Rosie O’Donnell Channels Beyoncé in Trump Feud’s Latest Volley
Donald Trump was supposed to be indulging in a mini-break from the grueling campaign trail by attending the annual Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation Dinner Oct. 20 for an evening of lighthearted jokes alongside his opponent Hillary Clinton. But he managed to offend some by going too hard at Clinton and got booed for the effort. And he didn’t stop there.
Trump went on to pull his old nemesis Rosie O’Donnell into the mix by referring to her on his way to a Clinton dis, saying: “I called Hillary a nasty woman. But this stuff is all relative. After listening to Hillary rattle on, and on, and on, I don’t think so badly of Rosie O’Donnell. In fact, I’m actually starting to like Rosie a lot.”

Well, with one tweet O’Donnell made it clear that the feeling was not mutual. In a clear reference to Beyoncé’s “Sorry,” she wrote “Middle Fingers Up!!!!” with a picture of Trump’s face and the words “boy, bye” written over it.

Let’s hope O’Donnell doesn’t also have a bat named Hot Sauce.
