White House Blasts Rosie O'Donnell After 4 Nights of Trump Jabs on Kimmel

Summary
A White House spokesperson on Friday called Rosie O'Donnell a “nasty woman” and “total slob” after her weeklong guest-hosting run on “Jimmy Kimmel Live.”
Four nights of monologues and sketches repeatedly targeted Donald Trump, culminating Thursday with O'Donnell dubbing him a “hungry, hungry hypocrite” and singing a parody, “Donny Boy,” that mocked his polls, Iran and inflation.
O'Donnell's representative declined to comment on the White House statement.
The clash extends a feud dating to 2006, when O'Donnell mocked Trump's bankruptcies on “The View,” and she has framed her Kimmel appearance as part of entertainers' First Amendment right to criticize government.
