Reiner Runs With MSNBC Fake News to Condemn Trump

Reiner Runs With MSNBC Fake News to Condemn Trump

August 29, 2019

After an MSNBC report Tuesday by Lawrence O’Donnell that Russian billionaires with ties to Putin co-signed bank loans for President Trump, filmmaker and anti-Trump activist Rob Reiner leaped at the opportunity to decry a “mountain of criminality” in the White House.

On Wednesday morning Reiner tweeted, “So now we have Russians co-signing Trump’s loans. The mountain of Criminality is overwhelming. Impeachment is just the start. Vote him out. Then indict him. America deserves a President who isn’t a Liar, a Racist, and a Traitor.”

Predictably — at least for anyone not afflicted with Trump Derangement Syndrome — the claim turned out to be fake news which the humiliated O’Donnell was forced to apologize for and retract.

“Last night I made an error in judgment by reporting an item about the president’s finances that didn’t go through our rigorous verification and standards process. I shouldn’t have reported it and I was wrong to discuss it on the air,” said O’Donnell.
