Rosie O'Donnell, a longtime critic of former President Donald Trump, has reignited their public feud by spreading a conspiracy theory that questions the circumstances of a recent assassination attempt on Trump’s life. On July 13, 2024, during a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, Trump was targeted by a gunman, resulting in a bullet grazing his right ear. However, in a recent TikTok video, O'Donnell suggested that Trump’s injury might not have been caused by a bullet, but possibly by something else, further fueling speculation and conspiracy theories surrounding the incident.
O'Donnell's comments have sparked outrage among conservative circles. In her video, she questioned the official narrative, pointing to the fact that Trump was seen pumping his fist shortly after the attack—a reaction she found suspicious for someone who had just been shot. “I don’t think it was a bullet that hit him,” O'Donnell said, adding, “There’s something really hinky about the whole thing”.

Her remarks have been met with significant backlash. Critics argue that O'Donnell's theory is both baseless and irresponsible, particularly in light of the fact that the attack resulted in serious injuries to two bystanders and the death of a former fire chief.
The FBI has confirmed that Trump was indeed struck by a bullet, dismissing O'Donnell's claims as unfounded. Despite this, O'Donnell has continued to question the details, suggesting that the incident was somehow staged to make Trump appear more heroic.

This is not the first time O'Donnell has made controversial statements about Trump, whom she has sparred with publicly for years. Her latest comments have intensified the already existing tensions between the two, with many on social media and in conservative media calling her out for promoting misinformation.
The spread of conspiracy theories following the attempt on Trump's life has been a growing concern, with various narratives emerging from both sides of the political spectrum. Some conspiracy theorists have even suggested that the assassination attempt was a false flag operation. This has led to a surge in online speculation, much of which has been dismissed by experts and authorities as lacking any credible evidence.
O'Donnell's theory, however, seems to have struck a chord with her followers, many of whom have expressed support for her skepticism. Despite the criticism, O'Donnell remains unapologetic, continuing to challenge the official version of events and calling for a deeper investigation into the incident.
As the debate rages on, the incident serves as a reminder of the deep divisions and rampant misinformation that continue to plague political discourse in America. The assassination attempt itself, a shocking moment in recent history, is now being overshadowed by the proliferation of conspiracy theories, further complicating the public's understanding of what actually transpired on that fateful day in July.
