Liberal activist and Hollywood director Rob Reiner slammed President Donald Trump on Monday and suggested that Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election was the "greatest attack" on American democracy since Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941.
"We've had the greatest attack of this democracy since 1941, and we have to understand that," Reiner said on MSNBC.
Reiner also suggested that American society might collapse given the pressure Russia placed on democratic institutions in the country.
Japan drew the United States into World War II after attacking its naval base in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii on December 7, 1941, killing more than 2,000 Americans soldiers. Reiner did not mention the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks that killed more than 3,000 Americans.
"Great societies last 250, maybe 300 years. Well, we're at that cusp right now. The question is, will our institutions withstand this attack that we've had from a hostile, foreign power?" Reiner asked in an apparent reference to Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election.
He added that Trump wrongly attacked the press by using the term "fake news."
The media, Reiner argued, should not "normalize" Trump's presidency through its reporting. He appeared to warn MSNBC host Chris Jansing that although her job entailed reporting on Trump's presidency, she and others in the media shouldn't treat recent events as "normal."
Reiner criticized elected politicians for not decrying the attacks on American democracy, asking why Republican leaders, in particular, did not take a stand.
"Where are our Republican leaders, elected leaders, standing up and saying ‘we've been attacked here, our democracy is being compromised?'" Reiner asked.
Reiner has spoken out strongly against Trump since the president's emergence on the political stage. Last year, he said Trump's candidacy for president had "unearthed" racists in America.

Meathead is also the person that controls the cigarette taxes in CA. An audit is overdue and a prison stay if he took money for himself.
Who knew that the Meathead was also a neocon.
Barack HUSSEIN Obama was the most devastating, well planned terrorist attack to ever strike American soil. The attack continues to this day.
Rob Reiner's "North" is more than enough evidence that we're way past our prime and in a deep decline.
Has anyone ever detailed just exactly what the meddling consisted of? I heard the Russian interference concept alluded to on Fox today as if it were a proven fact. The interference is mentioned daily; just what it consisted of is still a mystery. You would think that the Democrats would quickly hire Putin and the Russians to manage their next campaign. They make winning so easy; it is truly wondrous.
Reiner, please STFU. We don’t need leftist morons from Hollyweird to tell us how to think. We decided to fight you Globalist POS.
Have you ever seen them together, I haven’t and don’t wish to?
Oh but I bet he would have been fine with the fact Soviet loyalists were within the FDR and Truman Administration.
And you probably think the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor right Meat Head?
It would create a vortex from which no cogent thought could escape.
He’s still the Meathead.
Another Hollyweird left-wing nutjob opens his piehole and spouts crap.
The whole purpose of that show (All in the Family) was to smear conservatives and make uber-libs like Meathead look like all-knowing, all-seeing saints.
Gee Meathead,
Where are your complaints about all the leftists who are refusing to accept the results of the election, an election where there has been NO EVIDENCE of Russian meddling in the vote, and nobody has been able to point to a single voter who changed their vote because of this so-called “meddling.”
The fact is that it’s the LEFTISTS like yourself who are the real threat to democracy, but more to the point, the the Constitutional Republic that the US government is supposed to be.

I think it is time for Corey Feldman to name the names of all the Hollywood producers at the homosexual orgies, raping all the little boys. Maybe Meathead was one of them???? Just asking. Why is NO ONE in prison for raping all the children over the decades?
Interesting how even Milo claims they have these drug and sex orgies in Hollywood (he was at one at least) where they had little boys-—and “crickets”-—WHERE ARE THE NAMES OF THE RAPERS??? Why didn’t Milo “save” the boys??? Oh, yes, he thinks it is fine for “mature” 13 year olds to be “loved” by older homosexual males. After all, old males sodomizing the pretty little boys like Milo (just like in the boy harems in Afghanistan) they actually “love” those whom they lust after: It is “love” to desire to sodomize others, esp. boys and goats.
Oh—yes. The producers like Meathead are making all the movies to normalize and glorify sodomy, lesbianism, homosexuality, fornication, adultery, orgies, baby-killing, etc., (so that the Natural family concept is destroyed, along with the Christian Ethic) in all our children ,since destroying innocence and virtue formation creates slaves (victims) for life.
Normalizing Vice in children creates slaves forever, and muslim, tribal, irrational worldview.
They have jars of Trumps urine stolen by Russian prostitutes, just waiting to show them on the Rachel Maddow show.
He just played himself in “All In The Family”. He really is a meathead.
Obamadict Arnold gave Iran and NK nukes?!!!
