Filmmaker and anti-Trump demagogue Rob Reiner tweeted on Wednesday that Trump’s comment about “rounding a corner” on coronavirus was an “unmitigated evil” amounting to “premeditated murder.”
“Tremendous progress is being made,” Trump had said at a press conference last month. “And I say, and I’ll say it all the time: We’re rounding the corner. And, very importantly, vaccines are coming, but we’re rounding the corner regardless. But vaccines are coming, and they’re coming fast. We have four great companies already, and it’s going to be added very rapidly. They’re in the final stages of testing. And from what we’re hearing, the results are going to be very extraordinary.”
“Of the 10s of thousands of lies this Sociopath has told, saying the Coronavirus has turned a corner is unmitigated evil,” Reiner wrote on Twitter. “It is premeditated murder.”
This is typical of Reiner’s unhinged accusations on social media. In March he claimed that the GOP election platform is to “kill as many Americans as possible,” and calling a vote for Trump a “vote for death” and accusing him of being an accessory to murder: “I’m not a lawyer, but it seems to me if you’re the most influential person in America and you tell the public that a deadly viral pandemic is a hoax & countless citizens accept that as reality, do nothing to protect themselves then end up dead, you might be an accessory.”
