David Urban, who previously worked as Donald Trump’s senior campaign adviser, has branded the president ‘indefensible’ following his comments about Rob Reiner’s death
President Donald Trump
Donald Trump has been criticized by his former senior campaign adviser following his unhinged rant about the late Rob Reiner.
The filmmaker, 78, and his wife, Michele Singer Reiner, 68, were found with their throats slit at their Los Angeles home on Sunday, December 14. Their son Nick has since been arrested and booked for murder after police confirmed they believe he is “responsible” for their deaths.
After news of Rob and Michele’s deaths was made public, the president took to Truth Social to suggest the pair died from a “crippling disease known as TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME.” The 79-year-old has been widely condemned for his comments.
“First of all, my condolences go out to the Reiner family. Itβs a terrible tragedy that theyβve suffered here and the presidentβs tweetsβ his Truth Social post is indefensible by anybody,” Urban said.
Rob Reiner’s death was discussed on CNN
The political commentator added, “I donβt know how anyone can defend it. I think the president had the opportunity, was given the opportunity this afternoon to clean it up and say something to the effect that, you know, ‘All those things I disagreed with him, we were political enemies, but you know what happened to him was a tragedy and my sympathy is with his family.’ And it just rings so badly, especially in light of what just happened with Charlie Kirk.”
Urban said that after Kirk’s murder, he thought “we, as a country, reached a consensus on how we respond to these things.” He continued, “I thought that one of the few good things that came out of Charlie Kirkβs death was that people came together and recognized that the people who were celebrating Charlie Kirkβs death should be condemned.
“Rob Reiner, in fact, actually praised Erika Kirkβs statement and condemned the shooter there and said, you know, ‘What happened to Charlie Kirk was horrific.'”
Urban concluded, “And so Iβve just been thinking about that and, you know, itβs just saddening because the president does a lot of good things, this administration does lots of good things, but yet these kinds of posts, these kinds of actions by the president detract from all of that.
“I think the president forgot elections are about addition, one plus one plus one, and as we head into the midterms Iβm wondering how many Republicans were added to the voter rolls today. I think none.”
Urban’s comments come after Trump’s bizarre Truth Social post. In it, the president said, “A very sad thing happened last night in Hollywood. Rob Reiner, a tortured and struggling, but once very talented movie director and comedy star, has passed away, together with his wife, Michele, reportedly due to the anger he caused others through his massive, unyielding, and incurable affliction with a mind crippling disease known as TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME, sometimes referred to as TDS.
“He was known to have driven people CRAZY by his raging obsession of President Donald J. Trump, with his obvious paranoia reaching new heights as the Trump Administration surpassed all goals and expectations of greatness, and with the Golden Age of America upon us, perhaps like never before. May Rob and Michele rest in peace!”
