President Trump on Thursday cited an unusual ally to defend his decision to abruptly fire FBI Director James Comey: his longtime celebrity nemesis Rosie O’Donnell.
“We finally agree on something Rosie,” the president tweeted, linking to an all-caps “FIRE COMEY” tweet the actress and former talk show host posted last December.

O’Donnell had been reacting to further revelations about the FBI director’s surprise October message to Congress about the discovery of new emails that might be linked to the investigation of Hillary Clinton’s email server.
