Rob Reiner, a sufferer of Trump Derangement Syndrome, appeared on MSNBC this week to promote his new film about “Christian nationalism” and used the clip to make the case that he understands true Christianity better than Christians do.
It's clear that his documentary is just his latest attempt to demonize conservatives and Trump supporters, but he tries to point out that the project isn't attacking Christians one way or another.
Isn't it funny when people on the far left claim to speak for conservatives and Christians?

Stephanie Ruhl: What made you decide to participate in a project focused on Christian nationalism?
Rob Reiner: Because it doesn't really reflect Christianity from what I understand. I mean, I went through a very difficult period in my life, many years ago, and I read about Christianity. You know, I was raised as a secular Jew. There was no religion in my house. But I started reading about Christianity, and about Buddhism, and about the Islamic religion, and I came to understand that the true teachings of Jesus were about loving your neighbor, doing unto others as you would have them do unto you, and those are the things that I stuck with. .
They meant something to me, and when I saw this movement – it started, you know, in the '50s, but it really took hold in the '80s after Roe v. Wade became the law of the land, and Norman Lear had created People for the American Way and I started to see that There was a movement afoot that had nothing to do with what I understood to be the teachings of Jesus, and was a purely political movement for justice and power.
And I got a book – I was sent a book called Servants of power By Katherine Stewart And I said, “Wow, this could be a great documentary to show that there's a difference between the principles of Christianity and Christian nationalism, which is a purely political movement.”

It's so funny how Reiner tries to pretend this isn't about politics and elections, when that's clearly the case.
