Ellen DeGeneres has thrown her help behind Rosie O’Donnell after President Trump threatened to strip the comic of her US citizenship.
The previous speak present host, 67, took to Instagram over the weekend to present props to the “A League of Their Own” star, 63, after she branded the commander in chief a “dangerous old soulless man.”
“Good for you,” DeGeneres — who moved to England together with her spouse earlier this yr — wrote alongside a screenshot of Trump’s Reality Social put up, in addition to a screenshot of O’Donnell’s response to the president.
On Saturday, the POTUS raged that he’s giving “serious consideration” to taking away the comic’s US citizenship — prompting her to fireplace again with a flurry of posts ripping him and picturing him with Jeffrey Epstein.
The digital spat kickstarted after Trump branded O’Donnell a “threat to humanity” in a fiery put up on his social media platform.
“Because of the fact that Rosie O’Donnell is not in the best interests of our Great Country, I am giving serious consideration to taking away her Citizenship,” Trump wrote.
“She is a Threat to Humanity, and should remain in the wonderful Country of Ireland, if they want her. GOD BLESS AMERICA!”
O’Donnell has been residing within the Dublin suburb of Howth, in Eire, together with her 12-year-old little one since January, having initially moved there following Trump’s election win over Kamala Harris.
In March, O’Donnell revealed she and her little one, who’s non-binary and autistic, had been within the means of acquiring Irish citizenship following their trans-Atlantic transfer.
The comic took to Instagram over the weekend to concern a scathing response to the prez following his strongly-worded put up.
“Hey Donald – you’re rattled again? 18 years later and I still live rent-free in that collapsing brain of yours,” O’Donnell mentioned in a single put up, that includes a photograph of Trump posing with Epstein.
“You call me a threat to humanity – but I’m everything you fear: a loud woman a queer woman. A mother who tells the truth an American who got out of the country b4 u set it ablaze,” she railed.
“You crave loyalty – I teach my children to question power you sell fear on golf courses – I make art about surviving trauma you lie, you steal, you degrade – I nurture, I create, I persist. You are everything that is wrong with America… I’m not yours to silence. I never was.”
It’s unclear what authorized foundation Trump might use to strip the Lengthy Island native of her American citizenship.
Below present legislation, People can not lose their US citizenship standing even when they get hold of citizenship elsewhere.
