Rosie O’Donnell has hit back at Donald Trump’s jibe at her during Monday’s debate in typically fierce style.
The comedian called the GOP presidential nominee an “orange anus” after he refused to roll back on the misogynistic and bullying comments he’s made about her over the past decade.
“Hillary is hitting me with tremendous commercials,” the former reality TV personality said toward the end of the televised debate with Democratic rival Hillary Clinton.
“Some of it said in entertainment, some of it said by somebody who’s been very vicious to me, Rosie O’Donnell,” he added. “I said very tough things to her and I think everybody would agree that she deserves it and nobody feels sorry for her.”
Trump has previously described O’Donnell “dumb,” “disgusting,” “a slob,” who has a “fat, ugly face.”
The TV personality responded to his latest outburst with this five-word tweet:
And just 15 minutes later, she branded Trump an “orange anus” in this equally blistering message:
Both tweets immediately went viral, with pop star Madonna saying she also had O’Donnell’s back in her war of words against the brash businessman.
The feud between Trump and O’Donnell dates back almost a decade, after she mimicked Trump when she was co-hosting on “The View.”
Many viewers said they were stunned that Trump should bring it up during the debate at all, highlighting that it was inappropriate and the sign of a “toxic, unreliable mind.”
Editor’s note: Donald Trump regularly incites political violence and is a serial liar, rampant xenophobe, racist, misogynist and birther who has repeatedly pledged to ban all Muslims — 1.6 billion members of an entire religion — from entering the U.S.
