I\u2019m not sure what happened to Rosanne Barr in the years between the end of her original self-titled ABC television sitcom series and the reboot that emerged to such praise, but apparently, feigning an embrace of the Trump crowd has gone to her head.<\/p>\n
In a series of tweets that began on Monday night, the comedienne began addressing Chelsea Clinton, moved on to George Soros, the 88 year old investor and far left donor, then she landed with a splat in a tweet that attacked former adviser for the Barack Obama White House, Valerie Jarrett.<\/a><\/p>\n In the tweet, the ABC star attacked Jarett, who was born in Iran, as\u00a0a\u00a0child of the Islamist organization Muslim Brotherhood and the movie \u201cPlanet of the Apes.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cMuslim brotherhood & planet of the apes had a baby=vj,\u201d Barr wrote, using Jarrett\u2019s initials and responding to a tweet accusing the former Obama adviser of helping \u201chide\u201d misdeeds for the Obama administration.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Ok. Wow.<\/p>\n I\u2019m no fan of Barack Obama, Valerie Jarrett, or a single thing to ever come out of the horrendous Obama years, but there\u2019s no sense in being an idiot, and that\u2019s exactly what this was: idiotic.<\/p>\n The internet is a swift and thorough beast, and the backlash for her statement came immediately.<\/p>\n http:\/\/twitter.com\/therealroseanne\/status\/1001471669641216005<\/a><\/p>\n I don\u2019t know who has reached out to Barr since her initial statement, or since her apology, but the backlash has not been limited to simply the online community of anonymous or random Twitter users.<\/p>\n Wanda Sykes, a fellow comedienne, who also happens to be black, has served as a consulting producer on the first season of the revived comedy. Her reaction to the day\u2019s controversy was equally swift.<\/p>\n She will not be returning.<\/p>\n I will not be returning to @RoseanneOnABC<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u2014 Wanda Sykes (@iamwandasykes) May 29, 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
