Lesbian country music star shames debate audience for laughing at Trump’s insult of Rosie O’Donnell
Donald Trump making a joke at the expense of Rosie O’Donnell during last week’s Republican presidential debate was bad enough to country music singer Chely Wright.
But the worst part, Wright says in a new Facebook post, is the way the audience reacted to it.
‘The crowd went wild. They cheered and whooped and clapped and belly laughed – at Rosie’s expense. You saw it and I saw it. I felt a wave of nausea sweep over me and it has remained for days.
‘Nearly ALL 5,000 people allowed this man – who aspires to be the leader of OUR America – to publicly bully, mock, attack Rosie O’Donnell (again– he’s been doing it for a decade and it’s bothered me for as long), but they cheered him on as he did it.
Wright, who came out publicly as a lesbian in 2010, adds: ‘Shame on you, if you were in that audience and you cheered for this. Shame on you if you cheered and snickered at home. This is not a matter of the Left or the Right– this is a matter of basic decorum and decency. I saw very little of either in that moment.’
Trump’s poke at O’Donnell occurred when moderator Megyn Kelly asked him about his various insults aimed at women over the years.
‘You’ve called women you don’t like fat pigs, dogs, slobs and disgusting animals,’ Kelly began before being interrupted by Trump who said: ‘Only Rosie O’Donnell.’
Kelly replied: ‘No it wasn’t. For the record, it was well beyond Rosie O’Donnell.’
The audience laughed.
“For the record, it was well beyond Rosie O’Donnell,” Kelly responded before continuing her question.
O’Donnell, a mother of five, has not reacted to Trump’s remark except to tweet: ‘Try explaining that top your kids.’
