Crazy, far left filmmaker Rob Reiner came out of hiding this week appearing on Bill Maher’s podcast, where he suggested Democrats should put preconditions on speaking to Republicans, and now appearing on CNN.
In this case, he was asked about a watch party he attended last spring for Biden’s disastrous debate performance. According to Kamala’s new book, Reiner exploded at Doug Emhoff when he saw Biden’s performance.
Reiner disputes this, saying that he was basically screaming at everyone and that he would not have singled out Emhoff for blame.

KASIE HUNT, CNN: Before we do that, I do want to ask you about some brass tacks politics because you, of course, have been a donor to the Democratic Party. I’ve, you know, interviewed you before talking about politics. And Kamala Harris, actually, in her new book, which has been quite candid, relayed a moment where she says that you were talking with her husband, Doug Emhoff, at a watch party.
It’s described as with Hollywood donors. There you go. And this is, of course, watching Joe Biden’s debate stage performance. And she writes this. Rob Reiner had screamed at him, at Doug Emhoff, quote, “we are going to lose our effing democracy and it’s your fault.”
So, sir, I’m just wondering, did this happen as it’s described here? And what was going through your mind at the time?
ROB REINER, ACTOR, DIRECTOR: No, it didn’t happen that way. I was upset, along with everybody in that room, including J.B. Pritzker and Andy Beshear and Gretchen Whitmer. They were all at this gathering. It wasn’t just Hollywood people. It was a political gathering. And we were all appalled by the debate performance by Joe Biden.
And I screamed out those words, the F word. I threw it out there. And I said, we’re effing dead. You know, to me, it was like, put a nail in the coffin. We were dead. I was screaming at everybody. And yes, I used the F word many times in that rant.
Here’s the video:
