Jimmy Kimmel on Monday paid tribute to one of America’s “greatest directors and patriots” Rob Reiner following the deaths of the Hollywood icon and his wife Michele.
Following a weekend of tragedies that included the deadly mass shootings at Bondi Beach and Brown University, the late night host emphasized that the country needed “compassion and leadership.”
He declared that President Donald Trump provided “none of it.”
Instead, Kimmel added, the president offered a brief moment of respect for Australians and shared his condolences (followed by a “things can happen”) for students at the Ivy League institution.
The comedian then read the entirety of Trump’s heavily criticized post that blamed Reiner — a staunch liberal and political activist — for his own death.
