Rob Reiner denounces Robert De Niro, celebrities for anti-Trump remarks
The Hill ^ | June 16, 2018 | Tess Bonn

This video will resume in 28 seconds Director Rob Reiner denounced Robert De Niro and other celebrities for their remarks against President Trump, saying it only helps the president.

During an exclusive interview with The Hill’s new TV show “Rising,” which aired on Wednesday, Reiner addressed the controversy surrounding actor Robert De Niro’s “F---Trump” speech during the Tony Awards on Sunday.

De Niro called the president a “f---ing idiot” and a “f---ing fool,” which was met with a standing ovation.

“You’re helping Trump by saying ‘F--- Trump,’ because he can say 'look at these people, these elitists,' ” Reiner told “Rising” co-hosts Krystal Ball and Buck Sexton.

Reiner said he thinks celebrities are ultimately hurting Democrats when they go on expletive-ridden rants against Trump.

“There’s a very fine line between energizing the base and energizing the other side,” Reiner said.

He must have been looking at the box office numbers and has a movie coming out.

He’s right, and wiser than I thought.

Or is this satire?

Actually he is not even as good as a broken clock that is right twice a day. Reiner has never been right twice in a day. Matter of fact, I’m not sure he has ever been right twice in 1 year, or even a decade for that matter. 8>)

A bit of accidental wisdom in this one instance notwithstanding, all those maggots and their seditious aims are still the enemy .. literally.

I didn't think the Meathead was this smart.

Not to worry. Most of Hollyweird isn't.

He’s not against the attacks, he (correctly) sees the attacks as counterproductive. It’s not about right or wrong, it’s about effectiveness.

He’s right for the wrong reasons. Every minute of every day Riener thinks exactly what De Niro said. Only Reiner sees that vocalizing the Trump hatred is a tactical mistake.

Too late, Rob. Besides, they won’t listen to your advice, anyway. (Neither will YOU); you’re all way too determined that if you throw a big enough tantrum, Trump will go away. You’ve been watching way too many special effects; it doesn’t work that way.

"I didn't think the Meathead was this smart."

"Meathead - dead from the neck up" has got to be the best "All in the Family" line ever.

Archie: I know.

Polling came back and turns out De Niro has sunk dems midterm hopes.

Rob Reiner, unsure how to react, waited for the numbers to come in.

Now he shouts “Shut up! they’re on to us.”

Where was he when the psycho red head held up the bloody head?

It’s over Rob, you lose.

Somewhat Misleading headline

Why on earth would there ever be a fine line between energizing the base and energizing the other side? That makes no sense at all.

“Meathead - dead from the neck up” has got to be the best “All in the Family” line ever.’

I kind of liked the time Meathead said to Archie ‘beauty is in the eye of the beholder, Arch...’ and Bunker replied ‘and stupid is in the head of the Polack...’
