Two weeks prior to ABC’s removal of “Roseanne”, the network announced they were “dialing back” the star’s support for Trump in the following season.  The fact is:  ABC was embarrassed by the new found popularity of a previously dead show.  As in real life, blue-collar workers (those in the rust belt) helped Donald Trump win the presidency.  That’s what Roseanne’s character became.  ABC was just looking for a reason, ANY reason to cancel it.

Roseanne Barr’s tweet, a joke about Valerie Jarrett being a cross between the Muslim Brotherhood and “Planet of the Apes” has been misinterpreted.  Ms. Jarrett is not a natural-born U.S. citizen.  She was born in Iran; therefore, you cannot call her “African-American”, regardless of her parentage.

Barr meant her joke to be about Muslims, who are not a race.  How can this be about racism?

Q.  If any entertainer made a reference to Pres. Trump looking like an ape, do you think they’d be fired?

• Madonna said she thought about blowing up the White House.
• Snoop Dogg made a music video, showing a clown-faced Trump being “shot”.
• Robert DeNiro said he’d like to punch Trump in the face.

Were any of these people punished for what they said?

People should be asking why Pres. Obama’s chief advisor (Ms. Jarrett) has ties to the Muslim Brotherhood – and – why Obama gave them billions of dollars during the “Arab Spring”.  People should ask why Obama threw away our victory in Iraq, then allowed ISIS to form a caliphate.  People should ask why Obama allowed torture and mass genocide against Christians in the Middle East.

Instead, comedienne Roseanne Barr is being demonized for making a dumb joke.
