Rosie O’Donnell apologizes for suggesting Minneapolis shooter was ‘MAGA person’

Comedian Rosie O’Donnell apologized Sunday for claiming the Annunciation Catholic School shooter supported President Donald Trump, saying she “messed up.”

Last week, a shooter, Robin Westman, openly fired at children praying in the school. The number of victims as of Sunday was 23, including two children killed and 18 children and three adults injured.

O’Donnell, a critic of Trump, posted a video to TikTok on Thursday claiming that the shooter was “a white guy, Republican MAGA person.” The video is no longer on O’Donnell’s account as of Tuesday morning.

“I did not do my due diligence before I made that emotional statement, and I said things about the shooter that were incorrect,” O’Donnell said in a TikTok video Sunday. “I assumed, like most shooters, they followed a standard M.O. and had standard feelings of NRA-loving kind of gun people.

“Anyway, the truth is I messed up, and when you mess up, you fess up. This is my apology video, and I hope it’s enough.”

Joseph Thompson, the acting U.S. attorney for the District of Minnesota, said Thursday the shooter exhibited “pure, indiscriminate hate” against Catholics, Jews, and “almost every group imaginable.” Thompson also said the shooter hated Trump, as the president’s name was invoked in a violent message on Westman’s gun magazines.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced Friday that she will award $110 million to faith-based and nonprofit organizations across the country to increase security following Minneapolis’s deadly shooting. The Federal Emergency Management Agency’s Nonprofit Security Grant Program is administering these funds.
