Carl Reiner’s daughter Annie is using the comedy legend’s Twitter account to share her father’s political beliefs after his death.
Reiner, the veteran comedian, actor, and director known for starring in “The Dick Van Dyke Show” and “Ocean’s” movies, died Monday at age 98. His assistant Judy Nagy told The Associated Press that he died of natural causes at his home in Beverly Hills, California. Filmmaker Rob Reiner, the son of the legendary star, also confirmed his death in a tweet: “Last night my father passed away. As I write this, my heart hurts. It was my guiding light.” he wrote.
In a series of tweets from Carl’s Twitter account, author Annie Reiner, 71, told her father’s more than 389,000 followers that she would have been “disappointed if she had not lived to see Trump’s eviction of the White House”.
“We wanted to write a final tweet for him to let him know how much he appreciated his responses and support,” he wrote. “I will say one last thing for him. I know he would be disappointed not to have lived to see Trump’s eviction from the White House, to make the United States safe again by honor and truth. VOTE!”

Reiner was a prolific tweeter who often confronted Trump online, recently calling the president “fraud and danger … democracy” and called for the separation of the Trump administration from children and their families on the border between United States and Mexico.
“My tweets about him get thousands of responses,” Reiner told USA TODAY last May. “He is proud of the fact that he is the worst human being who has ever worked in the (Oval Office). He is the best, being rotten. He takes it as a compliment.”
