Nick Reiner, a son of Rob Reiner and his wife Michele, was arrested Sunday and is being held on $4 million bail, according to jail records from the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department.
Rob Reiner and his wife were found dead in their Los Angeles home. CBS News’ Anna Schecter has the latest. Rob Reiner directed classics like This is Spinal Tap, The Princess Bride and A Few Good Men. He gained fame playing Archie Bunker’s son-in-law on All in the Family. Reiner was a vocal Trump critic who warned about the state of democracy in America.
The president couldn’t even wait 24 hours before attacking the dead filmmaker. Trump posted a sick message blaming Reiner’s own death on “Trump Derangement Syndrome.” The twisted statement came after Reiner and his wife, Michele, were found brutally killed in their Los Angeles home Sunday night. Their son, Nick Reiner, sits in jail on $4 million bond. This isn’t Trump’s first time making tasteless comments after someone’s death. When former Vice President Dick Cheney died in November, Trump stayed silent publicly but made private comments to staff, calling Cheney’s death “karma” for opposing him.
