White House insults Rosie ODonnell after she says Trump wants to cancel The View
Lesbian comedienne Rosie ODonnell is worried that President Donald Trump and his dictatorship will try to cancel the all-female daytime talk show The View because of its co-hosts criticisms against him. While ODonnell, a previous co-host on the show who now lives in Ireland, promised to continue speaking out against Trump, a White House spokesperson bitterly responded, Our country is better off with Rosie living abroad.In a post on the video-sharing platform TikTok, ODonnell wrote, You know what I just read today?ABC is reviewing the liberal bias on The View.The VIEW.The show with five women speaking the own opinions Thats the threat now. Her use of the word threat echoes Trump calling ODonnella threat to humanity when he threatened to revoke her U.S. citizenship last month (something he cant actually do).

Because its not enough to run the country into the ground.You have to control what people SEEWhat they HEARWhat they think.And The View?Well, thats a little too much woman -a little too much truth, she added. They say they want balance.But what they mean is silence.Silence anything that doesnt praise the orange messiahand his golden escalator of lies.

(During the normal tourist visit, five people died, roughly 140 police officers were injured, rioters broke windows, smeared feces in the Capitol hallways, and stole computer equipment causing a national security breach.)This isnt just about a TV show.Its about what happenswhen powerful men decidetheyve heard enough from women. When they label truth as bias,and disagreement as danger,and they start scrubbing the airwavesof anyone who makes them uncomfortable.History has shown usover and over and overthat when women stop speaking,things fall apart, she wrote. So nowe do not get quieter.We do not make ourselves smaller,so they can feel more comfortable. We speak louder. We take up space.We stand togetherand say what is true,even when it shakes the walls. Because the most dangerous sound in the worldis a woman who knows what shes talking aboutand refuses to stop. Trumps White House Spokesperson Taylor Rogers responded to ODonnells post. Rogers statement to Variety said, Rosie ODonnell and Joyless Behar are irrelevant losers with too much time on their hands, whining about a failing talk show while everyday Americans are working hard. Our country is better off with Rosie living abroad and we can all hope Joyless Behar will join her next!ODonnell isnt the first lesbian TV to warn others about the Trump dictatorship. Earlier this week, lesbian MSNBC news host Rachel Maddow warned viewers, We now live in a country that has an authoritarian leader in charge.To back up her point, Maddow pointed to the Trump administrations use of non-uniformed ICE agents to forcibly kidnap and deport people to torture camps without any due process and his use of extortionary tactics to silence any critics (including business heads, federal government officials, and military leaders).Subscribe to theLGBTQ Nation newsletterand be the first to know about the latest headlines shaping LGBTQ+ communities worldwide.
