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.

A has-been television actor from the 70s who played a character on the series, 'All In The Family'.
He's a rich uber lib who's now mostly known for shooting his mouth off about every stupid liberal cause.
How can people like him be so utterly detached from objective reality.
What a total knee-jerk scumbag Hollywood Leftist!
Reiner bases his slander on what? The fact that Trump thinks we should do something about illegal immigration? That we should be careful about allowing Mulsims into our country without proper vetting?
The good thing is that when People see such obvious ignorance on display from Rob Reiner and his ilk, Trump just gains more supporters, because people see right through such shallow and transparent Hollywood liars.
Vote Trump
Stupid Meathead..I have been hearing the same nonsense for 30+ years now, if you are not a Commie Socialist Liberal Loon you are a racist, waaa waaa waaa..who cares what this failed actor scum bag has to say..Archie was right about him..stupid MEATHEAD
Hey since Meathead is super rich I will be demanding 90 percent of his bank account..come on Robby, SPREAD THAT WEALTH
I never heard about that. For that he deserves respect. For his politics, not so much.
who is Rob Reiner?
Is he a televangelist ?
Fortunately, Hollywood is blind to what is really going on. Let’s hope they keep on staying blind.
I believe Reiner has been throwing race bombs for years....he also sees nothing wrong with Socialism in in America...bet he puts money off-shore.......
Especially to those of us that aren't white. I'd be more than happy to debate Reiner on racial issues.
lol in a way. For the left.
“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.”
another Hollywood liberal absolutely dead to irony...
I gotta admit, I loved his film, A Christmas Story. One of the funniest Christmas films ever.
That is true!
Many of them are even White!
Regards,
The biggest racist is in our government and his name is Obama.
A person is really exhibiting the fact that they have a very low IQ if they say that Trump is racist because he agrees with most Americans that WE DON'T WANT ILLEGAL INVADERS STEALING OUR JOBS AND TAX MONEY!
Wot a moron the Meathead is.
You really have to be astronomically stupid to believe obeying our immigration laws are racist.
We let HUGE numbers of Hispanic people in legally.
I can barely understand the depth of such ignorance.
“The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.” - Albert
Einstein
Four decades on, and he still can’t get over the fact that America was laughing WITH Archie, not AT him.
* I hope that eventually the much overused charge of “racism”will be met with a yawn and a ‘so what.’*
I think the Lefties use the word racism in the same way they think about global warming.
Anything they don’t like is either racist, or it causes global warming.
It’s like when a four year old kid makes up a lie for their parents.
They don’t realize that we are much smarter than they are and we know an obvious lie when we hear it.
“lot of people are racist”
Yes they are, especially when the definition of words get changed every day.
It is to the point today we are all racist, even you Rob.
