Comedian Rosie O’Donnell has publicly apologized after stating that the Minnesota Catholic school shooter was a “Republican, MAGA supporter,” and a “White supremacist.”
On Thursday, O’Donnell posted a video claiming that the school shooter was a MAGA supporter, a Republican, and a White supremacist.
“What do you know? It was a white guy, Republican, MAGA person. What do you know? White supremacists,” O’Donnell had originally stated.

“I knew a lot of you were very upset about the video I made before I went away for a few days,” she said in a new video, adding that she did not have 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.”

Her apology drew criticism online, with one user calling it “the most unapologetic apology ever.”
“She’s not sorry, she still means exactly what she said,” another user said.
“It’s good that you apologized, but this is what is keeping this country so divided,” one person wrote. “So much mistruths being spread by both sides. People need to fact check every single political thing that they see because the majority of it is a lie.”
In the comments, O’Donnell replied to one critic, writing, “I was wrong – and I apologize – what more do [you] want?”
