'Smell of desperation': Internet trolls Rob Reiner as he urges Taylor Swift to endorse Joe Biden for re-election

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Hollywood veteran Rob Reiner has sparked a fiery online debate after making an impassioned plea for pop icon Taylor Swift to publicly endorse President Joe Biden's bid for re-election in 2024, as per Fox News.

In a surprising tweet, the director behind classics like 'This Is Spinal Tap' and 'The Princess Bride' revealed that he would "give anything" for Swift to vocally throw her support behind Biden, asserting that her endorsement could "virtually single-handedly save American Democracy."

Rob Reiner urges Taylor Swift to endorse President Joe Biden's re-election bid

"I'm in the midst of shooting a sequel to This is Spinal Tap. As much as I'd like Taylor Swift to do a cameo in the film, I'd give anything for her to endorse Joe Biden. She would virtually single-handedly save American Democracy," expressed Reiner in a post on X (formerly Twitter).

Reiner's foray into political activism is nothing new. His latest documentary, 'God and Country', delves into the controversial subject of Christian Nationalism, shedding light on its ramifications on both the constitutional fabric of the United States and the essence of Christianity itself.

A staunch supporter of the Democratic Party, Reiner has spared no effort in championing his political convictions. He has consistently lauded Biden as a figure of integrity while lambasting former President Donald Trump as a "pathologically lying criminal."

Taylor Swift has yet to formally endorse any candidate for the 2024 election

Swift, a figure of immense influence in her own right, has yet to formally endorse any candidate. However, her leanings towards Biden are evident from her past actions. The songstress threw her weight behind Biden during the 2020 elections and has remained an ardent critic of Trump.

Speculation regarding Swift's potential endorsement of Biden reached a fever pitch following a report by The New York Times, which hinted at Biden's camp hoping to secure Swift's backing. The prospect even saw suggestions of Biden making an appearance at one of Swift's 'Eras Tour' stops.

Swift's impact on voter engagement cannot be overstated. A single Instagram post from her in 2022 spurred a staggering 35,000 new voter registrations. Despite the strong desire for Swift's endorsement, the pop icon has remained somewhat hesitant on overt political commitments.

While urging her followers to exercise their civic duty on Super Tuesday, Swift stopped short of endorsing specific candidates or parties. Instead, she emphasized the importance of voting for representatives who resonate with individual values.

Internet mocks Rob Reiner upon learning of his plea to Taylor Swift

Upon learning of Reiner's plea to Swift, the internet wasted no time in mocking him. One user on X remarked, "Someones getting nervous," while another quipped, "The smell of desperation."

A user dismissed Reiner's credibility, stating, "Reiner is not an authority on anything," while another simply labeled him, "what a loser. Pathetic." Adding to the chorus of ridicule, another user sarcastically commented, "Why doesn’t Rob Reiner endorse Biden? He is such a household name in America that I am sure he’d make a huge difference to his campaign."

Another user opted for a direct jab, writing, "Stop it Meat Head!" One user bluntly remarked, "Mr. no talent."
