  "account": "Rosie O’Donnell is retracting her statement that her friend, country singer Wynonna Judd, is a supporter of President Donald Trump. In an Instagram post on Wednesday, O’Donnell admitted she had made an error in assuming Judd’s political views based solely on her performance for the former president. The apology came publicly after initially sharing it privately with Judd. \"I apologize here publicly (as I first made them privately),\" O’Donnell wrote. O’Donnell had introduced Judd to her audience in August when they appeared together on the podcast \"The Tangle.\" During the interview, O’Donnell expressed that she would find it difficult to have close friends who supported Trump, with the exception of Judd, whom she decided to \"give grace.\" O’Donnell noted that Judd has performed for all seven presidents, spanning both sides of the aisle. Judd remained silent on her political leanings for nearly two months before commenting on her Instagram story last week that she was surprised by O’Donnell's assumption about her support for Trump.",
