Is Rosie Readying Her Steve Bannon Impression for SNL?
The out icon changes her Twitter avatar to a Bannon-esque picture, fueling rumors about a guest appearance on the sketch show.
Ever since Melissa McCarthy reportedly angered Donald Trump by playing his hot-tempered press secretary on Saturday Night Live, the public has clamored for more female celebs to portray his scary team.
Leaks from the White House indicated Trump was upset that a woman played one of his male staffers -- not surprising considering our president's history of misogyny. After those leaks became news, the internet had a field day imagining the cross-dressing options. Many suggested longtime Trump nemesis Rosie O'Donnell portray maligned presidential adviser Steve Bannon, who rose to national prominence as the head of the racist, homophobic, Islamophobic website Breitbart.
While O'Donnell's rep denied that she is heading over to 30 Rock to play Bannon, the out comedian and actress teased the rumors by recently changing her Twitter avatar to an image of her face superimposed over Bannon's. Currently, Bannon is portrayed on SNL as a demon with black attire, a skull face, and a foreboding voice that orders Trump around.
