Actor/director Rob Reiner said Monday there “can be no distinction” between President Donald Trump, who he called “a racist” and those who support the president.
“The President of the United States is a racist,” the 72-year-old tweeted to his hundreds of thousands of followers Monday. (RELATED:Rob Reiner: ‘There’s No Line’ Too Far When It Comes To Attacking Trump)

The President of the United States is a racist. He’s made it abundantly clear his re-election is based on white nationalism. If you support him, there can be no distinction between you being a racist and a racist enabler. They are the same.

On Sunday, Reiner also attacked the president in a similar fashion, tweeting that Trump had a mind that is “infested. With racism, with misogyny, with lies, with bigotry, with hate.”
