Actor and director Rob Reiner told CNN, “This may be the last time you ever see me,” after speaking out against President Trump and FCC Chairman Brendan Carr. Reiner, star and director of This Is Spinal Tap, remarked to anchor Brianna Keilar after launching criticisms over Jimmy Kimmel Live! being pulled off the air. Kimmel’s show was pulled by ABC’s parent company after FCC Chair Brendan Carr expressed disapproval of the show host’s comments regarding the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. Reiner followed up his comment by saying that “there’s only a couple of us that are speaking out in this hard way.” Reiner, who was recently on Kimmel’s show to promote Spinal Tap 2: The End Continues, called himself a “friend of Jimmy’s.” He added, “And what happened to him is unconscionable. It just can’t happen.” Reiner said Trump’s move “has declared war on this democracy.” Reiner suggested that Kimmel could potentially launch a lawsuit against the Trump administration for forcing his show’s suspension. “If I’m Jimmy Kimmel, I’m suing the Trump administration,” Reiner said. “I’m suing them for abandoning my First Amendment rights.”
