FROM FOX NEWS: Rosie O’Donnell, the liberal actress and comic, apologized on social media Sunday after falsely claiming the Minneapolis Catholic church school shooter was a MAGA supporter, a Republican and a White supremacist.
Last Thursday, O’Donnell posted a video after learning about the attack that left two children dead and 18 others injured, 15 of them kids.
The comedian said the violence reminded her of the Columbine massacre in 1999, when she struggled to comprehend that American students were shooting each other in schools.
Regarding the Minneapolis shooting, O’Donnell pointed out it took place inside a Catholic school and added: “What do you know? It was a white guy, Republican, MAGA person. What do you know? White supremacists.”
It took O’Donnell until Sunday to admit how wrong she was, even though the killer’s real political leanings, and his personal feelings about President Donald J. Trump, were known by Thursday.
“I knew a lot of you were very upset about the video I made before I went away for a few days,” O’Donnell said in a new video.”You are right. I did not do my due diligence before I made that emotional statement, and I said things about the shooter that were incorrect.”
She continued, “I assumed, like most shooters, they followed a standard MO and had standard, you know, feelings of… you know, NRA-loving kind of gun people.
“Anyway, the truth is I messed up, and when you mess up, you fess up. I’m sorry. This is my apology video and I hope it’s enough.”
