Hollywood leftist Rosie O’Donnell spread dangerous lies about Trump supporters being behind a tragic school shooting, proving once again how the entertainment elite weaponizes tragedy to attack conservatives.
Celebrity Spreads Anti-MAGA Misinformation
Rosie O’Donnell demonstrated the left’s reflexive hatred for Trump supporters when she posted a TikTok video immediately after the Minneapolis school shooting, claiming without evidence that the perpetrator was a “white guy, Republican, MAGA person, white supremacist.” The former talk show host’s reckless accusations came just one day after the tragic August 28 incident at Annunciation Catholic Church and School that killed two innocent children and wounded 18 others. Her inflammatory rhetoric exemplifies how Hollywood elites exploit national tragedies to advance their political agenda against conservative Americans.
Truth Contradicts Liberal Narrative
Law enforcement investigation revealed the shooter’s identity as Robin (Robert) Westman, a transgender individual whose social media presence included anti-Trump messaging rather than MAGA support. This factual revelation directly contradicted O’Donnell’s baseless claims and exposed her rush to judgment as politically motivated rather than truth-seeking. The stark difference between O’Donnell’s false narrative and the established facts demonstrates how liberal celebrities manufacture stories that fit their preconceived notions about conservative Americans, regardless of actual evidence or harm caused to grieving families.
Forced Apology After Public Backlash
Facing intense criticism for her misinformation campaign, O’Donnell posted an apology video on August 31, stating “I did not do my due diligence before I made that emotional statement, and I said things about the shooter that were incorrect.” Her admission that she failed to verify basic facts before attacking Trump supporters reveals the dangerous pattern of celebrity activism that prioritizes political narratives over truth. The apology came only after public outcry forced accountability, demonstrating that without pressure, these influential figures would continue spreading harmful falsehoods about conservative Americans.
Pattern of Elite Anti-Conservative Bias
O’Donnell’s false accusations represent a broader problem of entertainment industry figures using their platforms to demonize conservative Americans without evidence or accountability. The immediate assumption that a school shooter must be a Trump supporter reflects deep-seated bias that pervades Hollywood’s political commentary, where facts become secondary to advancing anti-conservative narratives. This incident underscores why Americans increasingly distrust celebrity political opinions and highlights the need for responsible discourse rather than inflammatory rhetoric that divides the nation during times of tragedy and mourning.
