Rosie O’Donnell is now apologizing for falsely claiming last week’s shooter at the Catholic school in Minneapolis was a “Republican, MAGA person” and “white supremacist.”
Her original video in the wake of the horror at the Annunciation Catholic Church and School that killed two children and wounded 18 others has the actress stating: “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,” she asserted on TikTok.
“This was a church inside a Catholic school. And what do you know? This was a white guy, Republican, MAGA person, what do you know? White supremacist.”

Now the fierce critic of President Donald Trump is admitting she “messed up” and did not do her “due diligence.”
“I know a lot of you were very upset about the video I made before I went away for a few days,” O’Donnell began.
“I didn’t go online and haven’t seen them ’til today, but 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 M.O. 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 reality, the shooter has been identified as Robert Westman, a transgender who legally changed his name to Robin Westman in 2017 with the support of his mother.
He was not a Trump-supporting MAGA person, as one of the messages on the magazine of his gun stated, “Kill Donald Trump.”
O’Donnell is now living in Ireland, having fled the U.S. due to her loathing of President Trump.
