WASHINGTON, DC: Fox News contributor Kellyanne Conway directed sharp advice toward Rosie O’Donnell, who came out as a lesbian in 2002 following the actress's move to Ireland and her vocal opposition to President Trump’s second term. 

The exchange highlights the intensifying rhetoric between Trump administration officials and celebrity critics as the political landscape shifts toward the upcoming midterms.

While speaking to her audience on TikTok, Rosie O’Donnell expressed her concern over the current administration, specifically advocating for the use of a never-invoked constitutional provision. 

After relocating to Ireland following the 2024 election results, O’Donnell questioned the timeline for the president's potential ouster. “When are they gonna do the 25th Amendment?” O’Donnell asked. “That’s the question. He needs to be stopped.”

Kellyanne Conway, who appeared on Fox’s 'The Five' as guest host on Tuesday, argued that the Democratic Party is failing to evolve after their recent electoral losses. 

She stated, “They have absolutely nothing from the 2024 shellacking that they suffered, where Trump won the popular vote, all seven swing states,” she said. “If I were the Democratic Party, I would try to learn from that. I’d try to work with the president when I can on things.”

After O’Donnell referred to the president as a "blob," Conway fired back.

“Just one question I’ve never tried on Rosie O’Donnell on the left. Don’t you have anybody who loves you? You need a hug or a husband or a hairy dog. Get yourself some help, because this woman last week, she referred to Trump as a ‘blob.’ A slob calling someone else a blob,” Conway remarked.

Kellyanne Conway warns Democrats must move past Donald Trump

Conway concluded by suggesting that this level of obsession is a political liability that pushes away moderate voters and causes internal conflict. 

Reflecting on her own proximity to such intense opposition, potentially referencing her vocal critics at home, she warned that the Democratic Party is headed for another defeat if they do not change their focus.

She remarked, “By the way, she moved to Ireland, but she never moved on. And that’s the problem. I live with Trump derangement syndrome. It’s toxic, chaotic, and sometimes frightening. But I’ll tell you, a lot of Democrats don’t like it. They feel like they’re gonna get beat in 2028 if their only message is ‘Trump, Trump, Trump.’”
