Roseanne can now take over Sarah Sanders' job. Never a dull moment at press briefings again.

He’ll probably tweet that the way she was fired was UNFAIR! And call it a witch hunt and then note
she is a very fine person.


He'll probably make her director of African American outreach for the White House.

Her parents were African American. John McCain was born in Panama. We don't consider him a Panamanian. Ted Cruz was born in Canada. We don't consider him to be a Canadian (a fact for which I am sure Canadians are thankful).



Ted Cruz actually was Canadian. He gave his citizenship up in 2014.

Roseanne is clearly a typical trump supporter as verified by some of the stupid comments comparing her calling an African American an ape to someone making fun of the Huckabee-Saunders eye make up.

Do you people crying "hypocrisy" even see how racist you are?

America is growing tired of the double standard.


+1

Her show is not that good. This is a terrible joke. But the double standard here is astounding. We either let the likes of Bill Mahar to speak outrageous things freely or we clean it up for everyone — no more Michelle Wolfe or SNL.


“Outrageous things” are different than racist slurs. Referring to an African American woman as an ape is in an entirely different stratosphere than making fun of Sarah Sanders’ smoky eye makeup.

That you and others are conflating barbed comments with slurs speaks volumes about how ignorant you and others are about racism and bigotry - or how completely desensitized you are to it. Or both.


I agree.

I think it’s great ABC canceled her show. She is entitled to free speech but has to face the consequences.


I was wondering this too. Plus Chelsea Clinton was married in 2010--hardly a current event.

Do not agree with Roseanne at all but they all knew who they were working for.


True. Lie down with a dog and you get up with fleas. Good riddance Roseanne.

Making fun of someone for their eye makeup is a wee bit different than calling someone an ape.



SEAN HANNITY

“Fox News host Sean Hannity slammed comedian Roseanne Barr for her racist tweet about former Obama-era White House adviser Valerie Jarrett on Tuesday.

Hannity said Barr's remarks comparing Jarrett to an ape were "outrageous" and that she was right to apologize.”
