Rosie O’Donnell Apologizes to Melania Trump: ‘I Was Insensitive’

Rosie O’Donnell is apologizing to Melania Trump for Tweeting out a YouTube video suggesting Barron Trump might be autistic. “I was insensitive in my RT- i am sorry for the pain i caused,” she says.

The apology comes after Melania hired lawyer Charles Harder to write a letter to the original YouTube poster demanding that he take the video down and threatening a lawsuit. O’Donnell was mentioned in the letter, though he didn’t threaten to sue her.

O’Donnell has made her Twitter account private, but see the tweet above, via screen grab.
