After Rosie very publicly tried to bribe senators to vote the way she wanted on the tax bill (which didn’t matter because it still passed), many people in social media questioned whether or not she had actually broken the law.
Honestly, we haven’t seen Rosie get this much coverage since she attacked Barron Trump on Twitter.
Oops! Rosie O’Donnell may have broken the law when she tweeted an offer to pay two GOP Senators $2 million to oppose the tax bill https://t.co/AzOs6OSyN9 pic.twitter.com/PeIOn7jCGc

Now, some are arguing that Rosie was just joking and that it was satire …
She's a comedienne. Satire.

Forget that she misspelled Collins’ name, but to use her family photo in this way and offer her money at the same time? If that’s a joke it’s no wonder no one is paying Rosie for comedy these days.
Besides, Rosie basically said she wasn’t kidding.

You know it’s bad when Louise Mensch of all people is telling you that you’ve gone too far.
Heh.
So of COURSE Tom Arnold was drawn to the crazy and decided to defend Rosie and attack the NRA all at once.
I forgive @Rosie she didn’t realize she was supposed to funnel her $$$ through @NRA to Congress like Russians do. https://t.co/bfp2ChcDh7

Yes.
Make this about the NRA, Tom, that’s such an unexpected angle from a progressive green penis such as yourself.
I don’t think that defense will hold up in court. Rosie should really consider lawyering up at this point. 15 years is a long time. The first post might have been dismissible as rhetoric, but the following it up with reinforcing posts is pretty damning.

But Truuuuuump! The NRA!
You misspelled labor unions and Planned Parenthood https://t.co/hcxlmcTkVW

There are literally hundreds of political action committees she can choose from to do it legally.
