After Melissa McCarthy’s portrayal of White House press secretary Sean Spicer, Rosie O’Donnell is looking to get in on the fun.
O’Donnell, who has not been shy of her disdain for President Trump, says she’s “available” to take on one of the Trump administration’s most controversial figures: Steve Bannon.
Someone suggested @Rosie play Bannon on #SNL & I am here for it!

In a tweet, O’Donnell said she would be willing to portray Trump’s senior adviser, “if called.”

The comedian offered her praise of McCarthy’s portrayal of Spicer after last week’s “Saturday Night Live’,” calling her a “COMEDY GOD.”
O’Donnell’s high-profile feud with Trump goes back to 2006 when she criticized his handling of the Miss USA Pageant after Trump did not fire then-Miss USA Tara Conner after revelations about drug and underage alcohol use.
O’Donnell has also repeatedly hit Trump over his multiple marriages and argued he was not a self-made man.
Trump in response has called her a “real loser,” “dumb” and mocked her weight.
I feel sorry for Rosie ‘s new partner in love whose parents are devastated at the thought of their daughter being with @Rosie–a true loser.

The long-running spat resurfaced during the Republican primary debates when moderator Megyn Kelly of Fox News famously asked Trump about calling women “fat pigs,” which he had said about O’Donnell.
