MAGA’s vow to never mock opponents’ deaths broken at first opportunity
Just weeks ago, MAGA figures vowed after Charlie Kirk’s assassination that they would never celebrate or mock the death of a political opponent. That commitment lasted until Monday morning, when President Trump posted that Rob Reiner died from “a mind crippling disease known as TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME.”
Reiner and his wife Michele were found dead in their Los Angeles home over the weekend in what police are investigating as a homicide. Their 32-year-old son Nick has been arrested. It’s a family tragedy involving addiction and mental health — not politics.
Even Trump’s staunchest allies couldn’t stomach it. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, rarely one to criticize the president, pushed back directly: “Rob Reiner and his wife were tragically killed at the hands of their own son, who reportedly had drug addiction and other issues, and their remaining children are left in serious mourning and heartbreak. This is a family tragedy, not about politics or political enemies.”
The contrast with the immediate aftermath was stark. Sunday night and early Monday, MAGA figures largely expressed sympathy. “RIP, Rob Reiner,” posted Alex Bruesewitz, a top Trump ally, along with praying hands. Then Trump weighed in, and the moral high ground they’d claimed after Kirk’s death evaporated.
Christ, what an asshole.

I only believe their vows when they are to *hurt* someone.
Otherwise, they see empathy as *weakness*.
MTG seems to have an agenda of some kind.
