Rosie O\u2019Donnell, the liberal actress and comic, apologized on social media Sunday after falsely claiming the Minneapolis<\/a> Catholic church school shooter was a MAGA supporter, a Republican and a White supremacist.<\/p>\n Last Thursday, O\u2019Donnell posted a video after learning about the attack that left two children dead<\/a> and 18 others injured, 15 of them kids.<\/p>\n The comedian said the violence reminded her of the Columbine massacre in 1999, when she struggled to comprehend that American students were shooting each other in schools.<\/p>\n Regarding the Minneapolis shooting, O\u2019Donnell pointed out it took place inside a Catholic school and added: “What do you know? It was a white guy, Republican, MAGA person. What do you know? White supremacists.”<\/p>\n WHAT LEADS SOMEONE TO COMMIT A MASS SHOOTING?

I did not do my due diligence before I made that emotional statement, and I said things about the shooter that were incorrect.<\/p>\n “I assumed, like most shooters, they followed a standard MO and had standard, you know, feelings of\u2026 you know, NRA-loving kind of gun people,” O\u2019Donnell continued. “Anyway, the truth is I messed up, and when you mess up, you fess up. I\u2019m sorry. This is my apology video and I hope it\u2019s enough.”<\/p>\n MINNEAPOLIS POLICE REVEAL MORE ABOUT CHURCH SCHOOL SHOOTER’S MOTIVE<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Rosie O’Donnell photographed in Ireland after her comedy set.<\/span> (Mark Doyle)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Her apology drew sharp criticism online. One user called it “the most unapologetic apology ever.” Another wrote, “She\u2019s not sorry, she still means exactly what she said.” A third said she was “trying to save face, because she opened her mouth and was so wrong.”<\/p>\n In the comments, O\u2019Donnell replied<\/a> to one critic, writing, “I was wrong \u2013 and I apologize \u2013 what more do [you] want?”<\/p>\n Others said the misstep reflected a bigger problem. “It\u2019s good that you apologized, but this is what is keeping this country so divided,” one person wrote. “So much mistruths being spread by both sides. People need to fact check every single political thing that they see because the majority of it is a lie.”<\/p>\n MINNEAPOLIS CHURCH SHOOTER’S MOTHER REFUSES TO TALK TO POLICE AFTER DEADLY ATTACK ON CHILDREN<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n A memorial honoring shooting victims sits outside the Annunciation Church in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on Aug. 28, 2025.<\/span> (Tim Evans\/Reuters)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n O\u2019Donnell\u2019s remarks came less than a week after the gunman opened fire during a Mass at Annunciation Catholic Church in Minneapolis, where students from the attached school were gathered.<\/p>\n The gunfire shattered stained-glass and pew-side windows as students and parishioners ducked for cover.<\/p>\n![\"Rosie](\"https:\/\/www.jubi24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/rosie-odonnell-ireland-feud-donald-trump-fox-news_008-1.jpg\")
