Rosie O’Donnell is set to headline a fundraiser to support Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign along with other supporters next week in New York City.
The former host of “The View” is set to join Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney, Jim Obergefell and Cynthia Nixon to support Clinton next Wednesday as she looks to sew up the Democratic nomination during contests in April. Eight states are set to decide on delegates throughout the month, including Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Maryland and New York, where Clinton served for eight years as a U.S. senator.
O’Donnell pushed news of the fundraiser on her social media accounts.
The news comes as Clinton looks to a general election matchup with Donald Trump, whom O’Donnell has engaged in a decade-long feud. It even cropped up at the first Republican debate when Fox News’ Megyn Kelly asked Trump about his past comments about women in which he called them “fat pigs” and “disgusting animals.” Trump responded that the remarks were directed at “only Rosie O’Donnell.”
In the past, Trump has taken issue with O’Donnell’s attacks on him for being a “snake-oil salesman” and not a “self-made man.” In return, Trump called her a “real loser,” adding that he planned to sue her and take “lots of money from my nice fat little Rosie.”
Trump has also gone after her for her history with “The View,” lampooning her whenever possible for low ratings and her leaving the show multiple times. In November, O’Donnell commented directly on Trump’s campaign, calling it a “nightmare.”
