Former talk show host Rosie O’Donnell falsely stated on Thursday that Robin Westman, the trans-identifying shooter who killed two children at a Catholic school in Minnesota, supported President Donald Trump.
O’Donnell baselessly stated on her TikTok account that Westman was a “Republican” and a “MAGA person,” despite him calling for Trump to be killed in a cryptic message written on one of his firearms. The shooter changed his name from Roger to Robin in 2019 because he identified “as a female” and wanted his name to “reflect that identification,” according to court records.
“What do you know? [The shooter] was a white guy, Republican, MAGA person. What do you know? White supremacist,” O’Donnell said.
Rosie O’Donnell falsely says the Minneapolis trans attacker was a “Republican, MAGA person, white supremacist.”

Rosie has a daughter who identities as they/them so you can see why Rosie ignores that the attacker was leftist and trans.
Rosie can’t face reality.

Westman confessed in a manifesto that he was “tired of being trans” and wished he had “never brainwashed” himself, according to a translation by the New York Post. He further stated that he knew he was not a girl but “definitely [didn’t] feel like a man.”
The shooter disturbingly praised the Sandy Hook school shooting in 2012 and wrote about his fantasies to be a “scary horrible monster standing over those powerless kids” ahead of the tragic shooting in Minneapolis. Hours before the shooting, Westman posted videos to YouTube where he zoomed in on ammunition, multiple guns and cartridges, which included one message calling for Trump’s murder.

Westman shot bullets through a stain-glass window at the Annunciation Catholic Church on Wednesday during a weekly-morning Mass service. The shooting tragically claimed the lives of eight-year-old Fletcher Merkel and ten-year-old Harper Moyski. The shooter then took his own life at the back of the church.
The shooter was a transgender regret case.

The day before this shooting, we exposed the American Medical Association’s negligence on regret data. The morning of, we exposed the AMA’s ‘trans expert’ admitting there’s no true psychiatric assessment done before transing a kid. 🧵 pic.twitter.com/b05PnRCeNB
Seventeen others, including 14 children, were injured as a result of the incident, Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara confirmed on Wednesday.
Democrats, including Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, have scolded people for offering their “thoughts and prayers” because they do not prevent mass shootings and because the children were praying at the time of the shooting.
