“I get it, but 86 people a day are killed in America with guns. And you know what? That is terrorism here,” said O’Donnell.
Attempting to introduce intellect and fact into the debate, co-host Nicolle Wallace responded to Rosie saying “I know that it’s important to you that mental health is always raised as a possible unaddressed cause. It’s also possible that he was an evil terrorist. Okay? So I don’t want that to get lost.”
“The Canadian government has classified this as a terrorist attack. The definition of terrorism is arbitrary violence and death rendered on innocent people who are just doing their job,” Wallace added.
But Rosie clearly just wanted to assign blame to everything but the obvious–islamic terrorism–and continued to make a fool of herself. “Uhhh,” Rosie responded. “I’m an American, I live here and I see two people shot this week in Canada and the entire country of Canada is in mourning. However, in America this happens on a daily basis and we don’t even pay attention anymore.”
Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper has already called the attack an act of terrorism and has now “vowed to strengthen the nation’s terror laws one day after a gunman rampaged through parliament,” BBC reports.That’s likely because another soldier was killed in a hit-and-run in the province of Quebec.
The two attacks are linked. And Rosie would see that as fact if her head wasn’t shoved so far up her butt.
