Rosie O'Donnell Targets President Trump in Opening Monologue on Jimmy Kimmel Live
Guest host Rosie O'Donnell used her third night on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" to deliver a pointed remark about President Donald Trump and his White House aide, amid ongoing public disputes.
Rosie O'Donnell opened her third stint as guest host of "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" with a brief jab at President Donald Trump, referencing the White House aide Natalie Harp. She addressed viewers at home and in the White House, saying she had "bad news for President Petty Roosevelt" and urging him to "hang up your wig and let Natalie tuck you in."
The remarks came as the relationship between Harp and the president has been under heightened scrutiny after recent comments by Senator Jon Ossoff. White House officials responded to criticism on social media, with spokesperson Davis Ingle dismissing Ossoff's remarks and communications director Steven Cheung attacking the senator.
Reports have emerged about Harp's conduct in the White House, including an alleged altercation with Secret Service agents over seating in the president's vehicle and questions about her security clearance. O'Donnell's monologue added to the ongoing public feud that has spanned two decades between the comedian and the president.
