ABC was looking for a reason to ax ‘Roseanne,’ Herman Cain says
Fox Business ^ | 5/29/18 | Fox Business

Posted on 05/29/2018 12:53:37 PM PDT by conservative98

Cain said ABC executives likely didn’t expect the show, or its support for President Donald Trump, to be so popular and needed to find a reason to get rid of it.

“I understand them using this as an excuse,” he said. “Yes, it was racist. Yes, it was distasteful. And she vehemently apologized.”

A liberal might notice that “999” upside down is “666.” /S

Fox is Disney now.

Fox should pick it up, get rid of the tranny-fag kid, and own the ratings.

Give her a tweet show where she just read liberal tweets and responds..that would be must-see TV right there.

Of course they were looking for any reason to axe their top rated show, when it wasn’t advancing the progressive, anti-American cause. This is actually the second time, the first being with “Last Man Standing.”

Killing their top rated show twice because it’s not politically correct. If I were a stock holder, I’d be very angry, since this demonstrates an allegiance to an ideology, rather than the good of the company and stockholders.

Liberals : Colin Kaepernick’s freedom of speech is protected and he MUST be hired!

Liberals : Roseanne Barr’s freedom of speech is racist and she MUST be fired!

Nope. No hypocrisy here.

If Roseanne Barr had said the exact same thing about Ben Carson or Clarence Thomas that she said about Valerie Jarrett, not only would her show still be on the air, it would have been renewed for another two seasons already — and every “woke” “progressive” would be fervently defending her. No question about it.

ABC had a real problem. Going into November with Rosanne as the #1 rated show as the 2018 mid terms approached was something which could not be allowed.

And she foolishly gave it to them

Attack their positions and their policies not the person.

While liberals can get away with mocking people on their looks and name, Conservatives can't. (I know it's not fair).

Know their traps. Don't fall into them.

Maybe rosanne was looking for an out as well.

TV production schedules are murderous and she ain’t no spring chicken anymore.

Just a thought.

Meanwhile, the Super Idiot, bosom buddy of Obama, can call for the elimination of the white race, and it doesn’t cause a ripple in the media.

That’s what I keep thinking! & VJ could’ve been anyone unless she referenced her before the tweet..
Sleestack would’ve been a better choice of words but I’m sure they would’ve considered that racist as well
Maybe Joy Reid hacked her Twitter account.

In one of the tweets, Barr wrote, “Muslim Brotherhood & planet of the apes had a baby=vj,” referring to Valerie Jarrett, a former senior adviser to President Barack Obama
