Rosie O’Donnell Apologizes for Suggesting the Minneapolis Shooter was a ‘Republican, MAGA Person’

Rosie O’Donnell issued a video apology Sunday after suggesting that the Minneapolis school shooter was a “Republican, MAGA person.”

“Saw about the Minnesota shooting, and it brought me right back to Columbine in 1999 when I just could not get it through my head that students in America were shooting each other in schools,” O’Donnell said in a since-deleted video shared last Thursday.

“What do you know? It was a white guy, Republican, MAGA person. What do you know? White supremacists,” she continued.

However, investigators found that the shooter had expressed hatred towards President Donald Trump, calling for his death in a message scrawled on a firearm’s magazine. They also wrote disparaging messages about Christians, Black people, Hispanic people, Jews and Israel.

On Sunday, O’Donnell posted another video admitting she was wrong about the shooter’s political identity.

“I knew a lot of you were very upset about the video I made before I went away for a few days,” she said, adding that had not had time to read through the comments until Sunday.

“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.

“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,” O’Donnell continued. “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.”

In the comments section, some critics expressed their dissatisfaction with O’Donnell’s statement, with one calling it “ the most unapologetic apology ever.”
