People are reacting to President Donald Trump’s “disgusting” post following the death of Rob and Michele Reiner.
The actor-director was an outspoken political activist throughout his career, championing causes like same-sex marriage.

His death has been mourned by liberal leaders, such as Barack Obama, who wrote, “Beneath all of the stories he produced was a deep belief in the goodness of people—and a lifelong commitment to putting that belief into action. Together, he and his wife lived lives defined by purpose. They will be remembered for the values they championed and the countless people they inspired. We send our deepest condolences to all who loved them.”

People were quick to criticize the president’s response:
People further contrasted the response to that of Charlie Kirk’s murder, especially given that Rob himself condemned the “horrific” assassination:
