Filmmaker Rob Reiner made headlines today by arguing that the rise of Donald Trump stems from racism in America and that the media has given him a pass.
Reiner accused the media of going easy on Trump, saying that the billionaire businessman is only taken seriously as a political candidate because he is a celebrity.
"The words that have been flung out from his mouth are insane!" Reiner said on MSNBC. "If he was not a celebrity - if Donald Trump was not a celebrity … you'd see a guy in a park, a lunatic in a park on a soapbox, and you’d walk right by him."
The former "All in the Family" star said Trump needs to be pinned down and asked to answer specifics on his policies, such as the deportation of millions of illegal immigrants, which would all but ensure he loses the 2016 election.
Reiner was asked how he explains the incredible success of the Trump campaign and the millions of people who support him.
"There are a lot of people who are racist," Reiner said. "There's racism in this country that has been submerged for a long, long time ... He's unearthed a lot of it."
He said that not all Trump supporters are racist, but some are, and the presumptive Republican nominee refuses to disavow them.

Who is Rob Reiner?
I’m not ancient.
What’s a robreiner? Some kind of polish sausage?
I hope that eventually the much overused charge of “racism”will be met with a yawn and a ‘so what.’
Once a meathead, always a meathead.
Says the guy who likely lives behind a fence surrounded by white neighbors and illegal alien house staff.
IronJack on Hillary’s appeal: “There are a lot of people who only PRETEND to care about corruption and incompetence in government.”
LOL. Everybody’s racist except people who agree with me.
Me on anyone’s interest in what Rob Reiner thinks: There are a lot of people who are idiots.
Shut-up MEAT HEAD !

Hey, stop insulting polish sausages!!!
:-)
So overused that it is now rendered completely meaningless. This is especially true for Hollywood crowd who makes movie after movie with real racial slurs and never gets called out on it.
Reiner may be the BIGGEST racist of all!!
No, he is an actor who played a meathead. In reality, he is truly very stupid. And displays an extreme liberal bias....and little intelligence.
Best response to being called a racist:
“So?”
How many Mexicans live in your neighborhood Meathead!
i had Kielbasi not 10 hours ago!!! was hungry during the night.
I buy these packages that have about four feet of it wrapped around lol
As a young man Rob Reiner learned a lot about racism as he bravely faced down the KKK at Beverly Hills High School. Reiner was arrested by the Beverly Hills Police Department during a civil rights demonstration. He spent the night in bungalow #5 in the Beverly Hills Jail.
