On Monday, Rosie O’Donnell apologized publicly for her Thursday claim that the Minneapolis church shooter was a Republican and MAGA supporter. After last Wednesday’s shooting at Annunciation Catholic Church and School, O’Donnell posted about the shooter on her TikTok.
She later apologized, saying she “did not do my due diligence” before making claims about the shooter.

Investigators identified the attacker as a transgender person legally known as Robin Westman; videos and writings showed fixation on past mass shooters and included “Kill Donald Trump,” plus anti-religious and antisemitic material.
The original TikTok was removed by Tuesday morning after O’Donnell’s apology drew sharp criticism online. She replied to one critic, writing “I was wrong- and I apologize- what more do want?”
Investigators and fact-checkers found no links between the shooter and the Republican Party or MAGA movement, while FBI Director Kash Patel called the attack “barbaric” and tied it to domestic terrorism motivated by hate.
