Rosie O’Donnell posted a video to social media accusing the United States government of raping children held in ICE detention facilities and compared the country to fascist Germany.
“Countries have fallen — stronger and bigger than ours — to fascism,” O’Donnell said in the video, before invoking World War II. “We lost a lot of Americans over there, doing what was right, ending this genocide, this Holocaust.”
“And we all vowed, ‘Never again,’ remember? Never again would we allow,” she continued. “Why did the German people allow that? Why did they? Nobody thought it was that bad, and they started making gas chambers.”
O’Donnell then said the U.S. government is “making concentration camps.” “We’re rounding up people without a warrant. We’re raping children in ICE detention. They’re all getting pregnant.”
“And they’re separated — males and females — who has access to those girls?”
She went on to ask, “What happens to their babies? What do they do with them? There are big questions. How did the Trump family make billions and billions of dollars in 18 months?”
O’Donnell offered no evidence for any of these claims.
A pattern of viral rants
The video is the latest in a string of TikTok posts O’Donnell has published since President Donald Trump took office. She relocated to Ireland last year.
Last month, she posted a song mocking the president as having a “teeny tiny” penis and referencing “dirty diapers,” days after claiming Trump is “obsessed” with her. She has repeated the “obsessed” claim multiple times, despite reportedly having her own therapist urge her to scale back her fixation on the president.
O’Donnell has also claimed Trump could use an “assassination attempt or terrorist bombing” as a pretext to cancel this year’s midterm elections. Last year she said her 12-year-old child, who has autism, is distressed over Trump and “smashes her hand on the table” because she believes he forced the family out of the United States.
