Roseanne Barr has been flooding the country with angry tweets. Her racist tweets got her ABC hit show Roseanne cancelled, and jobs of all those who worked on it taken away, with just one – the worst of her worst tweets. Now, the comedian has started making sounds that she wants to get the show named after her back, but can she?
In her most recent tweets, Barr said:
‘You guys make me feel like fighting back. I will examine all of my options carefully and get back to U.’
Barr blamed the drug Ambien for her ugly tweet, although the drug maker released the obvious statement that the drug does not cause racism. Then there was this Roseanne excuse:
‘I wrote about 12000, 000 (sic) jokes-most are good. Like every other comic, some r bad-but, bad jokes do not define a comedian’s life.’
One of her more remarkable tweets followed:
‘I’m not a racist, I never was & I never will be. One stupid joke in a lifetime of fighting 4 civil rights 4 all minorities, against networks, studios, at the expense of my nervous system/family/wealth will NEVER b taken from me.’
After that first horrendous, racist tweet about President Barack Obama’s former top adviser, Valerie Jarrett, the star appeared to back off. She even said that she would quit Twitter. She lied.
Barr has been a big Trump supporter. When, the president finally made a remark about the situation, he did not even mention racism, but then again, his goal has been to divide.
White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders relayed his comment:
‘Where was Bob Iger’s apology to the White House staff for Jemele Hill calling the president and anyone associated with him a white supremacist?’
Barr continued tweeting:
‘I mistakenly thought she was white. (And) IÂ thought she was saudi (sic). (And)Â I’m not a racist, I never was & I never will be.(Plus)Â I am tired of being smeared-over a stupid mistake erasing 30 yrs of activism.’
