Roseanne Barr attacks former Obama adviser in racially-charged tweet
Source: The Hill
"Roseanne" star Roseanne Barr attacked former Obama White House adviser Valerie Jarett in a tweet Tuesday morning alleging connections to the Muslim Brotherhood that many Twitter users called racist.
In a tweet, the ABC star attacked Jarett, who was born in Iran, as child of the Islamist organization and the movie "Planet of the Apes."
"muslim brotherhood & planet of the apes had a baby=vj," she wrote, using Jarrett's initials and responding to a tweet accusing the former Obama adviser of helping "hide" misdeeds for the Obama administration.

Other tweets from Barr's account early Tuesday attacked billionaire liberal donor George Soros and Chelsea Clinton, whom the comedian linked to a right-wing conspiracy accusing Soros of trying to "overthrow of us constitutional republic."

I never ever found her to be funny

(1,770 posts)doesn't want her show to continue. Granted I doubt ABC will drop her revival. As much as I moderately enjoyed the revival, since she's going to continue with her crap, I can live without seeing season 11.

(1,770 posts)Not sure why the rest of the cast jumped on board. I guess for a semi-steady paycheck. I should think Metcalf, Goodman and even Gilbert are going to be taken aback by this, but will stay out of some misguided loyalty.

(90,099 posts)It was only Roseanne who wasn't getting a paycheck.
Which is another reason they should have turned it down.

(35,340 posts)owes her for starting her career, but that show ended years ago & Gilbert found success on her own. How she can work with a woman who wholeheartedly supports a man and a party who would love to see Gilbert's family ripped apart is beyond me.

(2,534 posts)But she sure does a good job of representing Trump supporters.
added to the poster children of mentally, potty-mouthed trumpistas riding the wave of deficients comprising whats now billed as critical thinking. Oh, how the once mighty saner people of America have fallen to the utter depths of blissful ignorance and hate.

(4,429 posts)they had an opportunity to get back in the limelight. She's ruining it for them.

(1,770 posts)It's might be too early, but hey, if it kills her show before season 11 airs, so much the better.

(7,287 posts)She then continued, "By the way, George Soros is a nazi who turned in his fellow Jews 2 be murdered in German concentration camps & stole their wealth-were you aware of that? But, we all make mistakes, right Chelsea?" This conspiracy theory about Soros has been debunked many times. The fact-checking site Snopes called it "false" back in 2016.
Yeah...well the TRUTH matters not to her and Trumps followers. Bet the Clinton run kiddie porn pizza joint is still their favorite topic.

(4,814 posts)Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, is the founder and former head of the English Defense League, a white supremacy group in the UK. He was just sent to the slammer for 13 months, for contempt of court, for trying to video capture the defendants in a sexual abuse-grooming trial going on right now. (Many of them are Muslims, thus his interest.) He had gotten arrested for this before: it's illegal to take photos of defendants at the court whilst they're being tried. His prior sentence was suspended, so the judge whacked him with contempt for doing it again.

(7,287 posts)Yup,the McCain comment was all a big JOKE too---once the SHIT hit the fan over it. Watch for lots of ASS covering by Barr and ABC in mass today.

(7,888 posts)even a decent human being. Let's call the show's sponsors and let them know we will boycott their products if they allow her show to continue. (I will not tell them it is not a show I have ever, like in never, watched.)
Cancel this show ABC executives, please, for the sake of your network.

Roseanne Barr accomplishments:
- Saying a prominent black woman looks like an ape.
- Suggesting Chelsea Clinton is related to Nazis.
- Referring to Nancy Pelosi as a reptile.
- Pushing the Clinton sex trafficking and pedophilia ring conspiracy theory.
Great Disney rep.
