Roseanne Barr lost her career because of a bad joke that people took
the wrong way. Unfortunately, that seems to be how it works in 2018
thanks to the PC police and Twitter mobs.
On Thursday, Roseanne sat down with Sean Hannity and explained how the
joke basically took away everything she had. She also apologized to
Valerie Jarrett.
From Breitbart:
“It cost me everything,” Barr said. “I wish I worded it
better.”
Hannity repeatedly urged Barr to apologize to Jarrett on
air. The comedian eventually did, saying that she was sorry
for the poorly worded tweet. She said she would tell Jarrett,
“I’m sorry that you feel harm and hurt, I never meant that.
I never meant to hurt anybody.”
She repeated her assertion that she did not know Jarrett was
black when she likened Jarrett to a cross between the Muslim
Brotherhood and a “Planet of the Apes” actor.
Barr repeatedly said Thursday that her tweet was meant to
address U.S.-Middle Eastern policy and had no racial overtones.
She said she was stunned by the negative reaction to the tweet,
which Hannity noted was nearly universal.

It’s completely feasible that Barr didn’t know Valerie was black. It’s
hard to believe that Roseanne has been a racist all these years and
never been called out for it or fired from a job.
But, it doesn’t really matter what the truth is in situations like
this.
Perception is reality and the reactionary mobs out there have made
their decision.
Will Roseanne be back on TV someday? Maybe. It sounds like she is
getting offers.
We’ll just have to wait and see. She’s one of the most talented comedic
minds of the last few decades. No doubt about that.

Dems & the media want Trump to be more like Obama, but then he'd
have to audit liberals & wire tap reporters' phones.

Nope. She lost her job because she's a racist moron.

I keep defending the tweet in question as indeed probably misunderstood.

But her choice of soapbox makes that less palatable...

Sure Barr isn't a racist! So long as you ignore the REST of what she's
