Michael Cohen - The Weaponization of Death [View all]

Last night I attended Dan Abrams’ Mediaite “Most Influential in News Media 2025” event. It was bipartisan, well-attended, and exactly what you’d expect from a gathering of people who shape—or at least loudly comment on—our national conversation. The room included Joe and Mika Scarborough, Elie Honig, Scott Jennings, Ari Melber, Megyn Kelly, Harry Enten, Dean Obeidallah, Elizabeth Vargas, and yes, me. A cross-section of modern media, shaking hands, trading small talk, and pretending for a few hours that the country isn’t in a constant state of political combustion.

But beneath the surface politeness, one question kept surfacing. It wasn’t subtle. It wasn’t theoretical. It was direct and unavoidable.

Why?

Why did Donald Trump say what he said about the murders of Rob and Michele Reiner?
