Ellen DeGeneres Stands With Rosie O'Donnell: A Surprising Political Shift!
"SHOCKING REUNION: Ellen DeGeneres Gives Rosie O'Donnell a Standing O After Trump Threatens to Revoke Her Citizenship!
In a dramatic turn of events, President Donald Trump shocked the nation by threatening to revoke comedian and actress Rosie O'Donnell's US citizenship on Saturday. But in a stunning display of solidarity, Ellen DeGeneres - who had previously been at odds with O'Donnell - showed her public support for the 63-year-old comedian.
The drama began when Trump took to Truth Social, his social media platform, and vowed to take away O'Donnell's citizenship because she is "a threat to humanity" and should remain in Ireland. But instead of cowering under the President's threats, O'Donnell fired back with a series of scathing posts on Instagram, calling Trump a "mentally ill, untreated criminal" who lacks empathy and basic humanity.
And then, just hours later, Ellen DeGeneres - who had been criticized by O'Donnell in the past for not speaking out against Trump's policies - showed her support for O'Donnell by sharing Trump's post on her own social media account. She also gave a shout-out to O'Donnell with a simple "Good for you @rosie."
But this isn't the first time that Ellen and Rosie have clashed. In fact, O'Donnell has been vocal about Ellen's perceived lack of political activism in the past, telling Us Weekly that she was surprised to learn that Ellen had left the US due to Trump's re-election last November.
"I've never really known Ellen to say anything political in her life, so I was surprised to read that she left because of President Trump," O'Donnell said. "Like, that shocked me, actually."
And while Ellen has kept a relatively low profile on social media, O'Donnell has been using her platform to speak out against Trump and his policies. In fact, the comedian has been vocal about her decision to leave the US and move to Ireland due to Trump's presidency.
"It's not like we're tenaciously opposed to each other," O'Donnell said in a recent interview with THR. "We're just very different people. We have had some stuff in the past that we never resolved. And not in any way as, as partners or lovers or anything like that, just as friends and comedians, but I wish her the best. I seriously do."
Despite Trump's threats to revoke O'Donnell's citizenship, legal experts say that it is highly unlikely that he would be able to do so due to the 14th Amendment, which grants citizenship to all persons born or naturalized in the United States.
But for now, Rosie O'Donnell and Ellen DeGeneres are putting aside their differences to stand up against Trump's attacks. And with Ellen's public support, O'Donnell is more determined than ever to continue speaking out against the President and his policies.
"I'm not yours to silence," O'Donnell wrote on Instagram. "I never was."
