Top Democrats have lined up to mourn Rob Reiner, the legendary Hollywood director and progressive activist whose death has stunned Hollywood and the political establishment.

Reiner and his wife, Michele Singer Reiner, were found stabbed to death in their Los Angeles home on Sunday night, with authorities investigating the deaths as “apparent homicides.”

In a shocking development, People magazine reported that the couple, who married in 1989, were allegedly killed by their own son.

The tragedy prompted an immediate outpouring of tributes from Democratic leaders who framed his legacy as inseparable from his liberal politics and civic activism.

California Governor Gavin Newsom led the tributes, writing that he and his wife were “heartbroken” as he praised Reiner as “the big-hearted genius behind so many of the classic stories we love,” whose advocacy stretched from civil rights to early childhood education.
