Whoopi Goldberg blasts Donald Trump for Rob Reiner attacks: ‘You aint my president, man’

Whoopi Goldberg discussed her anger with the president’s reaction to Rob Reiner’s death on “The View.”

Whoopi Goldberg has one question for President Donald Trump: “Can you get any lower?”

Upon the tragic news of Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner’s death on Sunday, which police are calling a homicide, President Trump did not mourn the couple. Instead, he attacked Rob Reiner and called him “deranged.” On Truth Social, he wrote that Reiner’s death was “reportedly due to the anger he caused others,” and that he had a “mind crippling disease known as TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME,” later telling reporters, “I thought he was very bad for our country.”

Reiner was a staunch critic of Trump, and has spoken out against the president several times over his two administrations, calling him “mentally unfit” and equating Trump’s leadership to facism. He was also a champion for progressive causes such as the legalization of same-sex marriage and supporting initiatives that fund early childhood development. He also hosted an event for Kamala Harris’ presidential run and backed Hilary Clinton’s 2016 campaign.

Goldberg, who was a friend of Reiner, shared her frustration with the president’s comments on her talk show “The View,” where she told the panel he had gone too far.

“I don’t understand the man in that White House. Because he talks so much about Charlie Kirk and caring, and suddenly this is what he puts out,” she said. “Have you no shame? No shame at all? Can you get any lower? I don’t think so.”

She made a point to the audience that there had been multiple tragedies over the last couple of days, from Reiner’s death to the recent mass shootings at Brown University and in Bondi Beach in Australia.

“Through Rob, to what’s happened at Bondi Beach, to what’s happened at Brown, and you don’t find the time to say as Americans, ‘We hate what’s happening?’ You ain’t my president, man,” she said.

Reiner and his wife were found dead in their home in Los Angeles on Sunday, and now police have arrested their son, Nick, and booked him for their murder. Goldberg spoke about her relationship with Reiner on “The View,” saying he was a “stand-up guy.”

“He was a friend. I literally saw him the last time I did the Kennedy Center, because we were honoring Billy [Crystal],” she told her co-hosts, while a photo of the two of them from the event appeared on the screen. “This is when Billy got the Mark Twain Award. But we were together quite a bit and he was a wonderful director and a guy who was a stand up guy. And he fought for the stuff that was right,” she said.
