Michelle Obama said she and Barack Obama were meant to see Rob Reiner and wife Michele on the day that they were tragically killed
Michelle Obama is opening up about the tragic deaths of Hollywood director Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele Singer Reiner.
“We’ve known them for many, many years, and we were supposed to be seeing them that night — last night — and we got the news,” Michelle, 61, said of herself and Barack Obama during a Monday, December 15, appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live.
Michelle also appeared to address President Donald Trump, who earlier Monday mocked Rob’s death, describing him as a “deranged person” who had “Trump derangement syndrome,” referring to the director’s frequent opposition to the Trump administration.
“And let me just say this: Unlike some people, Rob and Michele Reiner are some of the most decent, courageous people,” Michelle said on Monday. “They are not deranged or crazed. What they have always been are passionate people. In a time when there’s not a lot of courage going on, they were the kind of people who were ready to put their actions behind what they cared about.
