Comedian Roseanne Barr has apologised for a tweet comparing ex-Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett, who is African American, to an ape.

She sparked an online backlash after she called Mrs Jarrett the child of the Islamist group the Muslim Brotherhood and the Planet of the Apes film.

She deleted the racist post and apologised amid criticism of her and the ABC network, which airs her show.

The second you apologize to the left, the blood is in the water and they can taste blood. You NEVER EVER apologize EVER! Michelle Wolf said WORSE to Sarah Sanders FACE and the left LOVED IT, her netflix show is NOT canceled, and she appeared on leftist talk shows and doubled down. Bill Maher called blacks the N word and no boycott. Roseanne, NEVER apologize, thought she would know better by now not to do that

Valerie Jarrett is African? I thought she was straight up Persian. She damn sure ain’t American.

I don’t know how this helps her income. She just got cancelled.

Unless she owns the show and has another outlet lined up to run it. ABC could still sue her for loss of revenue.

Could someone have blackmailed her into doing this? ABC bribe her so they would have an excuse to cancel the show?

Jarret is NOT “African-American”. She is Iranian.

(The original Aryans, BTW)

Very predictable. As was the show’s cancellation, at least until she REALLY grovels.

It’s done to avoid slander. The game is played that you launch your smear, then wait a few days and release a synthetic apology.

The image she created of Jarrett’s politics as a cross between the Muslim Brotherhood and the Planet of the Apes sticks so that Jarrett is viewed as both radical and backward, which is true.
