REV. AL SHARPTON CONDEMNS DONALD TRUMP COMMENTS OVER MURDER OF ACCLAIMED DIRECTOR ROB REINER AND WIFE

NEW YORK, NY (December 15, 2025) - Rev. Al Sharpton, Founder and President of the National Action Network (NAN), today slammed President Trump's comments over the murder of acclaimed director Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele, who were found dead in their California home Sunday. Trump has been widely condemned over a social media post over the couple's murder, with many in his own party shaming his highly politicized remarks over past disagreements he had with Reiner.
"President Trump continues to find a new low, with his remarks today effectively endorsing violence against those who disagree with him. What happened to Rob and Michele Reiner was a true tragedy, one that is still unfolding, and should be a moment in which we respect and share our condolences with his family. It is not a time for the President of the United States or anyone else to make gross, disgusting comments alleging their tragic death by any means had to do with political feelings. Even his staunchest backers are condemning these terrible remarks, which Trump should pull down and apologize for immediately. This was a man who we prayed for last summer after he was nearly assassinated in Pennsylvania - condemning all forms of political violence. He should find it within himself to find an ounce of the same dignity."
