Donald Trump and MAGA loyalists are calling actor and filmmaker Rob Reiner a “meathead” for his praise of President Joe Biden’s administration, seemingly unaware (or potentially disregarding) that Reiner’s liberal character from the ‘70s-era sitcom “All in the Family” was called that by Archie Bunker, the show’s overbearing, antagonizing bigot.
Earlier on Friday, Reiner tweeted, “It’s long past time that we acknowledge the sure handed, effective, grace under fire, success of Joe Biden’s Presidency.” The tweet set off derision from Trump fanatics and the nickname “meathead” — originally directed toward Reiner’s Michael Stivok, Bunker’s unemployed son-in-law of Polish descent, in the series — quickly began trending on the platform.
