Rob Reiner grilled for praising Biden as a 'decent law abiding person': 'Poster boy for cognitive dissonance'
Critics lambasted Reiner as 'brainwashed' and 'irrelevant'
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Conservatives on Twitter are up in arms after actor Rob Reiner praised President Biden as a "decent law abiding person" while slamming former President Donald Trump as a "pathologically lying criminal."
"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.
The star, best recognized for his role as Michael "Meathead" Stivic on the popular 1970s sitcom "All in the Family," has a history of criticizing the former president, labeling him as "mentally unstable" and accusing him of "aiding and abetting the enemy" in a December 2018 tweet.

His latest criticism, while mystery swirls around Biden's mishandling of classified documents at the Penn Biden Center as well as his Delaware home, caught flak for an alleged double standard.

"As of now, you're quite literally the poster boy for cognitive dissonance…" he added.

In a separate tweet, Lombardi slammed Reiner's post as a "propaganda tweet."
"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…."
