Senator Mark Kelly has sharply criticized former President Donald Trump for comments he described as “horrific” following the killing of Rob Reiner.
In a public statement, Kelly accused Trump of showing a disturbing lack of empathy and condemned Republican figures who attempted to defend or downplay the remarks.
He said the comments reflected behavior unfit for any national leader, especially in the wake of a violent tragedy.

Kelly argued that Trump’s response crossed a moral line, stating that no reasonable person would make such remarks while a family and community are grieving.
His condemnation adds to growing bipartisan backlash, as even some Republicans have expressed discomfort with Trump’s tone and language.

The controversy has intensified debate in Washington over political decency, accountability, and the limits of partisan loyalty, with pressure mounting on GOP leaders to clearly distance themselves from the remarks.
