The current buzz about Rosie O’Donnell’s Twitter feed (yes, really) is mostly centered on the fact that President Trump revived one of her old tweets to throw some unabashedly petty shade at James Comey, the FBI Director he abruptly — and with confused reasoning — fired on Tuesday.
We finally agree on something Rosie. https://t.co/BSP5F3PgbZ

Yet before the president decided to do some Thursday afternoon subtweeting, O’Donnell posted a picture of herself backstage at the Broadway production of Paula Vogel’s “Indecent” with some pretty remarkable company: Oprah.

The two television queens posed for a photo after the show with the cast; Oprah was also spotted outside the theater with “Indecent” producer Daryl Roth.

Page Six reports Oprah was seen “dabbing back tears” during the performance. If that’s true — it is, after all, Page Six — we’d say the “Indecent” crew doesn’t need to give another thought to the results of next month’s Tony Awards. They’ve already gotten the greatest endorsement of all.
This is a moment of great uncertainty. Here’s what you can do about it.
We hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, we’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s independent Jewish news this Passover. All donations are being matched by the Forward Board - up to $100,000.
This is a moment of great uncertainty for the news media, for the Jewish people, and for our sacred democracy. It is a time of confusion and declining trust in public institutions. An era in which we need humans to report facts, conduct investigations that hold power to account, tell stories that matter and share honest discourse on all that divides us.
With no paywall or subscriptions, the Forward is entirely supported by readers like you. Every dollar you give this Passover is invested in the future of the Forward — and telling the American Jewish story fully and fairly.
The Forward doesn’t rely on funding from institutions like governments or your local Jewish federation. There are thousands of readers like you who give us $18 or $36 or $100 each month or year.
Support our mission to tell the Jewish story fully and fairly.
