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.

She caved dam it we gots to stop doing that

She at least ought to try the "somebody hacked my twitter" excuse first. That's leaving good material on the table.

this is to funny. Val Jar certainly looks like a Monchichi.

[upchuck]

Much, way too much ado about nothing. Rosanne is entitled to her personal beliefs as we all are.

Ya done good Rosanne. Smack ‘em again.

Yeah, how incredibly insensitive to apes everywhere...they just wish to be left alone to eat, sleep and screw - as opposed to ruling every other ape on the planet.

The person in question:

"Jarrett was born in Shiraz, Iran, to American parents James E. Bowman and Barbara Taylor Bowman. One of her maternal great-grandfathers, Robert Robinson Taylor, was an architect who was the first accredited African American architect, and the first African American student enrolled at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology....Her parents were both African American; on the television series Finding Your Roots, genealogical research and DNA testing indicated that Jarrett also has French, Scottish, and Native American ancestry." - Wiki

I had no idea she was "black". She could pass for David Hogg's mother. But if you do ANYTHING to offend the left, expect your livelihood to disappear! You can crap on President Trump, but don't do ANYTHING to offend the left. Intentional or not.

Jarrett is not an ape. IMHO, she is one of the lizard people from another planet.

This is the problem with Twitter. You’ve typed your thoughts for the world to see before your brain engages. Saying you’re sorry isn’t going to stop the avalanche of (deserved) bad PR that comes from something like this. And she can’t say that she didn’t expect it — people posting without thinking on Twitter happens over and over and over and over again.

[miss marmelstein]

No doubt ABC was just waiting for this.

Roseanne, the Tommy Robinson of the USA.

[TBP]

Which she didn’t do.

If Roseanne Barr had said the exact same thing about Ben Carson that she said about Valerie Jarrett, not only would her show still be on the air, ti would have been renewed for another two seasons already — and every “woke” “progressive” would be fervently defending her. No question about it.

[Catmom]

It’s clear she hasn’t evolved enough, that she still doesn’t “get it.”

You haven’t stopped being a progtard til you a) speak your mind and b) stop apologizing for a.

There are no apes featured in the Star Wars franchise. There are Wookiees, and they are mythical. It would be like comparing someone to a unicorn or a cherub. The racism charge is a false charge used to persuade the unthoughtful to outrage to provide the political cover for destruction of Rosanne’s career.

Jarrett is Muslim Brotherhood and here fashion tastes often look like they came from wardrobe of planet of the apes

[kaehurowing]

I thought that was only permissible for Dubya.

VJ is a scumbag of the highest order. She may have done more crimes than Clinton. Resorting to the racial attack and not facts kills our momentum and severely damages our side further. There was never any real substantiated race hatred from our side. Now we are covered by that blanket.

[Vaquero]

I didn’t know Reptilian was a race.

Well…there’s the Gorn. And the Xindi-Reptilians. Far better than the Xindi-Insectoids.

Why should Roseanne be punished? On the contrary, she should have received an extension and a raise.

The vile, subhuman leftist “comedians” tweet anything they please and they are praised and rewarded. They aren’t punished in any way.

Tell me: Why should real Americans (Conservatives) stand for that? Why do we always get down on our knees and apologize for being alive?

Never, ever apologize!!

[Eagles6]

Jarrett reminds me of the Lizard Queen on “V”.

[KosmicKitty]

Of course Roseanne was wrong. Everyone knows ValJar’s momma as a jackal.

[Drew68]

Jarrett isn’t even black, she is Iranian, a Jew hating, Muslim Brotherhood supporting Jihadist

No, she's black. She was born in Iran but she's black. Both her parents are black.
