Rosie O'Donnell Calls Donald Trump 'Crazy and Demented' After He Falsely Accuses Immigrants of 'Eating Dogs and Cats' During Debate
Rosie O'Donnell was sat and attentive for Donald Trump's debate against Kamala Harris ahead of the 2024 presidential election.
The famed comedian was posting to social media in real time during the televised ABC News event, reacting to various absurd things Trump ranted about while positioned at a podium across the stage from Harris.
"Crazy demented uncle #nevertrump," O'Donnell captioned a zoomed-in photo of Trump screaming into the microphone during the debate, which took place at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia, Penn.
The A League of Their Own actress' posts came as Trump went on a wild rant about a conspiracy theory that immigrants are eating people's pets, a claim his running mate, J.D. Vance, recently faced backlash for after sharing it on social media.
"In Springfield, they’re eating the dogs, the people that came in, they’re eating the cats. They’re eating the pets of the people that live there," Trump alleged of non-American citizens.
ABC News anchor David Muir, who was one of two moderators handling the debate, attempted to correct Trump by revealing a city official from Springfield, Ohio, informed him their had been "no credible reports of specific claims of pets being harmed, injured or abused by individuals within the immigrant community."
The Apprentice star doubled down on his accusation, however, insisting: "People on television say my dog was taken and used for food."
Chrissy Teigen was also among celebrities who spoke out via social media against Trump during the debate.
