Unhinged C-list celebrity denigrates assassination attempt that elevated Trump to folk hero status.
Unhinged Hollywood C-lister Rosie O’Donnell claimed she’s unsure whether former President Donald Trump was really shot during an assassination attempt at a rally in July.
“Now, I don’t know what happened that day, but I don’t think it was a bullet that hit him,” the League of Their Own actress said of Trump’s close call with death at a July 13 rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

“I don’t. I think it was maybe a fragment of something more,” O’Donnell continued in a video posted to TikTok last week, offering no evidence to back her accusations.
“But I don’t know, without a scar to be seen, yet blood all over it,” she added.
Following the assassination attempt, the FBI drew criticism after Director Christopher Wray appeared to cast doubt on whether a bullet actually hit the former president; however, the agency later clarified, “What struck former President Trump in the ear was a bullet, whether whole or fragmented into smaller pieces, fired from the deceased subject’s rifle.”
The obese 62-year-old Hollywood has-been went on to claim Trump’s immediate reaction after surviving the attempt on his life — pumping his fist in the air while shouting “Fight!” — was too peculiar to be real.
“Look at the photos of him right after with his fist pumping, a normal reaction, right, to almost being assassinated.”
O’Donnell went on to question why no one was looking into the insane conspiracy theory.
“There’s something really hinky about the whole thing, and I don’t know what it is, but I am saying this: For people who go on conspiracy theories for endless cycles, you know, deep dives, how come this isn’t getting a deep dive?”
The high-profile lesbian revealed one particularly puzzling piece of evidence making her question the shooting is the fact that Trump’s ear is completely intact and fully healed.
“How come people are just like, look, his ear is normal now?” O’Donnell asked. “Yeah. Well, he’s not an octopus. He doesn’t regrow his limbs, his ears, his nose, or whatever. You don’t regrow. We’re humans. You don’t regrow your arms or your ears.”
O’Donnell’s conspiracy theory isn’t just limited to fringe lunatics like herself; it’s also been spread by members of the national media, with MSNBC host Joy Reid among the originators of the lies.

In July, just days after Trump was shot, Reid published a video claiming America still didn’t know if a bullet actually hit Trump, or whether it was shrapnel or shattered glass from the teleprompter.
O’Donnell’s ridiculous theory led some on social media to question whether she might be sued in court similar to how Alex Jones was sued for questioning the Sandy Hook shooting.

Jones reacted to O’Donnell’s claims in a statement on X, defending her right to question the shooting and calling on conservatives not to censor her idiotic comments.
The Democratic Party hired PR firms to make statements in my name about Sandy Hook, that I never said. They built a straw man in the mockingbird media and massively exaggerated what they claimed I said. Conservatives, populist, and other pro freedom folks should not fall in to… https://t.co/lYaShBZ6wO

“The Democratic Party hired PR firms to make statements in my name about Sandy Hook, that I never said,” Jones wrote.
“They built a straw man in the mockingbird media and massively exaggerated what they claimed I said. Conservatives, populist, and other pro freedom folks should not fall in to the trap of backing the censorship of Rosie O’Donnell. Even what the Democrats claim I said about SH is protected speech. Everyone gets to speak including the Westboro Baptist Church.”
While the left would like to bury the assassination attempt that branded Trump an American legend and pretend it didn’t happen, the truth is someone tried to shoot the former president — and missed by a half an inch.
