After Melissa McCarthy hilariously portrayed White House press secretary Sean Spicer on Saturday Night Live, Rosie O’Donnell clearly felt inspired as she has taken to social media to express interest in playing another highly controversial figure working alongside President Donald Trump, Steve Bannon.
On Friday, Rosie O’Donnell changed her profile picture on Twitter to a photoshopped image of her face on Steve Bannon’s body, and the Internet was quick to take notice. The most disturbing part of the photo was how striking the resemblance was between the former talk show host and the White House chief strategist.

While there were many who were in favor of O’Donnell portraying the former Breitbart executive chairman on SNL, there were others on social media who did not like the idea at all. Thousands of Twitter users voiced their outrage and the responses were totally out of control.
Rosie O’Donnell so serious about playing Steve Bannon, she’s trying to lose 50 pounds to look more like him.

Rosie O’Donnell is a spellbound idiot who rejects the “official story” of 9/11. She doesn’t get to take down Steve Bannon.
