Roseanne Barr’s TV Character Is a Trump Supporter
New York Post ^ | January 9, 2018

Roseanne Barr said her character’s support for President Donald Trump in the revived sitcom “Roseanne” is a reflection of her own views and also true to the show’s roots.

The sitcom brings the Conner family and the life of the country up to date when it debuts March 27 on ABC.

“I’ve always attempted to portray a realistic portrait of the American people and of working class people. And in fact it was working class people who elected Trump,” Barr said Monday.

Rosie is not Roseanne.

The latter is a Trump supporter.

The former is a commie pig dyke.

I was thinking along the same lines. Just like All in the Family made conservatives and Nixon supporters look like imbeciles. The same will be done to Trump supporters.

The funny thing is that Rosie O’Donnell started off as a working class standup.

From what I hear this family is planned to be a very troubled family. One of the kids is a cross dresser.

Now there’s middle class America for ya.

I understand the sentiment, as I never cared for Roseanne, but if she is a Trump supporter off-camera, why would she want to caricature herself? Assuming she’s calling the shots...

How so? Archie was the smartest guy on the show by far.

I know I am old, but Rosanne is hot in a weird kinda way.

She's chunky and sassy and getting gray...but she's conservative.

I don't like her voice but her photos are kinda hot...in a weird kinda way.

I’ve been watching the reruns of her old show. She’s terrific. Such a natural comedian...and she’s wholesome, too..

Don't forget, the liberal on the show looked like, and was identified as, a meathead.

Not Rosie O’Donnell. This is Roseanne Barr who is a huge Trump supporter on Twitter.

I recall the episode of "All in the Family" where Archie said he could end terrorists taking over airplanes. Just hand out handguns to each passenger as they board, and the passengers could take out the terrorists. Done in humor, but makes sense in a 2nd Amendment sort of way.

Rosanne, Rosie is a fat carpet muncher who hates Men especially Trump.
