Rob Reiner publicly refused to express sympathy after Rush Limbaugh announced his cancer diagnosis, arguing that Limbaugh had caused lasting harm to the country through his rhetoric.
Reiner said Limbaugh bore moral responsibility for deep political and social division and that his illness did not warrant compassion given his past influence.
After Limbaugh’s death, Reiner again declined to offer condolences, insisting that death did not erase what he viewed as decades of damaging commentary.
His remarks sparked backlash from critics who called them cruel and vindictive in light of Limbaugh’s terminal illness, while supporters said he was being blunt about Limbaugh’s legacy.
