Rosie O’Donnell was caught ranting in a bar in Northern Ireland about Jimmy Kimmel’s suspension from his late-night show on ABC, eyewitnesses told The Post.
The one-time co-host of ABC’s left-wing chat show The View unleashed another unhinged tirade against her longtime nemesis President Trump at the Old Commercial Bar and Lounge near the Northern Irish town of Downpatrick on Thursday, according to multiple sources.
“Now Trump gets to decide who tells late-night jokes,” she griped during a 20-minute drinking session at the pub, which is nicknamed by locals as “Mannie’s” after the 158-year-old tavern’s original owner, according to sources.
O’Donnell had earlier posted a string of anti-Trump messages on her Instagram profile, with one deranged post reading: “f— this fascist administration and corrupt corporate executives. Bowing to the orange monster – America is no more.”
Landlord Barry Gilliland said he had served the comedian during what one of The Post’s moles called “a friendly exchange” as she necked glasses of Smithwick’s Red Ale, a popular Irish beer, with fellow American tourists.
Here’s the latest on Jimmy Kimmel’s suspension after Charlie Kirk comments
“I don’t recall her saying that,” he replied, asked by The Post about her Trump-bashing remarks. “At least I didn’t hear her anyway.”
Reps for O’Donnell didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment.
Northern Ireland is part of the United Kingdom, but O’Donnell left this country to move to a sleepy Dublin suburb after the real estate mogul’s second presidential inauguration earlier this year, insisting in a March interview that “fascism has taken a foothold in the United States.”
The staunch Democrat admitted to the New York Times the following month that her bid to obtain Irish citizenship through her grandparents had not yet been approved by immigration officials.
Her comments came after ratings-challenged Kimmel was “suspended indefinitely” when he used his Monday ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ show to accuse Trump’s MAGA allies of exploiting Charlie Kirk’s assassination “to score political points.”
O’Donnell and President Trump have been feuding for the best part of two decades after she lashed out at the then-Miss Universe owner during a fiery 2006 appearance on The View.
She branded Trump a “snake-oil salesman” because he refused to fire Miss USA Tara Conner amid allegations of drinking underage, using cocaine, and kissing Miss Teen USA Katie Blair at a New York nightclub.
O’Donnell claimed last month that she skipped her daughter’s college graduation due to her recent spats with the president, who has threatened to strip her of her US citizenship despite it being legally impossible for him to do so.
The 14th Amendment of the United States Constitution grants citizenship to anyone born on US soil, and O’Donnell was born in Commack, New York.
