Marjorie Taylor Greene has strongly criticized Donald Trump for his ‘tasteless’ remarks concerning the tragic murders of Rob Reiner and his wife Michele. The outspoken Georgia representative, who has had a series of confrontations with Trump recently, expressed to CNN that the former president’s comments about the deceased Hollywood icon were “utterly unbefitting of a U.S. president.” Reiner and his wife were found dead in their Los Angeles home, discovered by their daughter on Sunday. Their son, Nick Reiner, faces charges in connection with their deaths.
Truth Social Post Draws Widespread Condemnation
Following the shocking incident, Trump controversially suggested in a Truth Social post that Reiner’s and his wife’s deaths were linked to the director’s so-called “Trump Derangement Syndrome.” He described Reiner as a “once very talented movie director and comedy star,” insinuating that Reiner’s demise was “reportedly due to the anger he stirred in others through his intense, persistent, and incurable obsession” with TDS—a term coined by conservatives to mock those critical of Trump.
Trump’s commentary continued by asserting that Reiner “drove people CRAZY with his relentless fixation on President Donald J. Trump, reaching new levels of paranoia as the Trump Administration exceeded all expectations of greatness.” After Trump reiterated his stance from the White House, claiming the late director was “detrimental to our country,” Greene condemned the former president during an interview with CNN’s Kaitlan Collins. “I found the statement to be utterly beneath the dignity of the presidential office,” Greene remarked.
‘Classless. And it was just wrong. That it’s a tragic murder. It’s a family ripped apart. And from my understanding, what I’ve seen on the news, it was drug abuse and mental illness. ‘And many families across America deal with family members that are drug addicts or have mental health issues. And I think the president should’ve responded with compassion and talked about those issues. ‘He didn’t have to make it about politics. And I think that was– it was really below what we expect our president to talk like.’
The remarks from Greene are the latest attack launched by the former Trump ally at the President, following their public split over the White House’s handling of the EpsteinFiles. The Georgia congresswoman, who is resigning in January, announced her engagement to White House reporter Brian Glenn onMonday evening. The 51-year-old was shown sporting a large engagement ring that she helped design, as Glenn posted a picture of the couple at a restaurant Monday evening, with the caption: ‘She said “yes.”‘
Engagement Took Place at Trump-Favored Eatery
Glenn told the Daily Mail that the proposal happened at Joe’s Seafood, Prime Steak and Stone Crab – where Trump made his one and only outing to a DC restaurant earlier this year. The eatery has South Florida roots. ‘I called ahead to make sure I had our usual table in the back that has a curtain,’ he revealed via text message. ‘After the waiter delivered the drinks to our table, I proposed to her via a surprise. And she said yes. We are both overjoyed and have shared the news with our families.’
The waiter, it just so happened, was the same person who served the President during his visit to the seafood restaurant, located two blocks from the White House. Glenn referenced Greene’s upcoming resignation as he added: ”I’m sweeping her off her feet, getting her out of Washington.’
