Roseanne Barr says she may fight ABC firing, retweets claim Michelle Obama was behind ouster
Fox News ^

Posted on 05/31/2018 10:06:52 AM PDT by bryan999

Roseanne Barr made it clear on Wednesday she's considering fighting ABC's move to cancel her revival after her racist tweet -- and the comic even pushed an accusation that former first lady Michelle Obama was behind her ouster.

Despite initially saying she would be quitting Twitter after posting a negative and racially charged comment about former Obama aide Valerie Jarrett, the star returned Tuesday and let loose on social media.

On Wednesday, Barr revealed that the positive feedback she was getting from people who still support her was making her feel emboldened to combat ABC in some way.

“You guys make me feel like fighting back. I will examine all of my options carefully and get back to U,” she wrote.

One right-wing activist even went as far as to accuse ABC Entertainment President Channing Dungey of consulting former first lady Michelle Obama before canceling her show. Barr retweeted the unproven claim to her followers.

Mooch ruined a lot of careers and jobs with her tantrum. Seems a little odd for her to be so irate. She’s a bitter hateful woman.

OF COURSE the Obamas were behind it. But that knowledge should not be required to stand up for your first amendment rights. Too little, too late.

Odd that I never heard anyone accuse the movie Planet of the Apes as being racist.

Hopefully Roseanne will refrain from tweeting that Michelle Obama looks like any particular creature.

Can’t believe Mrs Obama got turned down for a part in the Solo film.

I’m sure that’s why it bombed.

Makes sense....Jarrett lives with the Obamas. I’m sure it just took a phone call.

“...accusation that former first lady Michelle Obama was behind her ouster”

Rush just mentioned this.

Roseanne, there is no hope. You are in an industry dominated by a$$-kissing liberals. You’re finished. You are not conservative, and I don’t support you. Go away.

“She’s a bitter hateful woman.”

I will grant you that “Michelle” is bitter and hateful.

I don’t believe for a second the story that ValJar introduced the young lovers Barack and Michelle. That entire backstory is BS. Jarrett has always been Barack’s handler. He doesn’t “consult” ValJar, he follows her directives.

I’m thankful that no one is posting any pictures that cast aspersions on Michelle Obama’s appearance by showing her side by side with something else.

Jarrett lives with the Obamas. The Obamas “Own” Jarrett.

[[For Roseann’s Tweet to be racist she would have to known that VJ was black.]]

No no- all that has to be done is for a liberal to claim it is racism, whether it is or not, an that is now the new truth (despite being false)

Well, let's take a look at that vile George Lopez. A huge anti-white racist.

He had his own show.

I didn’t know VJ was black either. Her skin tone is lighter than a lot of caucasians I know.

“Roseanne is anti-traditional values.”

In some ways, yes. But watching reruns of the old series I was amazed at how traditional values were a part of the show. The Martn Mull homosexual was “out there”, but overall it was good.

The parents were adamant about the daughters not having sex unmarried. Roseanne rescued the daughter’s boyfriend from an abusive mother. Roseanne and Dan frequently mentioned how lucky they were to have found each other; they never cheated on each other. Jackie would tell Roseanne how lucky she was to have found such a “good man”. When it came to protecting and providing for the family, Dan was the guy. When Jackie was in a domestic abuse relationship, Roseanne and Dan stepped in to end that.

Really, the traditional values for a blue-collar, middle class family were highlighted.

And that was Roseanne’s show; she had control of the content. With the new one, with that skank Sara Gilbert pretty much in charge, I was worried. I hope the lesbian freak falls on her face, career-wise.

former first lady Michelle Obama was behind her ouster.

All things Barack and Michelle and their friends no one can make remarks that aren't flattering to the most divisive administration ever, even now M and B are able to pull strings....Roseanne's remarks may have been out of line but nothing compared to the insults and foul language hurled daily at President Obama and his family.

This is the Shadow Government and Deep State at work....All Things Obama.
