Actors and filmmakers Morgan Freeman and Rob Reiner were included on a list of 963 Americans banned from entering Russia released by the country’s foreign ministry on Saturday.

The list also includes President Biden, Vice President Harris and other members of the Biden administration, as well as all the members of the House and an assortment of business executives, think tank leaders, former lawmakers and officials and others.

Reiner’s and Freeman’s entries on the list appear to make reference to their work together in support of The Committee to Investigate Russia, a nonprofit focused on fighting Russian interference in U.S. elections.

Reiner is on the advisory board of the group, which launched in 2017, while Freeman voiced over a video it released.

“We have been attacked,” Freeman said in the video, referring to Russia’s interference in the 2016 presidential election. “We are at war.”

Freeman called on then-President Trump to “use every resource available to conduct a thorough investigation to determine exactly how this happened.”

Rob Reiner, lunatic.

The midterms won’t be fought over accomplishments or policies. Autocracy has gotten its hooks into our Democracy. Unless we fight that with a massive turnout, we won’t survive. And despite Trump’s threat of a Civil War, the first step for survival is his Indictment.— Rob Reiner (@robreiner) May 23, 2022

Well, it looks like I’ve been banned from Russia. Of course I’m heartbroken. Often in life you have to live with disappointment. But if we can ban Donald Trump from ever setting foot in the White House, it will have been worth it.— Rob Reiner (@robreiner) May 22, 2022

I’ve been out of the country for the past three weeks. Has Donald Trump been indicted yet?— Rob Reiner (@robreiner) May 21, 2022

“ The Committee to Investigate Russia, a nonprofit focused on fighting Russian interference in U.S. elections.”

A Meathead Freeman Production 🤪

[escapefromboston]

Can’t we ban them from America too?

[dsrtsage]

Meathead should be banned from America

“ Freeman called on then-President Trump to “use every resource available to conduct a thorough investigation to determine exactly how this happened.””

I think after Mook’s testimony the other day, I would say we know how this happened.

[MGunny]

Even the Commies don’t those brand of US Commies!!!!

[Hot Tabasco]

What makes them so special? Why aren’t I on that banned list?

[Leaning Right]

Don’t take this lying down, Rob Reiner! Charter a plane and fly directly to Moscow. Demand to know why they don’t love you there like we do here.

[nomorelurker]

Saw some of the names on an earlier post. They can stay in Russia or wherever they want.

[Rurudyne]

Of course it turns out tha it was Hillary behind Russia collusion all along....

[griswold3]

John McCain and Herry Reed are on the list. Russia probably ripped off the current voter rolls for 2022.

[TigersEye]

When you wonder who would actually vote for Veggie Brain Biden think Meathead.

One reflects the other perfectly!

[No name given]

And it should be Hillary getting indicted. It’s over, meathead. I see through the lies of the demokkkrats.

The Hill has recently removed its’ Comments Section.
I guess somebody somewhere decided somehow they felt insulted.

I’ve given up waiting for another media site
TMZ to restart their Comments Section. That was the main fun of going to that site, reading all the remarks. I didn’t care about Rappers or folks who bounce balls for a living.

Like to see the Putin-is-the-Devil crowd address this.

[MCSETots]

Reiner isn’t allowed to go home? ? ?

[Secret Agent Man]

I think we should also ban them

[DIRTYSECRET]

Morgan Freeman’s ok isn’t he? Heard him once say ‘stop talking bout it’ regarding race. At least he didn’t’t pull a Bill Cosby.
