“Is it okay to have a conspiracy to get rid of Trump?” host Bill Maker asked guests Rob Reiner and Sen. Amy Klobuchar on his HBO show on Friday. This exchange got considerable online attention. Most of that attention focused on Reiner’s shockingly ignorant disavowal of the Hunter Biden laptop story.
Overlooked were the knee-jerk comments by both Reiner and Klobuchar on the subject of January 6. Rather than answer Maher’s question about the suppression of the laptop story, Reiner reflexively retreated to the safe space of January 6. “You know what is not justified,” said Reiner. “Using armed violence to try to kill people in the Capitol.”
A privileged child of Hollywood, Reiner broke through as Archie Bunker’s son-in-law, the aptly named “Meathead,” on the 1970’s TV comedy “All in the Family.” He has since gone on to a successful career as a director. His ignorance—and latent fascism—surprised no one who has been exposed to the proud inanity of Tinsel Town over the years.
Klobuchar has no such excuse. Although more politic than Reiner on the subject of free speech, Klobuchar seemed even more dangerously misinformed than Reiner on January 6. “We are dealing with a man who used to be the president right now who literally tried to lead an armed insurrection,” said Klobuchar, employing four distinct falsehoods to make her off-topic point.
There was no insurrection. Those who entered the Capitol did not have guns. Yes, Trump could be accused of leading a protest, but not a riot, let alone an insurrection. And were Trump to have led this insurrection “literally,” he would have been waving a flag in the front lines and encouraging the armed patriots behind him to storm the Capitol.

The lie with impunity.
Rob Reiner has all the intellectual capacity of a slightly retarded Sea Cucumber,
Had there been an insurrection you’d be dead.
“You know what is not justified,” said Reiner. “Using armed violence to try to kill people in the Capitol.” What do you mean. He is correct that officer should not have killed Ashli. Wait you mean that is not what he was trying to say?

Amazing that Reiner was nailed as a meathead all the way back in 1971.
Because that was before "1984" when you could accurately describe something without PC backlash.
Easier to use the synonym: Biden, or FJB to be even more precise.
Archie was right, “meathead”.
And, no copper was killed, either. The commie trash in power continue to lie about 3 coppers being killed. BS!
And Klobuchar has even less!
“You are a Meathead. Dead from the neck up.”
“Using armed violence to try to kill people in the Capitol.” He meant using armed violence to actually kill people in the Capitol. But Lt Byrd won’t be happy to see Carl Reiner’s dim bulb spawn to characterize him that way.
