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.”

She knows Melania can afford to sue the crapola out of her.

Maybe her lawyers told her she had better apologize, pronto, or she was gonna lose a boatload of money? Just speculation on my part, of course.

Rosie O’Donnell implied that a 10-year-old child is autistic, just because she doesn’t like his father? Even by the low standards I expected from her, that is disgusting. And, no, I don’t for one moment believe she did not intend to cause pain with her vicious attack on a child.

Megyn Kelly: “You’ve called women you don’t like ‘fat pigs,’ ‘dogs,’ ‘slobs,’ and ‘disgusting animals’ . . .”

Trump: “Only Rosie O’Donnell”

President Trump has been far too mild when criticizing that disgusting and evil woman. The correct response to their ongoing rudeness would have been to be rude about him, not about his pre-teen son. Picking on young children because you don’t like their parents is so low that I thought even liberals would not stoop to that level. As usually happens when I expect decency from the left, I turned out to be wrong.

The evil woman deserves to be sued to teach her cruel mouth a lesson.

And The FReepers who agreed with Rosie and floated this garbage with numerous posts and threads right here for a week deserve a swift kick in the azz.

Nice to see she apologized. Of course, she’ll inevitably step in it again.

this is probably NOTHING compared to the left wing whispers going around. If they had ANYTHING would they not have used it before the election?

What is missing is any coverage of the condition Hillry was in, when a 10 year old child, was was quite capable and competent to take a ‘global’ stage at 3:00 am. And remember Hillry’s claim to fame ‘it takes a village’, for the children.

And it went down hill from there. Two other threads were pulled. And that video that Melania had removed with apology had been posted at #44 and defended by the gang.

It’s a combination of pure jealousy of this family or they’re looking for a poster child and related funding for the cause to benefit themselves or a family member. Or they’re just indiscriminate idiots with no sense of shame.
