Jimmy Kimmel fires back with 2 scathing words
Hollywood was shaken by the brutal deaths of Rob and Michele Reiner,
a tragedy that quickly became politicized after the president posted on Truth Social,
framing Reiner’s death as the result of “Trump derangement syndrome.”
Critics condemned the message as cruel, saying it turned mourning into a partisan attack.
When later questioned, the president refused to soften his remarks,
instead calling Reiner “deranged” and claiming he had been “very bad for our country,”
intensifying backlash and reigniting concerns about public civility.
Late-night hosts responded somberly.
Jimmy Kimmel described the comments as coming from a “sick and irresponsible man’s mouth,”
while Stephen Colbert urged viewers to remember that personal tragedy is “sacred ground.”
The debate darkened further as reports emerged of a “very loud argument”
between Reiner and his son before the couple’s stabbing deaths and the son’s arrest,
underscoring the human cost behind the political uproar.
