Hollywood leftist director Rob Reiner is getting some flak for making a tone-deaf comparison between former President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden; he says Biden is a “decent, law-abiding person.”
“The difference between Joe Biden and Donald Trump is: Joe Biden is a decent law abiding person, and Donald Trump is a pathologically lying criminal,” Reiner tweeted Sunday.

“There is no amount of propaganda you can spew on Twitter that convinces Americans that Joe Biden is an honest person,” former Illinois congressional candidate Jack Lombardi II commented.
“As of now, you’re quite literally the poster boy for cognitive dissonance…” he added.

“Yea? That’s why the FBI tried to keep Hunter’s laptop covered up for years until a concerned citizen exposed it? Because of all of Trump’s crimes selling political favors to foreign countries to the detriment of ours that was on it?” TV personality Mindy Robinson added.
Journalist and radio host Carmine Sabia accused Reiner of “only want[ing] the law applied to people he dislikes,” and Washington Examiner commentator Christopher Tremoglie chimed in with, “Imagine being so brainwashed that you don’t think Biden is a pathological liar….”
