Early on during the December 15 episode of The View, Whoopi Goldberg and her fellow co-hosts paid tribute to Rob Reiner. A couple of the women also noted their disgust regarding a social media post that President Donald J. Trump shared regarding Reiner's devastating death.
As CNN reported, Reiner and his wife, Michele Singer Reiner, were found dead at their home on December 14. Their son, Nick Singer, has been arrested on suspicion of murder regarding their deaths.
TV Insider noted that The View co-host Goldberg worked with Reiner on her movie Ghosts of Mississippi, which was released in 1996.
During the initial segment of the December 15 episode of The View, Goldberg said, "There was so much tragedy this weekend, it's hard to process. Tributes are flooding in after news broke last night of the apparent homicide of Rob Reiner and his wife, Michelle Reiner... I was lucky enough to get directed by him in 'Ghosts of Mississippi.'
Goldberg shared, "He was also an outspoken activist and quite a guy, quite an amazing man."
She also referenced the tragedies that occurred over the weekend at Bondi Beach in Australia and at Brown University. Goldberg said, "I mean, each thing in its own body is horrific, and this is... I don't know how to process this...I don't even have words. I don't know what to say."
The View co-host Sunny Hostin asked Goldberg about her favorite Reiner memory. She replied, "He was a friend. I literally saw him the last time I did Kennedy Center, as we were honoring Billy [Crystal]."
"We were together quite a bit, and he was a wonderful director, and a guy who was a stand-up guy, and he fought for the stuff that was right," Goldberg recalled.
At that point, Hostin brought up the Truth Social post made by Trump. Goldberg interjected, "Don't read it, just tell them that it's there."
Fellow co-host Ana Navarro couldn't leave it at that, however. She exclaimed, "At a time when so many in the media industry, so many with a platform are afraid to speak, [Reiner] put his money and his mouth where his heart was."
Navarro continued, "For Trump to have put that out today, I'm gonna say it: You know...there's an American familygrieving. This is a tragedy, not just for the family, but for all who knew and loved him."
She added, "For the President of the United States to make this about him as a way to attack Rob Reiner, because he exercised his American right to speak up with what he disagreed with, is shameful. It is disgraceful. And of all the disgusting things that Donald Trump has done, this is right up there."
While Goldberg didn't want Trump's Truth Social post read on-air, she did add her thoughts regarding what he wrote. In part, Goldberg said, "He talked so much about Charlie Kirk and caring, and suddenly this is what he puts out. Have you no shame? No shame at all? Can you get any lower? I don't think so."
She also insisted, "Our hearts are breaking through all of this, through Rob, through what's happened at Bondi Beach, what happened at Brown, and you don't find the time to say, as Americans, 'We hate what's happening?' You ain't my president, man."
