Here is a list of people who have come to Roseanne Barr's defense

Roseanne Barr's racist tweet about Obama administration official Valerie Jarrett cost her an ABC show and the support of most of her fellow Trump supporters in the media.

But not everyone turned their back on the beleaguered comedian after her self-inflicted public relations nightmare (although Barr blames sleeping pills). Several conservative figures stepped forward to defend Barr after she was fired, decrying a hypocritical Hollywood culture and censorship in the name of an overzealous political correctness.

When the news broke that the Roseanne reboot had been canceled, Republican strategist Noelle Nikpour said on the Fox News show Outnumbered Overtime, "We live in a politically correct world right now."

"It's not about political correctness, it's racism," responded Fox News' Jessica Tarlov.

Nikpour said that Barr's tweet was "ugly" and "not nice" but she said, "let's just leave it at that" and resisted Tarlov's cry to label the tweet racist.
