She didn’t actually want to apologize again, Hannity kept prodding her into an apology that she didn’t want to give.
As she said, she’s apologized a zillion times already, and since she didn’t actually mean anything racist by what she said, she shouldn’t have to apologize at all. She had a political point to make, and she kept trying to make it, and Hannity kept interrupting her trying to get a “moment” out of it. She was more interesting than he was, when he let her.
And then he undercut her point by dredging up her past mental issues, implying that her criticism of VJ was related to her mental illness.
Hannity really doesn’t know when to just shut up and let his guest talk. Its something he has never learned.
I hate pro forma apologies anyway. If you said it, and you meant to say it, and they are going to reject your apology anyway, and you’re going to lose everything anyway, you may as go down with all flags flying.
If she had said something like, “I’m sorry I compared you to a talking monkey, ValJar. A better comparison would have been been to a constipated llama,” or something similar, everyone would have laughed it off and ABC would have looked ridiculous. She does have mental health issues, including severe depression. She once said, “now that I have pills to deal with it, I’ve discovered that it’s the only interesting thing about me.” She’s far from a conservative by any stretch. She supported Trump, who is also not an ideological conservative or liberal. But he defeated Hillary, so since they can’t get the goods on him and impeach him, they take it out on Roseanne. It’s unfortunate they canceled her show, which I was enjoying. I loved the old show, for that matter. But it’s just another casualty of CW II. It will get much, much worse.
“She didn’t actually want to apologize again, Hannity kept prodding her into an apology that she didn’t want to give.”
I got so pissed at Sanctimonious Sean during that interview that I finally turned off the TV.
So Roseanne didn’t know Obama’s other wife is black. Neither did I, and neither did anyone else I knew. And her life is ruined because oof it? I’ll bet Sean didn’t know, either. As far as many of us knew, VJ is middle eastern and not black.
Sean sickened me as he continued to goad her. She got a bad rap, and he sounded like a CNN whack-o fool.
