Comedian Rosie O’Donnell on Friday said women’s rights in America are under attack.
O’Donnell said politicians are undoing the progress activists have made, according to CBS News.
“Bigger than any specific people, there is a war on women that is happening in this country,” O’Donnell told host Jenny Hutt on SiriusXM’s radio program “Just Jenny.”
“Women fought for equality in this country, and right now, politically, it’s being taken away from us."
O’Donnell was discussing runner Kiran Gandhi’s decision to run the London Marathon this year without a tampon while menstruating.
The comic argued Friday that demonstrations like Gandhi’s are essential because of increasing political pressure against women.
“Why do you think she did that?” O’Donnell asked of Gandhi’s protest. “When Fox anchors are being accused of being hormonal and ashamed because they have their period?”
“I’d like to take my period blood I no longer have and write, ‘you’re all assh---s,” she added of public figures opposing women’s rights. “I’d like to smear it all over some people’s faces.”
O’Donnell played a role in last week's Republican presidential debate, after Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly’s questioned Donald Trump about his history of derogatory language toward women.
“When it comes to women, you’ve called them ‘fat pigs,’ ‘dogs’ and ‘slobs,' ” Kelly said to Trump during the Aug. 6 event in Cleveland.
“Only Rosie O’Donnell,” Trump interrupted to cheers, reigniting his public feud with the comic.
“Does that sound like the temperament of a man we should elect for president?” Kelly asked the outspoken billionaire in response.
Trump is weathering widespread criticism after saying Kelly "had blood coming out of her wherever" when questioning him at the debate.
But the controversy is not hurting Trump’s status as the front-runner for the GOP’s presidential nomination in 2016. The New York business mogul is currently the heavy favorite for the Republican nomination in national polls.
How would she know?
Im surprised a marathon runner would still get her period.
Yes, Rosie.
That is why you should be locked up in an institution.
And forgotten.
Exactly, now if she wants to be a spokesman for freaks, she has more experience.
Rosie is absolutely disgusting. What filth.
Does Rosie have a dog in this fight?
There is nothing wrong wth telling the truth. She is a disgusting pig.
She wages it
Ah!.. NOT liquidating BABYS for shampoo and hand cream is an attack on women..
Follow the money.. Rosie follows the hair on her upper lip..
WHO KNEW?..
If a majority women agree with Rosie then there needs to be a real war on women.
She IS the dog in this fight.
Oh, well, I thought she was the ‘man’ part of her situation and I know ‘men’ don’t have periods....
Yep Trump was right. She is a disqusting PIG!
Rosie is the dog in this fight.
Women have more power IMO than even they know what to do with.
They have more control of the national wealth.
When they stay in the market they actually get paid MORE on average then men.
There is a war on them through Planned Parenthood though.
Comedian? She hasn't said anything funny in years. She's just a vindictive old dyke looking for another day in the sun.
Go see what most women all over the world have to deal with - rapes, being sold, genital mutilation, etc. - and then come back and complain about America's war on women.
STFU.
And Rosie’s leading it.
