on TV’s “All in the Family,” appeared on Piers Morgan “Uncensored” in late September following Kirk’s assassination at a Utah rally earlier in that month.

Reiner, a liberal political activist, paid more than lip service to the shooting of Kirk, a get-out-the-vote advocate for young conservatives, when Morgan asked Reiner for his gut reaction to the assassination.

“Absolute horror and I unfortunately saw the video of it,” Reiner replied. “It’s beyond belief what happened to him. That should never happen to anybody. I don’t care what your political beliefs are. That’s not acceptable. That’s not a solution so solving problems.”

“And I felt like what his wife [Erika] said at the service at the memorial they had, was exactly right,” he continued. “I’m Jewish but I believe in the teachings of Jesus and I believe in ‘do unto others’ and I believe in forgiveness and what she said to me was beautiful. She forgave his assassin. And I think that is admirable.”
