Rosie O'Donnell apologizes to Melania Trump for autism speculation
CBS ^ | 1 Dec 2016 | NED EHRBAR

Posted on 12/01/2016 3:01:54 PM PST by mandaladon

Rosie O’Donnell is saying sorry -- and locking up her Twitter account.

The outspoken comedian and former “The View” co-host came under fire for sharing a video speculating about whether or not Donald and Melania Trump’s 10-year-old son, Barron, could be autistic.

Shortly before making her Twitter account private on Thursday, O’Donnell wrote a message apologizing to the future First Lady. “I apologize to @MELANIATRUMP - i was insensitive in my RT - i am sorry for the pain i caused - it was not my intent - i am truly sorry,” O’Donnell wrote.

The YouTube user who posted the original video also released an apology Thursday after taking down the clip.

“It was incredibly irresponsible of me to diagnose Barron Trump using a selection of misleading videos,” the YouTuber said in a statement to TMZ. “I falsely correlated him trying to stay awake and occasionally doing quirky things, with him suffering from autism.”

How many times has this freak had to apologize to the Trump family? She was already in trouble for accusing him of filing personal bankruptcy!

She’s not sorry that she said it.
She’s sorry that she got called on it.

When I got out of the military, she said that people like me needed to go to prison because we owned pieces of metal that went, “Bang,” when we pulled their triggers.

In a way, O’Donnell made me into the rabid second amendment conservative that I am today.
Her dancing on the graves of the victims at Columbine made me open my eyes and begin this journey.

So, thank you, Rosie.
And, ESAD!

I don’t think I’ve EVER seen or heard a LefTard FeckTard APOLOGIZE in a situation like this.

Normally, they double down on the hate and the nastiness!

An early Christmas Miracle?

I still despise her, in case anyone’s keeping score at home, LOL!

Not her intent? Really? What other intention could there be?

I think I read someplace that Donald had encouraged Melania to start a lawsuit in reaction to Rosie’s latest tirade. If this happened, I presume it would be for invasion of privacy on behalf of Barron (provable!), defamation of character (iffy) or slander (still iffy).

I am in no way a fan of Rosie O’Donnel, but I will give her credit for this. I think it was a decent thing to do.

Maybe a step in the right direction for her. It’s a start and we all have to start somewhere.
