Reiner, who was stabbed to death alongside his wife at their Los Angeles home Sunday, told Piers Morgan just weeks after Kirk’s death in September that he was appalled by the conservative activist’s slaying.

“Horror. An absolute horror,” he said when asked about the shooting.

“I unfortunately saw the video of it and it’s beyond belief what happened to him and that should never happen to anybody. I don’t care what your political beliefs are. That’s not acceptable,” the outspoken Democrat told Morgan.

Reiner added he was touched by Erika Kirk’s message of forgiveness at the Turning Point USA founder’s memorial service.

“What his wife said at … the memorial they had was exactly right. And totally I believe — you know I’m Jewish — but I believe in the teachings of Jesus and I believe… in forgiveness,” Reiner said.

“And what she said to me was beautiful — you know she forgave his assassin and I think that that is admirable.”
