Rosie O'Donnell has openly called on the Obama White House to declare “martial law” in order to stop Donald Trump from being sworn in as the country’s lawfully elected President --- until he has been " 'cleared' of all charges" (????)
So far, only right-wing media is reporting on this meltdown by the corpulent darling of the left-wing entertainment and media elites
Let's see who on "the left" salutes now that Rosie has run her idea of making the U.S.A. into a banana republic up the flagpole..... So far, there has not been a peep of censure or even a word of criticism for Rosie O'Donnell's latest reckless suggestion.
In fact, so far this news item about Ms. O'Donnell's modest proposal to overturn the result of the 2016 election is only being reported upon by right-leaning media outlets.....

UPDATE: THE "VERY MOUTHY CONGRESSMAN JOHN LEWIS" EDITION
WHY AREN'T ALL REPUBLICANS UP IN ARMS ???
CONGRESSMAN JOHN LEWIS' RECENT REMARKS ABOUT THE "LEGITIMACY" OF THE ELECTION AND PRESIDENCY OF DONALD TRUMP ARE SEDITIOUS UTTERANCES --- LEWIS MUST BE MADE TO APPOLOGIZE OR ELSE BE CENSURED BY THE CONGRESS
EVEN CNN'S ANDERSON COOPER SAID THAT LEWIS' REMARKS ARE NOT HELPFUL IN ANY WAY
According to a recent report in Real Clear Politics, "CNN's Anderson Cooper host[ed] a panel that reacted to Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.) calling President Trump "illegitimate." Cooper said Lewis "doesn't want to accept the results of the election" and that if Republicans said the same thing about a President Hillary Clinton, Democrats would be ‘up in arms.’… ‘I get he doesn't like Donald Trump, I get that he doesn't want to accept the results of the election,’ Cooper said Friday night. "But is this helpful in any way to have Congressman Lewis, who is obviously a highly respected figure for his civil rights record? I mean if a Republican said this about a President-elect Hillary Clinton Democrats would be up in arms.’…" (See “Anderson Cooper: If Republicans Said Clinton Was Not Legitimate, ‘Democrats Would Be Up In Arms’ " by Ian Schwartz, 1/13/17, Real Clear Politics [http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2017/01/13/anderson_cooper_if_republicans_said_clinton_was_not_legitimate_democrats_would_be_up_in_arms.html]).
Many right-leaning media outlets are repeating the congressman's remarks days after the remarks were made --- no doubt, to stir up the faithful.
Who am I not to follow suit.......
Gail, after the usual compliments about the John Lewis civil rights history, Reince Priebus said the Lewis remarks about the Trump presidency being illegitimate were 'irresponsible.'
UPDATE, BACKFILL & RESPONSE (SORT OF): THE “TRUMP DOUBLES-DOWN ON CONGRESSMAN JOHN LEWIS” EDITION
WITH A HEAD-NOD TO: “ANONYMOUS SAID AT 10:07AM” --- LETS PUT THE REINCE PRIEBUS STATEMENT ABOUT CONGRESSMAN LEWIS INTO A BROADER TRUMPIAN CONTEXT
OPENING THE WEEK BEFORE HIS INNAUGURATION WITH VERBAL HAYMAKERS AT ONE OF HIS LATEST ENEMIES --- TRUMP’S LATEST REACTION(S) TO CONGRESSMAN JOHN LEWIS’ IS/ARE IN LINE WITH TRUMP”S AGGRESSIVE VERBAL STYLE, WHICH HE EXHIBITED THROUGHOUT HIS CAMPAIGN FOR THE PRESIDENCY --- THAT STYLE MET WITH POLITICAL SUCCESS EVEN WHEN TRUMP WENT AFTER WIDELY RESPECTED AND SOMETIMES EVEN REVERED PUBLIC FIGURES --- TRUMP IS NOW SHOWING THAT HE IS EVEN WILLING TO GO AFTER SOMEBODY THAT HAS BEEN REFERRED TO AS “… AMONG THE MOST REVERED LEADERS OF THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT” AND SOMEONE WHO HAS “… DEVOTED HIS LIFE TO PROMOTING EQUAL RIGHTS FOR AFRICAN AMERICANS…”
According to a report out of Newsmax --- “Donald Trump's feud with civil rights icon John Lewis is highlighting the president-elect's willingness to attack any and all political rivals even with his inauguration less than a week away…. The Republican billionaire slammed the Democratic congressman — and his Atlanta-area district — on Saturday, a day after Lewis described Trump as an illegitimate president. Lewis, like a handful of Democratic lawmakers, vowed to skip Trump's Friday swearing-in ceremony…. Trump tweeted that Lewis ‘should spend more time on fixing and helping his district, which is in horrible shape and falling apart (not to mention crime infested) rather than falsely complaining about the election results.’… .The incoming president added: ‘All talk, talk, talk - no action or results. Sad!’… Trump continued to jab Lewis on Saturday night, charging that the congressman ‘should finally focus on the burning and crime infested inner-cities of the U.S.’…” (See “Trump Clashes With Civil Rights Leader as Inauguration Looms” by Newsmax Staff [from AP feed},1/15/17, Newsmax/ Home [http://www.newsmax.com/Headline/donald-trump-clashes-with-civil/2017/01/15/id/768626/]).
