What 'Roseanne' better worry about (CNN losing their minds over Roseanne's ratings - Winning!)

(CNN) — Donald Trump was so overjoyed about the high ratings for the premier episode of ABC's reboot of "Roseanne" that he praised the show and its star, Roseanne Barr, twice in the 48 hours after it aired.

First, on Wednesday, he called Barr, who was a vocal Trump supporter in 2016, to share his congratulations. And then, at a rally in Ohio Thursday, Trump again paused to praise the show, telling the audience its high ratings were because the show was "about us." (He did not attribute that success to the anti-Trump character who is also featured prominently.)

The lovefest between Barr and Trump should surprise no one. After all, Trump and Barr have much in common when it comes to spewing bigotry and intolerance. What is surprising is the apparent blind eye turned by the people who have brought us this "rebooted" Roseanne -- a decision that ABC may regret.

To begin: Barr has repeatedly shared inflammatory views about Muslims. One of her retweets equated Islam with Nazism, saying both want "world domination" and the "destruction of all Jews," according to an account last year in the Daily Beast. (Some of the tweets have since been deleted, but screengrabs can be found on several news sites.) Barr has also tweeted about what she calls "Islamic rape pedo culture," and retweeted memes that gin up fear of Muslims.

Like Trump, Barr has also used Twitter to viciously go after those she perceives as enemies, even if the allegations aren't true. For example, Barr tweeted in 2016 that then-Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin, who is Muslim and at the time was married to Anthony Weiner, was a "Jew hater," adding, "hillary clinton's handler huma weiner is a filthy nazi whore."

So you’re proud of him too?

LOL — Go to post 40; look at what you had written and then look SPECIFICALLY to what my response was directed. Try to use your analytical abilities and try not to read things in that are not there.

CNN is jealous of Roseanne. You would think they’d get a clue as to why their network continues to fail.

Seriously, HA, you didn't watch the entire scene. The mother got the kid to admit that he threatened a kid with the knife. You only heard what you wanted to hear.

Watch it again. Bottom line, the entire show was anti-traditional values. Selling babies, cross dressing, voting for Hillary, Roseanne threatened all the little kids at school that she is a white witch and they better accept her disturbed grandson or else.

It was all sick and showed the contempt the elites have for gullible flyover country. I am embarrassed for our moral decline.

The Left will attack Roseanne advertisers mercilessly until on by one they pull sponsorship of the show. The Right will shrug their shoulders, "What can we do?"

Well, let the lines be drawn, those businesses that support the left, and those that don't. Let's see just who will prosper.
