The New York Post reports that Rosie O’Donnell, the former actress and talk show host who’s now best known for erratic behavior, has been breaking the law. It seems that she’s given a total of $5,400 over the legal limit to five different Democratic congressional candidates. Federal Election Commission rules prohibit giving more than $2,700 to a candidate in a given election cycle.
O’Donnell says she assumed the online donation tools she used would keep her from exceeding the legal limits. Her other defense is Trump. “My anxiety is quelled by donating to those opposing Trump [and] his agenda—especially at night—when most of these were placed,” she told the Post. For someone innocently pursuing political-donation therapy, however, O’Donnell seems to have been shifty about it. She “used five different New York addresses and four variations of her name” to make these nocturnal donations, according to the Post.
