"The View" co-host Rosie O'Donnell is drawing criticism online for remarks about Wednesday's deadly shooting in Ottawa.
Thursday's episode of the chat show kicked off with the panellists discussing the attack on Parliament Hill and the killing of Cpl. Nathan Cirillo of Hamilton as he stood guard at the National War Memorial.
The Ottawa shootings came just two days after two Canadian soldiers were run over — one of them fatally — in Quebec by a man with jihadist sympathies.
As "The View" panellists discussed whether Wednesday's shootings were an act of terrorism, O'Donnell said "most of these shooters have severe mental illness" and then expressed support for a controversial tweet about the shooting from model Chrissy Teigen, who used the tragedy in Ottawa to make a point about U.S. gun control.
On Wednesday, Teigen tweeted: "active shooting in Canada, or as we call it in america, wednesday." She then clarified in a follow-up tweet: "Sorry you don't understand that is a knock at America and our issues with gun control. No one is minimizing the Ottawa shooting."
"I thought it was brilliant and on-point, but some people thought it was insensitive," O'Donnell said of Teigen's tweet.
"Timing is everything," responded ABC News anchor Amy Robach, who was on the panel. "And I think when you tweet something like that in the middle of an active shooting, people are afraid, people are running for their lives and a man is dead."(continued)

Wow, this is ignorant. The gun did it again,
It proves what kind of character the ABC executives have to
put someone like Rosie in that powerful position. Not much.
The Liberals again cannot face real culprit but attack the soft target , gun
control..
“I thought it was brilliant and on-point,”
Which is a sure bet it wasn’t, Rosie.
What an idiot.
Fat pig needs to disarm herself and her security entourage as a show of sincerity first.
Rosie who?
Here Rosie, hold this spoon...
We don’t have a gun control problem. We have a Mohammadan control problem.
Old dumb lesbians on crap TV. Her opinion is about as valuable as Obola’s.
The timing for that tweet was horrible. She made it worse by pouring more wordage on top of everything. Should have let it go for a few days, then run back to protect her reputation, not that most people even know who she is. This show has about seen it’s good times and needs to close down production. That new member, the (not so wise) Latina, Rosie Perez is hard to take in close ups, and looks harsh. Nicole Wallace looks and acts as though she’s invisible on that show, so intimidated by the Mean Girls, so shamed into conservative silence.
Based on the title I thought she was going to blame Bush.....
I mean everything according to this fat lesbian sow is Bushes fault in some way or fashion....
I will listen to what this pig has to say when she disarms her security detail....
Looks like the old Rosie is back as the pro Second Amendment talk show host she ran with a few years back had no impact.
Hey Rosie, what about Muslims with hatchets and swords?
All of them want your fat @ss dead....by any means possible.
There must be a certain punchline here about pigs and Muslims.
Wow. I believe this is the first time I have read that a comment by a liberal is called “controversial.”
I wonder what O’Dumbell thinks about the jihadi with the hatchet and the guns that stopped him.
In this case, the mental illness is Islam.
Yeah, they're Muslim.
