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."

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.

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.

It was only Roseanne who wasn't getting a paycheck.

Which is another reason they should have turned it down.

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.

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.

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.

'he has tried to report on rape gangs being protected in UK. He was just arrested-which is a death sentence-please get involved! it's sick pedo shit!'

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.
