Rosie O’Donnell Apologizes for Mislabeling Minneapolis Church Shooter’s Politics

Investigators say the Minneapolis church attack shows hallmarks of hate‑motivated domestic terrorism based on the shooter’s writings.

Overview

  • O’Donnell retracted an earlier TikTok that labeled the attacker a Republican and MAGA supporter and posted an apology for not checking facts.
  • Minneapolis police say the shooter fired through stained‑glass windows during a school Mass, killing two children and injuring 18, most of them kids.
  • The attacker, identified in reports as Robin M. Westman, legally purchased a rifle, shotgun, and pistol and used all three before dying by suicide inside the church.
  • FBI Director Kash Patel says a manifesto and other writings indicate a hate‑filled ideology with anti‑Catholic and violent antisemitic messages.
  • Videos and notes described in news reports show praise for prior mass shooters and weapon inscriptions, including "kill Donald Trump," according to the Daily Mail.
