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.
And we're losing...
Yes there definitely is a war on women.
And it’s being waged by Planned Parenthood and the liberal elite who make out that woman are nothing but victims ... all the time 24/7/365, nothing but victims.
Banality is all they have.
“Does that sound like the temperament of a man we should elect for president?”
After her threat to smear menstrual blood in the faces of those who don’t agree with you?? Personally, only calling her a fat pig and a slob demonstrates to me the kind of self-control needed in a President...
Too lazy to fake a hate crime?
War on women?
How would Rosie know?
BTW, just like a woman’s period defecating and urination are normal bodily functions, but I don’t put them on display for others to see...
War on women? Yes! By feminists and lesbians who want to destroy motherhood and womanhood!!!
Is she saying this as a husband or a wife?
The war on women is in the Middle East. That is a war on women. I don’t see her doing anything there.
She is just a typical female creating hysterics and getting attention.
I need a new computer. There was no barf bucket warning. And this truly is a barftastic story.
The only war on women is when Rosie hangs out at a lesbian club.
Only on you, Rosie.
Oh! but wait. After statements like that Trump is the bad guy.
Rosie must be so unhappy personally that her only purpose to make others as unhappy as she is.
If there’s a war on women, then Rosie has nothing to worry about.
Is she after Hillary again?
Yep. Remember this gem from the litigation over her magazine?
A cancer survivor burst into tears Wednesday when she testified that Rosie O'Donnell had suggested she was lying about goings-on at her now-defunct magazine "Rosie" and told her that liars get cancer. "You know what happens to people who lie," the witness quoted O'Donnell as saying. "They get sick and they get cancer. If they keep lying, they get it again."
While she is on a comedy show making millions, her rights are being tripped away? Maybe womens rights in Somalia are being stripped away.
Who lets lunatics like this make these kinds of statements?
No there’s a war on idiots like you! Gender doesn’t matter. Any guy as low an IQ would be under the same assault you are...
And she is the weapon of choice an old crusty battle ax.
