Democratic strategist James Carville said Thursday that murdered activist Charlie Kirk is unworthy of being compared to the recently slain filmmaker Rob Reiner in terms of his influence.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m sorry. I don\u2019t want anybody to get shot\u2026 young kids, I hate that, but Charlie Kirk<\/a> was not a pimple on Rob Reiner\u2019s a– when it comes to influence, when it comes to impact, when it comes to anything else. I don\u2019t want to say anything bad, but for God\u2019s sake, don\u2019t dare compare Charlie Kirk to Rob Reiner. That\u2019s not fair,” Carville said.<\/p>\n

While Reiner does not appear like Kirk to have been murdered for political reasons \u2014 Reiner’s long-troubled son has been charged with killing him and his wife \u2014 many commentators are comparing the reaction from public and private figures<\/a> to the men and the backlash they received in turn. Both Kirk and Reiner were outspoken activists for the right and left, respectively.<\/p>\n

JAMES WOODS PAYS HEARTFELT TRIBUTE TO ROB REINER AS FRIEND WHO ‘SAVED MY CAREER’<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Carville’s co-host Al Hunt, in a clip flagged by Mediaite<\/a>, recalled that Reiner himself responded with compassion to Kirk\u2019s death.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“That should never happen to anybody,” Reiner said<\/a>\u00a0at the time. “I don\u2019t care what your political beliefs are, that\u2019s not acceptable. That\u2019s not a solution to solving problems. And I felt like what his wife said at the service, at the memorial they had, was exactly right.”<\/p>\n

“Rob was a friend of mine,” Carville said on his Thursday episode of “Politics War Room<\/a>.” “It is hard. And I don’t say this because I like Rob’s politics or I like him as a person, or anything like that. It’s hard to come up with somebody who’s had more cultural impact on my life than Rob did. I mean, if you think of \u2018All in the Family\u2019 and [how] groundbreaking that was. You think of \u2018A Few Good Men.\u2019 You think of \u2018The Princess Bride.\u2019 My daughters have seen \u2018The Princess Bride\u2019 500 times. Ted Cruz, I think, can recite the whole script.”<\/p>\n

FAR-LEFT PODCAST HOST JENNIFER WELCH CLAIMS CHARLIE KIRK ‘JUSTIFIED’ HIS OWN DEATH<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

On Thursday\u2019s podcast, Carville cited an incident where he said a teacher had reportedly been fired for sharing a video of some of Kirk\u2019s controversial statements after his death.<\/p>\n

President Donald Trump has been sharply criticized for his Truth Social post<\/a> about Reiner’s death, where he said the liberal Hollywood figure had Trump Derangement Syndrome.<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital<\/a> reached out to Turning Point USA and did not receive an immediate response.<\/p>\n
