Roseanne Barr blames Michelle Obama for getting fired at ABC, calls Donald Trump a 'genius'
Yahooo Entertainment ^ | 3/11/2019 | Erin Donnelley

[…]Barr told the magazine of Obama’s alleged involvement. “That’s what I was told and I tend to believe it because the woman who fired me is now working with the Obamas at Netflix.”(snip)

Barr added that her tweet—which she concedes was a “very stupid thing” — was intended to be an attack on the Obama administration’s ties to Iran, which she sees as anti-Semitic. She also cited unsubstantiated claims that the Iran-born Jarrett may be Muslim.

“I should have written it backwards,” she said. “It came out dyslexic. It should have been, ‘Valerie Jarrett’s ties to the Muslim Brotherhood have now allowed Iran’s government to remain, as in the movie Planet of the Apes.”(snip)

She also accused ABC of taking issue with her support of Trump.

“They hate powerful women and they hate powerful, deplorable women and I do consider myself deplorable,” she said. “Deplorable is the greatest thing Hillary [Clinton] ever called us, because it empowered a revolution—we are deplorable to her kind. Of course, all working-class people are deplorable to her because it was working-class people that elected Trump.”

Speaking of the president, Barr had high praise for him — calling him a “genius” and a “real deep thinker.”

“Part of why I love Trump is that he took so many of my ideas,” she added when asked if she would consider another run for office.

She defended the president’s tweets, saying he is different from the “Trump puppet” that people see online.

“I’ve met him several times,” she said. “And don’t forget you can’t judge anyone for how they tweet on Twitter.”(snip)

Her actual firing, she claims, came at the behest of Michelle Obama.

According to Barr, the former first lady ordered then-president of ABC Entertainment Group Channing Dungey to send her packing for insulting Jarrett.

Roseanne plays a dowdy housewife----Michelle IS a dowdy housewife.

Roseanne looked gorgeous in a silk organza outfit---meeting her grateful fans on the night the new show debuted.

Reminds me of the old USSR -- Comrade Stalin delivers a speech and at various points, of course, the audience applauds. And no one wants to be the first to stop applauding because then the secret police will call you a traitor. So the applause goes on and on and on.

I imagine everyone in the entertainment business now walks on eggshells. You have to be very PC, but if you go too far Left, you become Brie Larson. If you hate Trump insufficiently, you become Roseanne.

Who wants to live in such gear?

I’m, still, wondering why Rosanne ran for POTUS in The Green Party?

FTA: "In the months since ABC canceled her show, Roseanne, last May, Roseanne Barr has put forth several explanations for her termination."

Nothing that she has said has been inconsistent. The media is purposely confusing the reasons she gave for making the tweet in the middle of the night and why she was immediately fired for it.

Unlike the lamestream media's kid gloves treatment of Hillary Clinton's "1,001 Reasons The Election Was Stolen From Me."

Because she was a far left wing liberal. As long as she stuck to attacking conservatives her career was safe. The instant she started attacking other liberals she became The Enemy.

"A conservative is a liberal who got mugged the night before."

VJ DOES look like a character from the planet of the apes.

How is that racist?

What ‘race’ do liberals think you’re referring to when you mention apes?

That's what always gets me. If anyone ever mentions an ape or a monkey, the Democrats IMMEDIATELY think it's a racial comment.

Says everything you need to know about the do-gooders. I have no idea why blacks don't see that.

Meanwhile, hating Jews is still 100% okay with the Obamas and the entire rest of the Demagogic Party.

Turn out VJ is half-black.

Roseanne didn’t know it, so she stepped into a booby trap.

Looks as though the young, newly elected dims, because they are so nuts, have given some who might be reluctant to praise President Trump, the backbone and strength to do just that.

Isn’t it wonderful. President’s supporters who are celebrities can come out of the shadows.

I’m lovin’ it.
