Did Rob Reiner said Trump deserved to be shot?
VERDICT
CONFIDENCE
92%
Analysis Reasoning
A detailed fact check found no statement from Reiner wishing a would‑be Trump assassin had succeeded; a source close to his family called the allegation “nonsense.” Searches of news archives and social media turned up no verified quote of Reiner endorsing violence against Trump; if he had, it likely would have been widely covered given his prominence. Another fact‑check summary likewise stated there was no evidence that Reiner ever said things like “too bad he turned his head, maybe next time they won’t miss” about the Trump assassination attempt, despite viral posts claiming he did. Rob Reiner did strongly condemn political violence in 2025 after the killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, saying such attacks “should never happen to anybody” regardless of politics
