Rosie O'Donnell, a liberal comedian and longtime foe of President Trump, went on a rant against Trump on Tuesday night outside the White House just a couple hours before his address to a joint session of Congress.
O'Donnell opened her speech by quoting the beginning of the Declaration of Independence, declaring that she wanted to "institute new government" because of her perceived oppression from the Trump administration.
"This is not Russia," O'Donnell said, taking a jab at the alleged contact between the Trump campaign and Russian intelligence.
O'Donnell then took a jab at the mainstream media, insisting that if they don't do their job in holding Trump accountable, then she and other activists will.
"The internet rules! All media is universal! The truth matters even if our major media companies will not call him a liar. We will. He lies. He lies. He lies. He lies," O'Donnell said.
"It is about time they all started saying that, instead of 'it appears as if he hasn't been speaking the truth,' cut it down to the least common denominator like he does," she added.
Near the end of the clip, O'Donnell also drew attention to "a very handsome conservative man" asking her whether George Soros, a liberal billionaire, had paid her to attend the anti-Trump rally.
"And I said, 'Sir, I have never met George Soros, but he sounds like a lovely man. One day I’d like to share a souvlaki with him,'" O'Donnell said.
O'Donnell concluded her speech by calling for "no more making war on other people’s countries."
"It's a shitty idea," O'Donnell concluded.
Following the rally, O'Donnell told a reporter that Trump and his administration will go down for treason.

Elana Schor of Politico noted that there were only dozens of protesters in attendance -- while organizers had expected "thousands."
