SAT . BREAKING: Steve Bannon Sparks Outrage After Telling MAGA Crowd to Boo Rob Reiner With Shocking “Slit Your Throat” Remark

If you ever wondered how far the MAGA movement would sink, Friday night at Turning Point USA’s AmFest gave a chilling answer.
As news of the killing of legendary filmmaker Rob Reiner hung heavy in the air, a packed crowd didn’t respond with sympathy, reflection, or even silence. Instead, they jeered and booed.
Yes, booed.
Onstage, MAGA firebrand Steve Bannon acknowledged that Reiner’s death was “obviously a tragedy,” but that moment of decency lasted about half a breath. When Bannon referenced Democratic strategist James Carville praising Reiner’s cultural impact, the crowd erupted in jeers.
But it gets even worse. What followed was uglier still.
Bannon sneered that Reiner made “a handful of crappy movies,” then absurdly elevated conservative activist Charlie Kirk as the true cultural savior of America. From there, the rhetoric spiraled into something far darker — invoking assassination, betrayal, and violent imagery aimed at a man who had just been killed.
“Dude, you raised a kid that slit your throat,” Bannon told the cheering crowd.
This wasn’t political disagreement. It wasn’t satire. It wasn’t commentary.
It was public cruelty, aimed at a dead man, delivered to applause.
Even Bannon seemed to sense the indecency, repeatedly insisting he was being “brutally frank,” as if naming his own callousness somehow excused it. He capped the tirade by declaring that Democrats who honored Reiner were “demonic.”
Let’s be clear: Rob Reiner was a towering figure in American culture, responsible for films and shows that shaped generations. You don’t have to agree with his politics to recognize his humanity — or to understand that mocking someone after their death is a moral line most people don’t cross.
But MAGA crossed it — gleefully.
This moment wasn’t about Reiner. It was about power, resentment, and a movement so consumed by grievance that even death isn’t sacred anymore. Where empathy once lived, there is now applause for degradation. Where decency should exist, there is only rage.
Booing the dead doesn’t make you strong. It doesn’t make you brave. It just tells the rest of us exactly who you’ve become.
And now, MAGA has shown America something truly ugly: the darkest, most despicable reaches of their psyches — without shame, and without apology.
Please like and share to spread their shame!
