- He compared the reaction to online gloating after Charlie Kirk was shot, urging a consistent standard for responses to violence.
- Rogan's remarks carry added weight because he endorsed and hosted Trump during the 2024 campaign.
- Trump posted a mocking note about Reiner on Truth Social less than a day after news of the killings and ignored calls to delete it from Marjorie Taylor Greene, Piers Morgan, and Ana Navarro.
- Rob Reiner, 78, and Michele Singer Reiner, 68, were found stabbed to death on December 14 in Los Angeles, and their son Nick Reiner, 32, was arrested and charged with two counts of first-degree murder.
