The White House issues a sharply worded response after Rosie O’Donnell appears as a guest host for Jimmy Kimmel. In the response, a White House spokesperson attacks O’Donnell with insulting language, saying she is a “nasty woman” and a “total slob.” The statement also includes a reference to “Trump Derangement Syndrome,” characterizing O’Donnell’s views as driven by hostility toward President Donald Trump.
The outlets describe the reaction as linked to O’Donnell’s late-night segment, which occurs while she fills in for Kimmel on ABC. While both sources report the same basic content of the White House statement, they frame it through different emphasis—one highlights the “nasty woman” label and the other focuses on how O’Donnell “skewers” Trump during the guest-host appearance.
Overall, the reporting agrees that the White House criticizes O’Donnell for her television remarks and that the comments are part of an ongoing pattern of confrontations between Trump-aligned officials and O’Donnell.
