A crowd at Turning Point USA's AmFest event booed slain Hollywood director Rob Reiner after MAGA influencer Steve Bannon said liberals believed he had a larger impact on culture than Charlie Kirk.
"Just I want to say one thing," Bannon told the AmFest crowd on Friday. "You know, the Rob Reiner — The situation is obviously a tragedy. The president's given you his unique take on things about that situation."
As the crowd booed, Bannon noted that Democratic strategist James Carville had celebrated Reiner as having "a bigger impact on America and American culture" than Kirk.
"You make a handful of crappy movies," the MAGA host quipped. "Charlie Kirk changed the direction of this country and saved this country. And then was assassinated in the process. Dude, you raised a kid that slit your throat. I'm just saying."
"I hate to be brutally frank about it, but I'll be brutally frank about it. But for Carville to get on there and to say that Rob Reiner did more for American culture than Charlie Kirk. This shows you how demonic they are."

Among the attractions at the Turning Point USA (TPUSA) conference being held in Phoenix, Arizona this weekend is an opportunity for attendees to get their picture taken in front of a re-creation of the tent where founder Charlie Kirk was murdered.
The four-day event, called "America Fest" is the first major gathering since Kirk was shot in the neck by an assassin as he took questions at a Utah college.
Reporting from the convention, MS NOW’s Brandy Zadrozny walked the floor and pointed out that images and reminders of Kirk are omnipresent as the conservative organization plots a course without him.
As she was speaking with host Chris Jansing, she strolled in front of a canopy that had “Prove me wrong” printed on it — an exact replica of the one from the murder scene.
"Hello from Turning Point USA in Phoenix, Arizona,” she began. “ We have had quite a time, it's been a pretty spicy conference to be honest. You can see here people are sort of winding their way back into the conference.”
“But there are three main things that are happening here,” she reported. “The first thing that's happening is grief. And you can see from behind me, this is a re-creation of the tent where Charlie Kirk lost his life at Utah University in September, and people are taking selfies with it. You can see all around people are saying, like ‘For Charlie,’ they're wearing replicas of the shirt that Charlie Kirk was wearing when he was killed. So there's that moment.”
“The second thing that's happening is really a passing of the torch,” she continued. “And that torch, as you mentioned, was being passed to his widow, Erika Kirk. Erika Kirk is now in charge of a political organization that brought in $100 million and that, you know, Donald Trump and JD Vance credit [it] with swinging some of the youth vote to Donald Trump.”
“The third thing that's happening at this conference that you just cannot get away from is that it has been inundated by conspiracy theories. Somebody called it a MAGA civil war last night, and that is that there are these factions within MAGA that Charlie Kirk used to sort of bridge.”
