People Are Sharing Their Appreciation For Rob Reiner After This Resurfaced Clip Of Him Discussing Charlie Kirk's Death

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’s 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 controversial 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 to 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.”

Reiner’s words hit viewers hard in the wake of his death.

“Rob Reiner and his wife deserve the respect as he has shown toward Charlie Kirk,” one wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
