I just saw a picture of Reiner and Mel Brooks both wearing BLM tee shirts a couple of days ago. Hard Core Left Liberal to the end.

Liberal? Maybe, but I don’t recall hearing that from him. Dad of meathead? Yes, so obviously he did something wrong. But I’ll always remember him as absolutely brilliant in his roles.

A few weeks ago saw The Russians are Coming, the Russians are Coming. What a great comedy classic. Reiner was superb.

Well only Mel Brooks and Norman Lear left from the old comedy crowd of the 1950’s. Both of them Liberals as well.

After directing blazing saddles, I would think Mel Brooks would keep a low profile around BLMarxists

Brooks and Reiner I can forgive for being liberal. Lear not so much.

In an early 1980s appearance on the Tonight Show Brooks noted he could not make Blazing Saddles.

In less than a decade Brooks, who was a Hollywood superstar director in the 70s, admitted he couldn't make Blazing Saddles.

I think Mel is genuinely concerned they were going to come for Blazing Saddles.

By the way Meathead turned out Liberal because he got it from his Father, so there you go.
