Roseanne Posts Racist Tweet At President Obama Former Advisor!(Pics) JUST UPDATED!
UPDATE:
‘Roseanne’ has been cancelled.
The move comes just hours after Roseanne Barr made a comment on Twitter Tuesday morning referring to former Obama aide Valerie Jarrett as the offspring of the “Muslim Brotherhood & Planet of the Apes.”
“Roseanne’s Twitter statement is abhorrent, repugnant and inconsistent with our values, and we have decided to cancel her show,” ABC Entertainment president Channing Dungey said in a statement.
Roseanne was set to air 13-episode eleventh season this fall. Considering the show finished the season as the No. 1 scripted primetime television series in the 18-49 demo, many are surprised by the network’s swift decision to pull the show from air….but I’m SOOOOO glad they did!
See what she did to get canned below:
This story really makes you wonder what TF be wrong with people….I’m guessing a BIG, healthy dose of racism is the problem here! Comedian/actress Roseanne Barr attacked former Obama White House adviser Valerie Jarett late Monday night in a tweet alleging connections to the Muslim Brotherhood. In the tweet, the ABC star attacked Jarett, who was born in Iran, as a child of the Islamist organization Muslim Brotherhood and the movie “Planet of the Apes”:
=Vj are initials. Barr wrote this, using former Obama advisor Valerie Jarrett when she replied to a tweet which accused Jarrett of helping to cover up alleged misdeeds for the Obama administration.
When users pointed out that the tweet seemed racist, Barr replied, “Muslims r NOT a race.” Wow….
Valerie Jarrett, 61, was born in Iran. Both of her parents are African-American. Barr’s mention of Muslim Brotherhood refers to a Sunni Islamist organization headquartered in Egypt.
“Comparison by Rosanne Barr on ABC of Former Obama aide, Valerie Jarrett to an APE is racist and inexcusable,” wrote The Rev. Al Sharpton. “ABC must take action NOW!”
Barr was quickly condemned on social media for her tweets. Several people have tweeted at ABC, the network that airs “Roseanne” and asked how it continues to support her program:
“The comparison by Rosanne Barr on ABC of Former Obama aide, Valerie Jarrett to an APE is racist and inexcusable,” The Rev. Al Sharpton tweeted. “ABC must take action NOW!”
ROSEANNE is a racist and a sick woman! @ABCNetwork shame on you for bringing back her lame a– show! She’s a hideous and shameless person!!!! #boycottRoseanne,” Tweeted user @SIRGOLDIE17.
Reps for ABC has yet to comment, nor have reps for Miss Jarrett.
Rosanne is a Trump supporter. The tweets mark the latest controversies that Barr, 65, has created since the return of her show, which came back in March after over 20 years off the air. She shared a conspiracy theory on Twitter days after the season premiere that suggested Trump had freed hundreds of kids from sex trafficking rings.
“President Trump has freed so many children held in bondage to pimps all over this world. Hundreds each month,” she tweeted at the time. “He has broken up trafficking rings in high places everywhere. notice that. I disagree on some things, but give him benefit of doubt-4 now.”
Roseanne also claimed billionaire investor George Soros is “a nazi” during a social media racially charged tirade last night also. Rosanne also tried to come for Hilary and Bill Clinton’s daughter Chelsea and her husband when she also inaccurately tweeted overnight that Chelsea Clinton is married to one of Soros’ nephews. When Chelsea got her all the way together, telling her that was incorrect, Barr, 65 came back with her claim that Soros, who is known for his support of liberal causes, is a Nazi. BUT, Chelsea CHECKED HER with the quickness:
Soros, 87, was 9 years old when the Holocaust began….Go head Chelsea!
Today, Roseanne has deleted the tweets and apologized:
And said she’s leaving Twitter:
Good riddance but ALOT of people of all races are not having it or accepting her apology…they are called for ABC to “Shut It Down”:
And former Rosanne reboot guess star Wanda Sykes just posted she will NOT be returning to the show:
You remember ABC had no problem firing Isaiah Washington for inappropriate speech on and off the set of Greys Anatomy so there’s precedence. What’s good for goose is good for the gander right? We are all waiting to see what ABC does to and about Roseanne.
