Trump should ignore Rosie O’Donnell … and so should the press

&NewLine;<p>Rosie &OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;Wild Irish Rose” O’Donnell’s only relevance is that President Trump and the news media pay attention to her&period;&nbsp&semi; She has become another of those &OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;celebrities for celebrity sake”&period;&nbsp&semi; She has a big mouth&comma; but minimal influence&period;&nbsp&semi; If it were not for her past fame as a television personality&comma; she would wallow in a richly deserved obscurity&period;&nbsp&semi; Her last vestige of fame among the left is due to the singular fact that she hates Trump and everyone who aligns with the Republican Party – except for a handful of apostates&period;&nbsp&semi; Her abrasive talk fits perfectly with the Democrats new get-tough strategy&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>O’Donnell’s message to the world – from her self-exile home in the Emerald Isle &&num;8212&semi; is the same mendacious and mean-spirited propaganda that spews from her cousin Lawrence O’Donnell&period;&nbsp&semi;&nbsp&semi; &lpar;Okay&comma; they are not really blood cousins&comma; but they are bonded by their Trump Derangement Syndrome &lpar;TDS&rpar; that manifests itself in a mutual devotion to extreme hyperbolic propaganda messaging&period;&nbsp&semi; But I digress&rpar;&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>O’Donnell &lpar;the Rosie one&rpar; has recently sunk to a new low in intercultural and ethical depravity&period;&nbsp&semi; She grabbed headlines when she falsely declared that the shooter in the Minnesota Catholic Church tragedy was a &OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;White guy&comma; Republican&comma; MAGA person” &&num;8230&semi; &OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;a White supremacist&period;”<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>It was an egregious lie&period;&nbsp&semi; In fact&comma; the shooter was a mentally unstable left-wing transgender person – a female if you go by left-wing dogma &&num;8212&semi; who inscribed &OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;Kill Donald Trump” on one of her rifle magazines&period;&nbsp&semi;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>O’Donnell’s statement was so wrong and so stupid that she had no choice but to offer a public retraction&period;&nbsp&semi; She did not apologize – just a retraction wrapped in a feeble&comma; but revealing&comma; excuse&period; &nbsp&semi;She said&colon;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p><em>&OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;I did not do my due diligence before I made that emotional statement&comma; and I said things about the shooter that were incorrect&period; I assumed&comma; like most shooters&comma; they followed a standard MO and had standard&comma; you know&comma; feelings of … you know&comma; NRA loving kind of gun people&period;”<&sol;em><&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>Without a scintilla of knowledge or evidence&comma; O’Donnell made the most scurrilous public accusations against people she hates&period;  Even in her excuse&comma; she admitted that her intiial remarks were just an assumption based on her belief that the &OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;standard” shooter was a right-winger – one of those &OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;<em>NRA loving kind of gun people&period;”<&sol;em><&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>Even O’Donnell’s assumption is based on malignant prejudice&period;&nbsp&semi; Shooters come in all varieties&period;&nbsp&semi; They are not all men – although most are&period;&nbsp&semi; They are not all White – although most are&period;&nbsp&semi; They are not all right-wing political types&period;&nbsp&semi; In fact&comma; most are <strong>not<&sol;strong>&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>Many – in fact&comma; most – are not politically motivated&period; Not all mass killings are done with guns&period; Many mass shootings are gang and drug related&period;&nbsp&semi; Many killings have no apparent political motivations&period; Some are left wingers or terrorists&period;&nbsp&semi; And not all politically motivated shootings are mass events&period;&nbsp&semi; President Trump has suffered two assassination attempts from solo left-wing nutcases&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>If O’Donnell was serious about saving America from her imaginary forces of evil&comma; I think she would be more credible by engaging closer to her antagonists – rather than lobbing verbal bitter bombs across the Atlantic Ocean&period;&nbsp&semi; But &&num;8230&semi; she has decided to self-deport and take up Irish citizenship&period;&nbsp&semi; That should be good enough&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>For his part&comma; Trump has suggested that he might revoke O’Donnell’s citizenship&period;&nbsp&semi; That is something he clearly cannot do – and something he should not even propose&period;&nbsp&semi; It is just more verbal pugilism that gives O’Donnell the attention she craves&period;&nbsp&semi; Trump should concentrate on his promises and accomplishments instead to sucking oxygen out of the press room on such trivial matters&period;&nbsp&semi; At least that is how I see it&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>O’Donnell has shown the world that her Trump hatred has overpowered her sense of decency and commitment to truth&period;&nbsp&semi; She is a bitter has-been&comma; who whines and bellows out of malignant animosity&period;&nbsp&semi; Were it not for the attention she gets from the press&comma; I would happily have allowed her to vent anonymously&period;&nbsp&semi;&nbsp&semi; I wish Trump and the left-wing sycophants in the news media would allow her to sink unceremoniously into the dark abyss of late-night reruns&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>So&comma; there &OpenCurlyQuote;tis&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;
